I got hit in the head with a board at work today and had to get stitches in my face… I’m fine but it’s been a long time since I got stitches or hurt myself to the point of needing medical attention. This got me thinking, I need to play music instead of working with my hands so I don’t lose a finger or something before my next record finally gets released! I also thought about how nice it would be to play some shows again after a long summer of working too much and concentrating on recording music instead of playing it. I blow off a lot of steam performing and when I take a long break from it I end up doing stupid things like getting hit in the head with boards. Needless to say I booked some shows when i got back from the hospital. See the ’shows’ page.
In other news, the new record is finished. I got the master back just the other day and it’s sounding as good as I hoped it would. Derek and I did the art work for it and will be putting the finishing touches on it within the next week or so. Hopefully we can get some new mp3s up on this site or at myspace.com/macphersonband before too long. No word yet on a release date, probably not until late winter/early spring at this point though as touring in Canada in December, January or February is even crazier than demolishing stuff without safety glasses on. Some of us learn these lessons the hard way unfortunately.
