    Latest Update on the Album

    Hey guys!  Just wanted to get everyone up to speed on the upcoming album release and our progress so far.  We have been hard at work in the studio putting all the finishing touches on the tracks including horn overdubs, backup vocals, string overdubs, etc.  Everything is coming together great so far and we couldn't be more excited to get this new music out to you.  We're currently in the process of finishing overdubs and starting to mix for the next few weeks and are sending it out to NY to get it professionally mastered.  Our tentative release is looking to be towards the end of April.  We are really taking our time with this project to make sure we can put out the highest quality music that we have to offer. Thanks for your patience and hope to see most of you soon!

    WE HIT OUR GOAL TODAY!!! THANKYOU SO MUCH!!

    Can't thank you all enough for your contributions to our project!!  Still can't believe that we hit the goal in only 18 days!!  We have been continuing to write and record for the new album and its going great!

    Its also been a very busy week for us here in Bloomington and Indy.  As some of you may have heard, we were just selected by Rolling Stone Magazine as the winners of a contest to open for The Roots and Jane's Addiction at a Super Bowl Tailgate Party this Sunday!  We are really excited about this opportunity and have been racing to get everything ready for this big gig.  Thanks to any of you who voted for us this week!

    More information about this event can be found here:  http://blog.do317.com/2012/01/30/the-main-squeeze-wins-rolling-stone-volkswagen-super-band-contest/

    Heres a sneak peak of us working on a new song "Colorful Midst."  Thanks again for your support!
