Today we tracked drums in my dad’s garage aka (Crazy Horse Studios II). Named after Neil Young’s band in Ragged Glory. Good times were had, sticks were broken, and neighbors were disturbed! Thankfully, no complaints were filed.

Update from Bill
Salutations,
Two days ago we released our Album “You Don’t Need This…” through Bandcamp, which is a really fresh site for unsigned bands like ourselves. We recorded the entire album in my home studio and it took us months of tracking, mixing, listening, critiquing, and mastering to reach its final release-worthy state.
After some research into independent music marketing, we came to the conclusion that we ought to offer downloads of our album for free with the option of paying as opposed to trying to squeeze 3-5 dollars out of our friends and fans. This way people can download our music without worry of whether they will like it, cause it won’t cost them anything. Seriously, who would buy an album of a band they know absolutely nothing about? I for one wouldn’t, but I would definitely consider downloading an album for free and giving it a shot. I might even spin a few bucks at the band, because at this point, I am well aware of the countless hours and/or dollars in the studio it takes to put out a decent product.
Creating and listening to music is one of the most awesome things us humanoids do, and I am grateful that we could be a part of it. I am grateful that we can share our music with people all around the globe through the cyberspaces and whatnot. Thanks for reading, thanks for sharing, and thanks for listening…

Something else on your mind?
This sounds so sick, I need to hear it live. When’s your next show?
Yeah, what about the physical CDs?
I’m still working on the CD artwork (insert, back and label). Fortunately, Bill made that cool abstract you already see, so that’s one step closer to completion.
How can I stay in the loop with you?

Shirt sizes
We need your help finding what shirts we should order, pronto! I think we’re going with American Apparel shirts, so base your answers on that.
Thanks!
We’ll try to get shirts for our January 30th show. If not, expect them to be available in February.

Salutations!
If you were there, thanks for making it to Kelly’s Pub this past Sunday. It was a fun show for us and we’re thankful to share it with you.
We currently don’t have any shows booked and we’ll probably keep it that way for a month or two.
In the meantime, we’ve been recording an EP to release to the world. It will be our “dirty word for a dirty world” (Anthony Burgess).
Expect 3-5 original tracks by early 2010. Best of all: it’ll be available in digital format through Bandcamp! (At the moment, we haven’t decided on a title for the project.)

Did you know you can listen to our demo tracks in the sidebar? (If you’re in a news reader or email, head to our official website, TheScarletParadigm.com.)
We’re on Myspace (duh) and ReverbNation, too.

One more thing.
We need lots of street team folks (for artwork, photos, tickets, and posters) to help promote. Interested? Please contact us.
Thanks!
