stream it for free. buy it for $5. pay more than $5 if you really wanna help the cause i hope you dig it.

thanks as always, martin and andrew, and the people of this UK forum, for showing the support and having the patience with my non-Knick talk self-promotion!

Sweet. Will give a listen later. For purchase, is it download only or do you have an official cd also?

Thanks Solace. Right now that link will let you purchase a download. We have physical CD's but they're only available at shows. We'll have em up online eventually. Appreciate you checking it out.

Listening to it now. The female lead has a wonderful voice. Debating whether to wait until I can make it over to one of your shows to get a physical cd. :)

Hey Evil I wish you the best with your new CD. I know that you will make it big. Maybe one day we will both be going to the grammys and win one. Maybe Nixluva also but he is very secretive on what kind of musis he does. Maybe I might know who he is. LOL

Awesome! Congrats. Let's see, stream it free, or pay $5.... Stream it free, or pay $5....

thanks Solace! we should eventually have physical CD's availabe through the site. they will cost more than a pure download because of shipping and packaging. however, we're going to generate discount codes for those who ordered the downloads before physical CD's were available. not sure how much it will cost, but i think, if you bought a download, the physical CD would cost $2-$3 more plus shipping. and so a physical CD would cost $7 or $8 either way -- and if you wait to order a physical CD, we'll make the download available for free when you order. this is all too much for us artist-types. but so goes the life of an artist in this Do-It-Yourself world...

i would love that!!

i know so many musicians who love basketball. it's truly a musical sport. it's all about rhythm and improvisation, collaboration and unity. i guess i shouldn't be so surprised that we have a healthy crew of artists and big-time music heads on this forum. come on Nix, reveal yourself!! haha!!

hahaha!! i know you're a jokester, but i'm gonna hit you with a straight response:

whatever you choose to do, stream or buy, we hope you enjoy it. we realize that there will be people who are satisfied to listen to the compressed audio on their laptop speakers. we're just happy that they're listening.

we hope that people who have the income to contribute, kick us some money. and that's not for me to judge. some people just don't see music as something they have the money to spend on anymore. that's just the times we're living in now.

all i can say is that we made our choice to come out of pocket to make this music. we do it because we love it. no one owes us anything. however, if people do really like it, if it brings them enjoyment, and they can afford $5 (or more) -- we hope they kick in because there will be only so much longer we can continue to make high quality recorded music available for people. i know i'll never stop playing, but if i find myself unable to continue paying for these records, we'll probably just keep it to ourselves, or resort to strictly live performances. we're not trying to get rich. we're just trying to break even.

our CD is the opposite of Eddy Curry. you can pay for it in full and know exactly what you are getting. it's not gonna get fat on you and cost you draft picks. what you hear is what you get. haha...

sorry. i know you were just kidding.

and in case you were wondering, we back it up live. here are two cuts from the CD recorded at our recent CD release party:

we're back in NYC this weekend (saturday 7/2, 10:30pm @ the Delancey)

ok. enough of me for now. thank you for listening.
