Drift Effect Showcasing in Chicago this Monday!

Yep, Monday night in Chi-town. The windy city. Home of the beloved White Sox. 

Drip-drip goes the sarcasm! About the Sox...Chicago is actually pretty sweet...as we've found.

KMA Management has been kind enough to look our way and they've invited us down to play at the Elbo Room downtown Chicago Monday, October 5. 

So, all you Chicagoans(?), come out and support us! We're gonna be showing off some of the new stuff we've been toying with in a killer room! See you there!

Tracking Photos

Head over to the Drift Effect Network or our Flickr page to see some photos of our work tonight tracking guitars.

Tracking Guitars Tonight...

We're shutting ourselves in tonight to track guitar parts over what we laid down over Labor Day weekend. 

Follow @DriftEffect on Twitter for photos and updates on our progress!

DE on Flickr!

We thought to ourselves, who doesn't have a smartphone? Or digital camera that they bring EVERYWHERE? We joined Flickr so we can give you visually stimulating, artistic and emotionally traumatic pictures from shows and other happenings, like Marc surfing on the van, or Adam doing sweet ninja moves while Nate settles into the lock-solid defensive Turtle position.

If you're already on Flickr - find yourself at a show taking pictures of us doing such shenanigans (or playing on stage, yeah, we do that too), tag us, add us as a contact/friend, all that cool stuff. We'll be doing the same!

Check it out!

Obama Rally in Minneapolis!

Ben, Marc and Van were at the rally today for President Obama at the Target Center. Click here to see Ben's Facebook updates, photos and videos of the event!

Pre-Pro Wrap

We're back to civilization with 5 tunes roughly tracked. We worked "Plain", "Lotus", "Amethyst", "PMS" (don't have a name yet, and PMS is easier to say than Purple Marshmallow Surprise) and "Manic".

We're gonna keep workin' and get them to you ASAP!

Pre-Pro Update 1

One song down!

We have "Plain" to a satisfying point. It's roughly laid down so into the ProTools notebook it goes!

Pre-Production This Weekend!!

We are entirely amped to get this going! We'll be doing some pre-production work on some new material. Yep, that's our idea of fun over Labor Day!

As always, follow @DriftEffect for updates from us while we're working. Or head over to our Ning network and join the forum discussion we started...seriously, kind of likin' this Ning deal. You can become a member and talk about whatever you want...the Minneapolis scene, new music you're into, shows you're hittin' up. All that good stuff. 

NEW MUSIC, STOKED!!!!

Ning.com

We're playin' around with Ning.com. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Apparently, it's a site that let's users be interactive with pages they like. Post your own blogs about DE. Add your own photos and videos of/about/regarding DE and stuff. We thought it was a cool idea.
