We now have a STORE. With things! You can buy them!
As a thank you to the first people who buy sohbet – enter “earlyadopter” (no quotes) as the discount code when you check out for $3 off the usual $8 price! Physical CD copies are coming soon as is iTunes and CD Baby and Amazon and all that stuff. But if you just can’t wait, or like your stuff DRM-free – the mp3 version is in the store RIGHT NOW.
It has been a while. My only excuse is “working on the record.” That being said, I can now reveal a few details here and there about the record.
First – a HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks and sloppy wet kiss goes out to everyone who has helped and played on the record. The list of players/singers has been like this:
Drums: Charlie Korch, Nathan Weaver and Chris Blackwell.
Vocals: Alexis LaSalle, Heather Luttrell, Calli Southern and Alex Winfield.
Additional Instruments: Rasheeda Ali (flute), Alex Winfield (piano)
Engineering: Chris Blackwell, Shaun Foti.
Now to the stuff you’re wanting to hear – in other words – WHEN?!??!? We have set a HARD date to start mixing of Dec 11th. All that remains is finishing up a few vocal tracks and recording is DONE. Mixing should take about a week, so I am hope-hope-hoping to have it available for digital download by Christmas. Hard copy cds available shortly after the first of the year.
I am INCREDIBLY proud of what we have done so far, and will be looking forward to hearing whether or not you all enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed making it.
The wonderful Eliana Benegas at MBC Radio Online in Argentina was kind enough to play ‘Could Not Keep’ on her show! She will be playing it again on Thursday, June 30th! This is a new studio recording which we will have available for download soon and features guest vocals by the amazing Jessica Cayne.
Be sure to tune in to hear us on Eli’s show on Thursday night at 9 pm Eastern!

So we had 3 rehearsals as a full band. It’s raw, rough around the edges and a crapload of fun. Aside from mastering by Chris Blackwell to get the levels up and editing out some overly long chatter between songs – this is the unedited Reedbed, with Special Guest Shaun Foti.
This was recorded at the Masquerade in Atlanta, GA. We were the first band of three, with the other two being Streak-ed Head out of Carrollton, GA and Jo Henley out of Boston. Was a great show for everyone and we are honored to have been a part of it. Thanks for coming out if you were there!
Get all the info (and the tunes!) direct from our own bootleg master “The Ghost of Al Capone” right over here.
Now that you know what you’re missing – come to the next show!
Man! – now THAT was the way to kick things off. Thanks to everyone who came out to the Masquerade last night to catch our almost first show! Extra special thanks to Shaun Foti for stepping up to fill in and completely knocking it out of the park. Audio/pics/video coming very soon! Watch this space! Thanks to Amber Amick and the Masquerade for having us! Can’t wait to do it again! Yaaaaaaay!
Oh man! Show is TOMORROW. Getting pretty excited. Here’s hoping for a good turnout! Is it bad that I’m hoping for a rainy day? I’m not trying to spoil anyone’s Memorial Day weekend, but rain means y’all are less likely to be lounging outside late into the evening and more likely to come to the show! Come out! It’s gonna be fun!!
