Hi!

Hope everyone's good...we're rehearsing for Coachella, getting our "sea legs" back. It's fun to just rehearse again, instead of all the recording, meetings, writing, etc. It's so nice and easy for a change.

I hope some of you will come out to Coachella. We're really excited.

Album sounds great...just a couple of more little touch ups vocally and it's in the can. It's basically done, though. Mastering within a week, so I hear.

Other gigs and announcements coming, but I have to hold off because things are not QUITE firm. I'm trying to bite my tounge...

Did a nice photo shoot for the album two weeks ago. I forgot the photographer's name, I'll look it up and let you know. Kind of cool - simple, moody, natural looking.

Best,
Justin

Sweet. Can't wait. I think I heard another IMA Robot song on KXLU again, but I didn't recognize the song, but I'm pretty sure that was Alex's voice. I just remember a lyric similar to "don't you make a mother proud", or something. Forgive me if I'm wrong. Coachella sounds really tempting. Good Luck!

Neuwave, did the on-air person add any commentary about the track you heard? The only info we have about them on that station is that IMA Robot did a show in early 2002 over there and left some demos that they've been playing...

VERY excited to hear the details about upcoming gigs. Someone put Justin on the rack so he'll talk!

Great news Justin. I think that we are all jonesing for are Ima Robot fix at Coachella this weekend. Can't wait to see what you guys pulled out of the studio and will bring to the stage.

Neuwave, I don't think that was Ima Robot, but not sure.

KXLU music director is Mishelle Blade and she send around what they are playing via emai. This is what I received about a week ago.
