Bye Bye Blogger

2010-01-12T12:17:00.000-08:00

We're leaving good old blogspot to return to our own server, where we are trying out Wordpress.

So, see you back at:

www.audibleband.com

Over there, we'll have more pics and our new ep and a place where you can order t-shirts and stuff soon as well. Maybe.

Whoooooops

So it turns out that it is a bit more difficult than I thought to record music in a house where a new baby lives. Time to devote to making music has certainly been at a premium; hence, the EP was not ready by October, or even November. We will be finishing the recording early this week and will begin mixing it this coming weekend. We also are resuming band rehearsals to prepare for our return to the stage on January 29th at Johnny Brenda's (details to come). The EP will be ready for the new year and our show. I think it is worth the wait. This one is close to our hearts.

Fall EP

2009-10-01T12:31:00.000-07:00

Things are going nicely with the recording of our 2009 fall EP. We'll be recording vocals starting this weekend and then mixing in the next few weeks. On track to be available by the end of October or thereabouts. I'll be posting a new song from it soon. We're also in the process of revamping our website. In the meantime, join us on Facebook and Twitter for more updates, pics, videos and songs. Links on the right---->

The EP now has a title and tentative track listing. It is called Isolette and contains the following songs:

The Last Thing I Remember
All Alarms
The Isolette
Later On We'll Live (working title)
Fourteen Weeks

Recording

2009-08-31T08:41:00.001-07:00

The gear is set up in the rock garage, the songs are ready, and we start recording tonight on our new EP. Pretty excited. There will be 5 or 6 songs on this and we're going to be giving it away to you because we like you very much. Songs are proving to be the strongest we've ever done. Should be available by October unless some label hears them, falls in love with us, and decides to make us famous with a four-month marketing plan. So yeah, you'll have it in October.

In the meantime, listen to or download our new LP, "In Simple Intervals." Now you don't need a Paypal account to purchase a download!

Well hello. I guess we'll make some more music.

Hello friends...

It has been a strange and difficult and happy summer so far. We've been out of touch because there has been a lot going on in our personal lives. Won't get into it all here, but Kris and Mike are now parents of a beautiful baby boy named Alex Owen Kennedy! He was born quite early, so he has to stay in the hospital until at least late August.

Which means that Audible has just a little bit more free time than expected this summer. To celebrate, we're working on recording a new EP of 5 songs to follow up our recent full-length In Simple Intervals. It will be available this fall. More info to follow. We also are working on getting a proper website up so you can see/hear/purchase physical copies (does anyone use these anymore) of the albums, plus our sweet new shirts. If you want.

Also want to send a shout out to the Swedish "house" "music" "producer" who goes by the name Audible and has been clogging up our iTunes page recently with ten thousand remixes of his three songs. Hello!

Talk to you all soon. Thanks for listening.

Come Together

2009-05-30T07:44:00.000-07:00

Yo Dudes. Join us at Liberty Lands Park in Northern Liberties Sunday, June 6th. We'll be playing at the annual, semi-annual? music festival.

It should be a great day - it is also the debut of the the park's new landscaping. The new design will help with storm water run-off. The Spirit paper said it's a "project that has involved building a stage and a rain garden, which is a small, pond-like depression that will catch rain water and hold it for a few hours, allowing it to sink into the four new cisterns under Liberty Lands."

Sounds pretty cool. Also, don't forget: refillable beers all day! Word.

Audible goes on around 8pm. See you there!

2009-03-26T07:54:00.001-07:00

Great news! We've booked our mastering session and are moving forward with our plans to release our new full-length album "In Simple Intervals." On track for a late May release! We also are planning on recording an ep for release in the fall to make up for our lollygagging. Stay tuned for more details.

Big News. Big News.

2009-02-23T09:52:00.000-08:00

We would like to announce a very special upcoming release. No, not our new album "In Simple Intervals," which is coming out in April or May, we swear.

No, this release will actually be taking less time to produce than our album did. A mere nine months, in fact. Yes: Kris and Mike are with child. Or should we say childs. We got twins coming, friends. Never let it be said that we are underachievers.

We'll be playing a few shows before circumstances dictate our next move. Stay tuned.

Saturdee Nite!

