In other news, we have solidified a date at the Sunset Tavern in Ballard for Wednesday, January 13th with our friends in Osaka Explosion.  We’ve been hammering & smashing up a few new song ideas as we get ready to track the second half of songs for our new album (trust us, we’ve tossed around a Meeeylion creative working titles over rehearsals, although all have been quite silly so far).  We’re to a point we know what we’re going to work with song-wise - now we just have to get them recorded.  We’re most assuredly hoping that minus any little unexpected bumps/quirks/catastrophes, we’ll be sending off a Batch O’ Songs for mixing/production by the end of May& get this thing out the door in the second half of 2010.
