Breaks.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I am currently at a stand still with writing for this musical project. I have been off in another sea altogether as of late, and have let some other projects come to the front for a while. I will try to keep updating this blog with various goings on relating to CR and the circles that encompass the project. I have been reading and making lots of drawings, and writing/working on some other musical projects and most importantly trying to balance teaching and life...

SQRM has a couple gigs coming up, 10/24 we are part of a two day noise fest at the eleven and we will be doing a special set featuring the legendary chris dooley on guitar/tapes/electronics (More info at the bottom of this message).

We have another show 11/6 with Iron Lung, Mind Eraser and Dry Hump in Boston.

I am going to be doing a special CR show for a friends record release, more info on that to come...
other things to stay tuned for the Western Mass Comp tape, Viper tape, Teeth tape, and a couple of other things.