2008-12-10T18:39:00.001-08:00

Come to our show this weekend at JB's. It's sure to please. Headlining is the always awesome Photon Band. And Brown Recluse Sings opens. We're excited to play - we have a new song and one very old one has been resurrected... Mary

A Sort of Homecoming

2008-10-28T14:34:00.001-07:00

Jim and Mike haven't played in a show in their old home town in quite possibly a decade. This will all change Friday, November 7, when Audible take the very unlikely step of loading up the van and driving to The Cherrywood in Clementon, NJ to play a show with fellow Philly bands Grammar Debate!, Beloved Infidels, and Happy Accident. Folks, this is a liquor store with a rock club INSIDE of it. This is either going to be a great idea or a terrible one. Who knows how our Jersey brethren will take to a bunch of Philly indie rock bands? Judging by the list of past acts to play the 'Wood (Acts of Violence, Flesh Engine, DVS) we are going to need all the help we can get. Please join us.

Steve - en Caw - ley

2008-10-04T09:51:00.000-07:00

This is Stev - en Caw - ly. He is the only one in the band with the proper number of syllables to say his name like a baseball chant. I think he brings us a lot of luck during Phillies games because of that. I like this picture of Steve. Too bad he's so not nice and never has any good music ideas.

This is Not Our New Band Picture

2008-09-13T13:44:00.000-07:00

Yes, we need a new band photo. In the meantime I thought I'd post this awesome picture from 2003. Do you think Jim is going to kill me for posting this? Ha ha ha - I can't stop laughing. We were so young and cute - and pudgy. I guess we shouldn't try to take our own photos. Our favorite fan Jeremy is going to try to help us this October with real photos. If you have any ideas post a comment and let us know! A pumpkin patch? Railroad ties?...

Happy Labor Day

2008-08-30T06:38:00.001-07:00

Hello! This is Mary. I have to say the show the other night was so much fun. I had had about 4 hours of sleep that week so I was surprised it went OK. (I had been negotiating the sale of my home to a squirrel family who thought they'd just move right in. I declined the offer.)

I thought I'd post this cute picture of my keyboard which is waiting for Mike's return. He is testing his strength on a week-long tour of bands. One band per night. He's played a show with Bitter Bitter Weeks, the Future Tips, and two shows with Relay all this week. (Actually the 2nd show with Relay is tonight at JB's.) He is crazy. But he loves it.

Anyway we are continuing to write songs so we have a slew of them soon after our new record comes out. We also have more shows coming up which we will post here soon. I hope you have a great Labor Day!!

Now a Rock Show

2008-08-19T14:34:00.001-07:00

We're playing at JBs this saturday night (august 23) and it would be so nice to see you. Joining us will be the always wonderful Buried Beds and a band that is new to us: Missing Palmer West. As this group features Scott Jefferson from the Bigger Lovers we have no doubt that it will be sweet pop of the finest construction.

This will be the first show of an accidental residency at JBs for Mike, as he will be performing there Thursday the 28th with the Future Tips and Saturday the 30th as the guest drummer for Relay.

Hi there. Check out the latest edition (No. 060) of the City Paper's Local Support podcast for a brand new track from our upcoming album! The song is called "Dust From a Broom" and it leads off the podcast and it is a rock and roll song. Thanks to our pal Jon Solomon for playing the song!

Well hello. It is nice to see you again.

2008-07-31T07:03:00.000-07:00

This might be the 75th time I've typed out a message stating that Audible is finally ready to emerge from our long, quiet hibernation and start making a delicate racket, but this time I mean it. Really. Our album is done. Honestly. Kris and Mary won't let me touch it. They've hidden the hard drives. It is DONE. It has ten or so songs and it is being called "In Simple Intervals" which means something to me but I am not going to tell you what.

We recorded these songs at home in the smallest room I could find.

This is our new website for now. This bloggy format will make it easier for us to post stuff, such as pictures, music, and late night ramblings about low frequency oscillators.

Hopefully over the next few weeks we will know more about when and where this long suffering album will be released. It's been so long since we put some music out, I am not even sure what "releasing" an album is anymore. Perhaps we'll just scatter those ones and zeros into the air like confetti and see where they land. I can tell you that we'll be putting up some tracks over the next few weeks because I am anxious to hear what people think of this thing.

Kris has dug her manager/booker hat out of a dusty closet attic and has started to set up some shows for the fall. We may be sleeping on your floor very soon.

Stay tuned. Rest in peace, CT.

This is our new website. For now.
