Update #4: 50%, 11 days left

Posted on February 5, 2010

We are over halfway there, with 11 days left to go. This is awesome, thank you to everyone that has helped so far.

We're going to be practicing all weekend (possibly adding some new instrumentation?) and working on a couple more new songs. Starting now, we're going into full sneak preview mode and we'll be posting snippets of new songs; some pictures of our new, slightly less shitty practice space; and maybe some video. We've got 11 days left before we lock ourselves in the barn/saloon, it's going to be great (great, of course, is a very subjective word).

As always, check out sadbastardbookclub.com for more.

THANK YOU... NOW GET TO WORK Digital download/CD/booklet/thank you card. Plus you have an invitation to come up to the cabin on the last day of recording (Feb. 21st), hang out and enjoy a BBQ with us. Oh, and then we are going to put you to work. Many of our songs require handclapping and group vocals. If you’re up to it, you can be on the record as part of the handclap choir. (This would work best if you’re from the San Francisco Bay Area and have a mode of transportation other than a “fixie”.)

The Sad Bastard Book Club

Has not connected their Facebook account.

Is it a book club or a band? Is "folky latin dirge" a legitimate musical genre? Do they fancy themselves musicians, writers, or hacks? Are they serious or is this an elaborate joke? The answer to all questions is yes.
