So far we have held one round of auditions and are in the process of scheduling round 2. If you haven't downloaded Stelliferous yet...what the heck are ya waiting for?    Actually, some people have told me that they are waiting for physical CDs.  That's fine but it may be a while.  There's some serious overhead involved with producing CDs and since we aren't playing out at the moment we have to weigh the cost versus the return. We are looking into the possibility of download cards or something similar to that, which are much cheaper to produce.  We're just not sure how we would distribute them yet.  We are also looking at getting some T-Shirts made...probably using a print-on-demand service like Zazzle. So there you have it.  We are still here.  We are still at it and we are hoping to be able to bring some live DM3 to our fans and supporters some time in the near future. See you soon!  Thanks!

We just wanted to take a moment to let you know that we have had to push out the release date of our first album (Stelliferous) to June 7.

It's been a while so I thought I would take some time and catch you up on the latest news.  We are slowly moving forward on completing our first CD.  We decided to go back and completely re-record what we feel will be one of our signature songs...The Coldest Tide.  This song will also be the heaviest track on the CD.  I began working on this song around 1990-1991 and I finally feel like we've achieved the sound and arrangement I had always envisioned for it.  We did Chris's drum tracks last week and Drew and I just finished recording the bass tracks last night.  Now I just need to re-record the guitar.

We also added another song to the track list...Clyde's Advice.  The song was written by Drew.  This track has a very distinct funky groove and is bass and drums only.

Tuesday, January 4, 2011 we will be playing live for the first time since July 17.  The show takes place in the Cathedral Room of Der Maennerchor on North Street in Harrisburg.  Our start time is around 7:30.  Please come out and support us if you can.  This is a really cool venue and we will be breaking out a lot of new material that night.  Check out our Calendar for more details.

That's all I have for now...I promise to check in soon with more details and updates on the monster that is our first CD!  As always, thanks for your interest and support!
