Yeayea! After seemingly endless delays, The Tradewinds 7" is available on Gilgongo Records...
Here's the story... waaaay back in 2008, Teague, Kelly and I were in a pop-punk band called The Tradewinds. We recorded six songs at my Tempe house just as Kelly moved up to Portland. Months passed. The guy that was putting out the record disappeared from the face of the earth. James Fella came to the rescue and said that he would put it out on Gilgongo. Further delays were incurred due to several bad test presses, love triangles, more delays at the pressing plant, and my own negligence as to what to do for artwork.
But all of those things are water under the proverbial pop-punk bridge. Sure, we're not a bona-fide band anymore - we only play a couple times a year now, whenever we're in the same place at the same time. But nevertheless, I'm excited that this record is out. I'm really proud of it and I'm excited for people to hear it even if it is a little bit late.

The record is $5ppd from Gilgongo.
The Gilgongo online store is here.
