Hello there!
A "new" song is playing on our music player. We sent out an earlier version a year or so ago as we worked up the arrangement for Strange. Here's an updated arrangement and mix. Hope you enjoy it!

The Comforters' New Album - Two Piece Orchestra will be out June 15th.

Hi friends,
It has been a while...but I'm happy to report that we've wrapped up all tracking for the new album! I'll be sharing some of the new tracks as they come back from the mixer in these next weeks. The first track is The Fall of Fall, which you can download in our extras section, or at ilike.com. We've had a busy couple of years - one of us went back to graduate school and started a new career. But we have time once again for the music and we're thrilled!

The new album,  Two Piece Orchestra. is set for a June release, but you will be able to pre-order the album tthis May (more details coming soon).

You may have read on our home page that I Want To Rock is heading to the SXSW film festival this March. It is featured in the film, Girls Named Pinky, which will be making its world premiere at the festival. The film will be shown March 13th, 15th and 17th at the Alamo Lamar 1 Theater in Downtown Austin, TX. For those of you heading down to Austin for the festival, be sure to go see the film!
Visit SXSW.com for more info.

Shows:
 We are once again playing the Morrissey Tribute night. This year it will be held at the Downtown Lounge in Eugene. The show is set for May 22nd. We go on at 10pm.

More spring/summer shows in the works.

Hope everyone has been well!

November already.

We've played some shows and had some drums tracked out in Nashville since the last post. We've written some new songs, but mainly we've worked a whole lot on keeping a roof over our heads.

You know how it goes...

The music is coming. Just takes a bit longer to get recorded in these leaner times.


Hope everyone is well!

Hi friends,

Sorry that we have been so quiet these last few months - J is working on his Masters degree and that has meant almost no time to record. (Apparently they expect him to write papers and study - sheeesh!)

But don't worry - we are still making music - we just have to schedule things a bit differently.

We have a little break coming up in August and we plan to record a LOT! So for those of you who have been patiently waiting for the next download - it is coming.

The new album will be pushed back a bit - but it is just a matter of getting some time in at the studio with Jason. The songs are all there, waiting their turns. We really can't wait to share them all with you.

Hope everyone has been having a wonderful summer.

New demo download is available on our "Download's" Page.

We have a lot more to add to this one - but we'd thought we'd give you a rough sketch at least  : )

"Would It Break Your Heart?" is the working title right now.



and I had a lovely birthday week(s)...thank you very much!

Happy Monday,

~p

Next Download - Coming very very soon!
I've been making merry for my birthday and that is why we are a
bit behind getting it to you : )

It will be a new one called "Would It Break Your Heart?" 

Last night was splendid. Testface played an awesome set and Whiskey Priest closed out the night with his sweet and melodic songs. The folks at Sam Bond's Garage were terrific. A good bunch of the fine folks of Eugene came out for a mid-week show and they were a great group. We had a blast playing and it was a really warm and receptive environment.

Jason played a fantastic set, if I do say so myself. I love what he comes up with on the electric and he is just so rock solid that I feel so secure up there. I'm a lucky gal.

Happy belated birthday to my kid brother Brian!

Friday night's show at The Indigo District was a blast.

A big thank you to Leona Laurie for having us play.  Ehren played an awesome set of new songs from his upcoming full length album.  His song, "Earthquakes" was stuck in my head long after we got home.

Everyone who worked the Indigo District was super nice too.

It really was "such a nice day outside," and inside too : )

I posted a video of "Strange" from the show on our video page.
(Thanks to Leona and Ashley!)

Okay, so now and then I will swing  by the Comforters' music page at the iTunes store - just to see what's up.

And over the last year I have watched "Lazy Sundays" and "I Want To Rock" wrestle eachother each week for the top spot on most downloaded song (for us). And it is not just with iTunes but with the other online stores. All of the fancy info I get back from the "powers that be" seem to confirm this trend.

But this morning, low and behold, "Young Republicans" was in the top spot and I was so thrilled.

What's going on?

Must have something to do with the political season and all.

Don't know why I have such a soft spot for that tune - I had very little to do with that one. Jason wrote it. But I've always liked that song best and now it seems (at least for this morning) other folks do too.

and I didn't take any pictures...GRRRR!

But we did have a lot of fun this weekend. We were working on a song called (at this point), "Would it Break Your Heart." J tracked bass and some guitar parts and I tracked lead vocals. Our good friend and local troubador, Dan Jones, came by and laid down some horns for a section or two. It was a lot of fun.

Walrus was fascinated by the trombone and wanted to hang out with Dan while he played.

kooky dog.
