The good part about opening is you can just stop and enjoy everyone else’s shows and we did just that. Seafood Hotline and Simon mine from heavier places, but both are remarkable at what they do. Seafood Hotline are a somewhat sick duo who honest-to-god recapture the fury and strangeness of indie-label Nirvana, and I loved the hell out of it. Joe from the Hotline is such a cool guy, he made mention of us throwing down in Murfreesboro sometime. I can see doing that sometime. Simon were hilarious and heavy, stoner rock with a sense of humor and some art-rock leanings. They also take established songs and completely nuke the arrangements (their version of the Sex Pistols’ “Anarchy in the UK” is price of admission alone).
Altogether it was a good show. I’m already looking forward to May, and then to recording the album.

Tomorrow Night!
And remember that Shortwave Dahlia will be on FIRST at 10:00 sharp so get there early!
They’ll be performing a brand spanking new song, so be there for the unveiling!
Our first question submission came from onyxblue1 over at LiveJournal who asked:
Where did they record the EP?
Answer:
All the tracks on the EP (and everything apart from the two live performances to date) were recorded in the studio in my home. “Call and Response” was mostly recorded in the rental home my wife and I were in before we bought our current home. Several of the early tracks were started there as well.
Good question!

Here’s where you come in (of course). If you’re not already a user, go sign up. It’s really sharp, you can find out about other artists (through the tastes of the friends you make there) and sometimes even download free music. We’d love to show the magnitude of our music’s following, and you fine people are who we depend on to be as loud as possible about it.
Oh, and friend me…the username is (of course) shortwavedahlia.
See ya,
Jack
Of those of you who plan to attend, is there anything you’re itching to hear? We’re still deciding what to play that night.
It will be available exclusively in our mp3 store, located at our MySpace profile (http://www.myspace.com/shortwavedahlia). Each of the five tracks are available individually at $0.99/track, and a bundled package will be sold at the low price of $3.00.
Thanks for listening and continuing to support this crazy dream.
