Mr. Fest is a Free Music Festival thrown by KTSW (student radio for Texas State) that will be held on the square in San Marcos, TX next Sat., May 2nd. Whitman will be playing between Built By Snow and Black Joe Lewis on the headlining stage ending an entire day of awesome bands. KTSW is not only an incredible radio station but have been a supporter of Whitman for years so please come out to the Fest and show both Whitman and KTSW your support (good radio is a depleted resource). This show will be worth the 30 mile drive from Austin plus you can go for a swim in the San Marcos River! More info here.

Last weekend we went into the studio to record some new material we had been working on.  Our intentions were to challenge ourselves by recording these tracks the ol’ fashioned way.  The result is five totally live tracks that we hope capture the energy of our live performances.   We planned on only using these as demos but after hearing them we’ve decided to share them with you.   If these tracks will ever see a proper release is yet to be determined.  Check out our myspace profile to hear the title track “Culdesac”. Please feel free to leave us comments telling us what you think and if you’re a vinyl head let us know if you’d be interested in purchasing this EP on vinyl.  More coming soon!

December 22, 2006 Greetings.  It's been awhile, especially for those of you outside the great state of Texas, but rest assured we've been hard at work.  Unfortunately, we haven't been able to tour since last Fall.  But what we have been doing is writing tons of songs. And now the time has come to record those songs and eventually release our first full-length album. Read more
