3. As I Sing Here
4. B-Side to Honky Tonk Woman

We are getting close to finished with the home recording. Although we’re close to getting
done, it doesn’t mean much, because every little thing friggin’ takes forever. It’s just the
nature of recording when you don’t know what you’re doing. So far we have an new one
called Na NA NA (for the moment), and 5 Souls, are 99%complete. As I sing, and Daylight
Honey almost complete, and we haven’t started with B-Side to Honky Tonk Woman. After
we’re done we will take them into a studio to have them mixed and mastered. Then we will
order a pressing for our demo/1st EP.
February we have Jeff sitting in for us, and we are playing Angels Roadhouse in Yucaipa,
then the next day going into the studio to do some quick live recording with Jeff. It will
mostly be for fun. Jeff helped start the band and was in the band for so long, we would
like to get down a recording of what we sound like with him. If the recording turns out
decent we will order a small pressing, as a special EP for fans and friends. At that session
we are not going to record our best songs, but we are going to focus on the songs that
shine better live, where a track by track recording process would kill the vibe of the song.
We plan on recording: She’s My Babe, Friends, an new one Brett just finished, that will
definitely get you grooving. As well as whatever else we feel like recording at the time.
Maybe Folsom Prison Blues.
Then we are going to start our search for another drummer. We’ll get him dialed in and
start playing shows regularly, and after May go into the studio on a piece by piece basis
and start work on a full album.
In the meantime we might play a show here or there, to give you all your jollies.

are once again without a drummer. But in the meantime we are busily working on recording.
No really. It’s long overdue to get a good recording of some of our songs. So we have been
focusing entirely on recording. We have two songs almost ready to be mastered and mixed
the studio at the beginning of February with our original drummer, Jeff Moody to record some
tracks. We have been talking of possibly playing a show or two in the meantime, and having
Jeff of Rene fill in for us. We are not planning on looking for a permanent drummer until the
recording is done, but if you know someone who would be great for us, let us know.
As a side thing, I (Brett) am joining a hobby band with Jeff as well, so if you know of any
musicians that may be interested in joining let us know, we will rehearse one day a week at
Jeff’s. So anyway, we just wanted to keep in touch and let you all know what we have been
doing.

We have a new drummer, Colin Riner so say hello when you see him. We’re
working on home recording again, but I know you’ve heard that before. Jeff Moody
just got married to the beautiful Julie Helms, so send your congratulations if you
haven’t already and a really expensive present as well!
I (Brett) still Jam with Jeff on a regular basis, and we may get another project
started.
We're Playing Worthington's November, then plan one show in December, then we
plan on scheduling a slew of shows in the new year. We're using the time Nov-Dec
to record and work on an acoustic set.

It's been a while since we last played a show. We stopped scheduling shows way
back, to make time to go to the studio, although we never made it. We played a few
parties, but as far as public shows, we haven't done much.
We have three new songs that will blow your minds. We had some shows scheduled,
and if you have caught word of those, we have cancelled them. Jeff is taking a break
from the band. With work, kids and planning a wedding, things were getting tough to
juggle all that along with a band. So if you know of any drummers looking for a band,
point them our way. Steve and I are trying out drummers as we speak. We have a
show scheduled Saturday August 20 at All About Coffee in Corona, that I (Brett) will
keep and I'll just play a short solo opening set, Steve may join me. I'll be playing from
7:30-8:00 than after me is a great original band called Neon Fields. It's free, and all
ages, check the website for more info.
Other news, we finally have some music posted. The recordings are of a rehearsal, so
the recording quality is far from the best, but at least it will satiate your Soul of the
River tastebuds.

We have three new original songs that are incredible, we can't wait to play them for
you. We are getting interviewed for Digress Magazine this Thursday, so look for us in
that. We are scheduling shows again, we're not going to the studio for a while, so
ignore what I said before. We will I promise. I have some video clips of us live and a

Since the last show at Universal Bar and Grill, we decided that we will not schedule any
nice, relaxing, coming home to a normal life, not constantly working at being the
greatest band in the history of the world. Steve used some leftover royalties from his
previous band, Menudo, and spent the time in Bali. Jeff starred as Batman in the new
previous band, Menudo, and spent the time in Bali. Jeff starred as Batman in the new
Batman beginnings and as Darth Vader in the new Star Wars flick, both in costume
only. Brett spent most of his time picking fights with junior high kids. Dennis put the of
pirhanas, and a secret maze of death for unwelcome visitors.
We all got started rehearsing for the studio, when Brett got sick. We plan to get started
a third time this week and have the demo recorded within a month.

We're going into the studio, to make a real CD, so you can brag and show your
friends that you knew of us before them. Then they will ask for a copy and you will
burn them a copy, instead of having them buy a real one from us, and you will never
tell us, even ten years from now, although we wouldn't give a crap.

Still doing the home recording. Steve and Brett performed an open mic at Racers
December 22, 2004, and had the crowd chasing them home screaming for more.
They had to hide behind newspapers at a bus stop like the Beatles to get away.
Brett did a solo acoustic open mic at the Coffee Depot Dec 23, 2004 and will have
a live recording of the performance.

We are now recording studio quality recordings of our songs, which is very time
consuming, so it will be a while until they are completed. And we are also recording
live rehearsals, which will not sound as good, but we will at least have something for
you to listen to until the studio tracks are done. Yeah I know I know, we lag. But Jeff
is dilligently on our case to "Finish it already!". But if you haven't heard us, then
when they are completed, you will see that we are truly as great as we say we are.

Brett and Steve are busy recording the rough tracks for some of the songs, so you can have
something to listen to while you should probably be doing something more responsible. But we do it
for you, because you are very very special.
