Endless thanks to everyone who made this album possible.

Greetings from TCLHQ (thats The Canon Logic Headquarters). We have some exciting news, hot off the press, fresh for the eyes, ears, and fingers of all you Twitterin’ fools out there.

We’re done recording our album. Yes, I know that you think I am lying. And that we’ve been saying we’re close for so long now. But it’s true: we’re finally done.

Yup, we finished tracking all instruments, vocals, and random noises last weekend, and we’re ready to celebrate. And what better way to celebrate than to play a gigantic, blowout show at a venue several of us have been hoping to play at for the better part of our lives? So here it is:

Thursday, August 13th, 2009 at sometime in the evening, we’ll be sharing the stage with our good friends Lights Resolve at the Bowery Ballroom. We’ll be playing classic TCL hits and new cuts from our upcoming album. We’d love it if you could come.

You can get tickets directly from us, right now, right here on this very website. They’re $13. We’ll mail them to you directly, or if you live close enough to one of us, we’ll deliver them personally. And we’ll throw in a TCL sticker for every ticket you purchase.

What’s that you say? You’re under 21 and can’t get into a place like the Bowery? Have no fear. The show is for persons of age 16 and older! We don’t know exactly what time we go on yet, but it will probably be around 8pm or 9pm. We will keep you posted. Get ‘yer tickets here:

Hope to see you all there!!

PS - If you want to see us sooner than that, you can also come check us out at Rebel, this Thursday, July 9th at 8pm. Should also be a very fun show.

Head over to our myspace page to hear a preview of the song “Avenue of Criminals” from our forthcoming album, due out later this year.

w/ NIGHTMARE OF YOU, PLUSHGUN, FREEZEPOP AND MORE…

Hey everyone.  If you’re on our mailing list, by now you’ve probably received word of our upcoming show on Apr. 10th at Maxwell’s  with Nightmare of You and Plushgun.  But thats not all we have lined up this spring!  Following that we’ll make a quick homecoming trip to Philly where we’ll join Plushgun once more in support of Freezepop on stage at the North Star Bar, on Apr. 18th.  Then its back to the LES for a show at one of our favorite NYC venues Pianos, on May 2nd.  Aaaaand as if that isn’t enough we’ll be returning to Southpaw, May 28th with Ann Courtney & The Late Bloomers.  We’ll be debuting new material across all of these shows in support of our upcoming album - we know its been a while, but its coming soon - so come out and get a taste!  

If you’re not on our mailing list yet, head here where you can register and pick up a ton of music free.  And stay tuned for news on shows over the summer.

Somewhere in between recording our new album and adjusting our Fantasy Football rosters, we squeaked out a little thing called Pas De Deux - a collection of unreleased songs that we want you all to hear, but won’t be on the album. We figured…what better way to keep you all occupied until our release party?

So we took Pas De Deux and packaged it up with our critically acclaimed EP, The White Balloon (check out our band page for some of the critics’ quotes) and put it up on our website for you all to download, for free. Just goto this page, and its all yours. Nine songs in total, topping out at somewhere around 30 or 40 minutes.

Send the link to all your friends!

Enjoy.

We took a few steps closer to the end of the tunnel this weekend as we laid down some tracks for the upcoming album. Mark and Josh knocked out some gritty licks, and the sounds they’re getting are sure to astound. Sean and I recorded some rhythm tracks, and by the end of the weekend we were able to finish the instrumentation on our first 4 songs.

Excited? We are.

Our good friend Dick Silver stopped in on Sunday, and took some footage of us playing beer-bottle-guitar, rockin’ the tambo, and lounging in the studio (keep a lookout for youtube footage). All in all, things are progressing smoothly, and we are looking forward to CMJ this week. Don’t forget to check us out at our CMJ showcase (Arlene’s Grocery; 7 PM).

More to come…

Thanks to the fancy technology built into this blog, we’re noticing a lot of people are ending up here after googling things like “the canon logic song mtv2 commercial”.

Incase you’re one of these people, the songs from the commercials we’ve seen so far are entitled Delia and Avenue of Criminals. You can hear both of those songs on our myspace page right now. You can buy Delia from iTunes here by clicking here. The version of Avenue of Criminals on our myspace page is a live, acoustic version of the song, and is slightly different than the one we played on the commercial.

Unfortunately, a studio recording of Avenue of Criminals doesn’t exist yet. However, this past weekend, we laid down the basic tracks of the song at our studio out on Long Island. It will be featured on our forthcoming full length album, due out within the next few months.

Surprisingly, you will not be able to catch us ripping through a set in the LES this weekend. (You can, however, get a quick glimpse of one we played last weekend at Sullivan Hall over at BrooklynRocks.)

Instead, we’ll be holed up in that studio we keep out on Long Island (we haven’t officially named it yet) laying down basic tracks for our currently untitled, forthcoming LP. We won’t tell you which tracks yet (we would never want to spoil the surprise), but we can promise you that you will not be disappointed.

So Tim, Ron (Ron being Ron Robinson Jr., our producer and dear friend) and I will hop in the Astrovan and head out there right after work (The other guys will be arriving via train the next morning). We plan to be there by 9pm-ish, which will give us ample time to set the room up to be able to record bass and drums first thing tomorrow morning. Once we begin tracking, we’ll play straight through till Sunday, only taking breaks to eat, play a round of Manhunt, and watch Tina Fey’s weekly impersonation of Sarah Palin on SNL. After that, we’ll all go our seperate ways to watch our respective NFL teams. Tim and Josh are big Eagles fans. Mark and Sean are Giants fans. I’m a Jets fan. Not sure who Ron roots for.

Stay glued to thecanonlogic.com all weekend to get mobile updates from the studio. We want to share this experience with all of you as much as possible.

What are you up to this weekend? Let us know!
