2009/2010 posted on December.31.2009.

Hey all,

It's been an awesome year for The Static Age. The highlights? Recording/releasing "i/o" and making our first trek to Europe. And as the year comes to a close, we thought it time to post a little update about what we've been up to since we came off tour in September.

First up, Adam has been hard at work on his sideproject, Folk Heroes. Given Adam's penchants for all things Brian Baker, expect some melodic hardcore in the vein of Dag Nasty/Minor Threat/etc. If you're in the frosty northeast, they're playing their first show tonight:

Dec 31st. 2009
The Monkey House
Winooski, Vermont
w/Cannon Fodder, Torpedo Rodeo, +others

Beg Adam for a copy of the upcoming demo here: folkheroesvt@gmail.com

For my part, I've relocated from Brooklyn out to Chicago. Why? Because I like my wind chills subzero.

Out there, I'm busy recording a sideproject album in the vein of some of the songs on "i/o". Preproduction is done, and the album is shaping up to be 11 songs. I'm halfway through recording the instrumentation -- taking breaks only to listen to Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love" and Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak." Expect more on that come Spring.

I'm also practicing with some new people out in the frosty mid-north on some songs I've been kicking around for the past couple years. So far, we've been psyched. If the joy continues, we may play a show or three in the new year.

Oh, and Dave has been on the beach in Florida. Lucky bastard.

until next year,
Andrew / The Static Age

You can now download "i/o" for free (...or donation). Get the album -- and supplemental demos, outtakes, and more -- here:

Download "i/o" now

For the Apple lover in you, the record will also hit iTunes this week.

In other news, the album continues to get great press across the pond. But we're mostly taking Felix's word for it, cause we have no idea what things like this actually say:

Speak German? Read this.

How about French? (Interview...translated from Andrew's native tongue)

Lastly, a remix of "Daughters and Sons" will be posted next month.

Show Cancellations posted on September.06.2009.

Due to a medical emergency, we regretfully have to cancel the last chunk of shows on our European run.

We've had an absolute blast this past two weeks through Germany, Holland, the UK, and we ending up last night in France (Lille might be one of our favorite cities ever). Many thanks to Felix, Meli, Big Daniel, Little Daniel, and Christian for traveling with us and making things work during the tour.

We will be missing the remaining week of dates. Our tourmates, Clap Your Hands Twice, will continue playing some of the shows in Germany. Check myspace.com/clapyourhandstwice for updates on their schedule.

We'll be posting photos and videos when we get home and shake off the jetlag. And here's to seeing you again soon, EU.
