Purple Stuff - update

July 8th, 2008

Chris and I were working hard this weekend on our latest song for the Purple Stuff project. It remains untitled at the moment but we’ve managed to complete composing and recording all of the sections/parts. All that remains is a bit of mixing and BAM! another tune for all’a'ya’ll to digest. Both Chris and I are very excited about this tune and we hope that you are too.

Stay tuned…

Purple Stuff

July 2nd, 2008

Purple StuffChristopher Tordini and I have been working hard from our living rooms on a new project: PURPLE STUFF! That’s right, Purple Stuff.. the stuff that always got the shaft to Sunny D. So far we’ve completed one song, Relative, but we have a few more in the “mix” and they should be showing up soon.

If you’re on thesixtyone, show your support for Purple Stuff by bumping our track—show your support for “water, sugar, and of course… purple.”

It’s all new
