Website, Music, & New Studio? Update
OK, so it’s been a little while since we’ve given an update on our progress, though sometimes I feel it’s better to say nothing, than blab about nothing. So, with that in mind, here is just a “quicky” update from us on a few things we’re working on, and what you can expect from us in the coming months.
Point #1:
- Over the course of the summer, we’ve had some big goals, and in spite of the many obsiticles we were facing, we managed to hit a lot of those goals. The biggest one of course being our new homepage! If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can see it at lifestagemusic.com, and though it’s not a $10,000 website, we’re pretty proud of it, and we’re working on more updates and changes that will make it even better, as we speak. So look for those little additions to the new website over the course of the next month or two.
Point #2:
- As you know, we have been on the course of writing a complete new album for most of the year now, and I’d say we’ve been especially fervent in our writing since about May or so. Well, again, in spite of the challenge of not being able to get together much at all for most of the summer (mid June – mid Aug), we’ve fared quite well, and as of the last time Andy was in town (before he began his semester at UT in Austin), we have appoximately 8 or 9 full blown songs, ready for the early stages of the studio process! We’re super excited about these songs, and we even have a handful more to hash out before we actually are ready for the studio, but expect that to happen in the next few months. And this brings me to my next point..
Point#3:
- Inside my dad’s garage resides the home, practice space, and current headquarters of Life Stage. Needless to say, this practice space has been very, very good to us, and we’ve spent countless hours there, writing, rehearsing, and just plain goofing off. Well, after many, many years of this room only existing as an air-conditioned haven for loud noise, my dad has finally (FINALLY) decided to bite the bullet, and turn it into an all out, fully functioning recording studio! I know, awesome right? Well, it is if you’re me (or us really), because it’s something I’ve been begging him to do since I was 15, and now, with it finally coming to life just at the right moment in time (this project is already underway, set to be done in the next month or so), this MAY mean an almost zero budget for the recording of our next album! That’s a musician’s dream right there, and hopefully, it’ll work out just the way I’m hoping it will.
We shall see, but in the meantime, we have plenty of music to keep us busy, plenty to do in terms of getting ready for the studio (if we’re recording it ourselves, we had better know what the hell we’re doing! 
), and plenty on all of our minds, as we’re already looking to make 2011 the best year yet for Life Stage. Keep an eye out for more updates as we move forward; we’ll be keeping you posted every step of the way!
Take this chance to sign up for our mailing list if you haven’t done so already, and leave us your comments here, or on our Facebook page, we’d love to hear your feedback.
Until Nextime,

New Website On The Way!
Well, we’re back, and we know it’s been a while, and we have a LOT to catch up on as it’s been quite a long summer thusfar, but today we’re here not to catch up but to simply let you in on something super exciting to us, and that is our new website! This thing has been in development nearly all summer (working on it in the gaps of life), and now it’s finally here, and will be officially launched tonight at 7pm, and we couldn’t be happier.
We’ve had lots of help from our good friend, artist, and fellow musician, Josh Taylor from the band Clairmont (check out their stuff here) with the design and implementation of the site, and have spent a considerable amount of time making sure everything is just as we want it; so when we finally do launch this thing later today, what you’ll see is the culmination of a couple of months of thought and hard work!
Now having said that, we by no means think the site is perfect! Every site has it’s flaws and glitches, and we’ll be working to remove/fix as many of those as possible over the coming weeks and months. If you find any, please let us know. Also, there are many ideas and features that we are wanting to include in the site, but just simply haven’t had the time or money thusfar to implement them. We’ll be developing and updating the site with these features as soon as the opportunities open up to do so; again, if you have any ideas of your own, be sure to let us know!
Finally, we’ll no longer be forwarding our homepage to this website (our blog), so be sure to bookmark it (http://lifestagemusic.com/blog), or subscribe to the rss feed (http://lifestagemusic.com/blog/feed) to stay on top of our news and info as we continue to post them here! Also, be sure and sign up for our newsletter (http://lifestage.fanbridge.com), as you’ll be the absolute first to know about everything going on in the world of Life Stage, including new music, concerts, and website announcements.
We are seriously excited about finally having an official homepage, and we hope you’ll join us for the launch of it later today! Look for the announcement on all of our social networks and our fanlist, and bookmark the page: http://lifestagemusic.com.
See ya then!
