Hey friends...you may have noticed that things have been a bit...um...static for a while here at Parallax HQ. Well, we had a big server crash, and being musicians, it took us a while to crawl back from it. Actually, it happened while Michael was on tour in Europe with Adam Kowalczyk, and since he does pretty much everything around here, that's the story there. We're back, and getting cranked up for the next big creative push. We're heading into the studio in July to record the 3rd Parallax Project album, and here's the BIG news...it's going to be produced by DON DIXON!! Now, you music geeks in the crowd know exactly who that is, but for those of you who are a tad less obsessive, Don is a somewhat legendary figure in the history of American indie rock, having produced (among countless other things) the first two (and most important) R.E.M. albums, as well as the first two Smithereens albums. We are BEYOND excited, and if you can believe it, we have lots of other cool surprises lining up for the album. We can't wait to get started.

We're also continuing to plug away at the covers album, and there will probably be a special "buy one get one free" deal when the new album comes out.

In other release news, the few tracks that we contributed to recent compilations are all now available, and they are defintiely worth checking out:

Cinnamon Girl - Women artists pay tribute to Neil Young. We do "Ohio" with Darcie Miner. It's a tremendous album with great artists, and it benefits Breast Cancer research.

About A Girl - All songs with girls' names in the title. We did the Faces' "Cindy Incidentally", but it's on the special bonus disc. Again, this one benefits Breast Cancer research.

Michael also had the distinct honor of being the person who recorded the first new Plimsouls track in 15 years, and it's now available as part of the Greg Shaw/Bomp Records tribute. You should definitely check this one out, because it smokes!!

That's enough catching up for now. Stay tuned, and have a great summer!!

It's been a slow winter for us, but rest assured, we've been busy. We've got a lot of projects in the works, and we're anxious to share them with you.

First off, we've got a couple of appearances on upcoming compilation albums:

We contributed a version of The Faces' "Cindy Incidentally" to Face Down Records' "About a Girl", which is all songs with women's names in the title and chorus. Due June, 2007.

We also did a version of CSNY's "Ohio" for the American Laundromat project "Cinnamon Girl", which is women artists doing Neil Young songs. I know...we're not girls. But Darcie Miner is, and we backed her on this joint. Due Oct. 3rd, 2007.

Second off, we've got TWO new albums in the works. The first one is going to be the 3rd Parallax Project album of original songs, and the 2nd is going to be a download only album of cover songs. Look for both of those later this year.

Until then, we'll be playing sporadically, and maybe hitting the road a little this summer. Be sure to check the Shows page regularly, and as always, don't miss the Dewey Beach PopFest

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We've just about recuperated from The Plimsouls tour....just about. Man, what a fabulous time. I'd love to be able to say that words just can't describe the experience, but you know me...words can describe anything! I've written a tour diary which you can read on our journal page, and you can view all the steamy pictures on our photos page.

We've only got a couple of shows left for the year, and then we're going to hibernate for a while and work on writing songs for the next album. Keep warm, and have a really lovely holiday season!!

The summer has been a long one, which was good, and we got a LOT done. We played super fun shows (Freedom Fest, Roustabout!, Artsfest & Kipona!), we worked on some new recordings, and we made BIG Plans for the fall...

First up, we're going to be back at the fabulous and charmingly insane Dewey Beach Music Conference. This is the traditional end to our rock and roll summer, and this year's Saturday night show at the Bottle & Cork is by far the best bill of the entire festival. Check the shows page for details.

Ok, the BIG news is the THE PLIMSOULS TOUR!! We're going to be doing 5 dates in the Northeast in November with this legendary band. It's 3 of the 4 original members, and they still remain one of the best live bands EVER!! Michael is already climbing out of his skin. Check the shows page, but stay tuned for details.

The fine folks who threw the wonderful bash that we played at in Texas, The Industryof Music, have asked for your help in making their shindig a better beast. Please take a moment and fill out their quick and easy Online Survey. They'll let you download a lot of free music if you do!

Oh yeah...Back to the Beach, kids!! We play on Saturday, at 11:40. Michael will also be with Dan Kibler on Friday at 8:00. Vikki Walls' beach parties are so much fun, it should be illegal. Come to think of it, I can think of a few illegal things that have transpired in the past. Umm, never mind.....

Well, Texas was a blast...again. We saw some fabulous bands, met some idols, ate some chili (and fish tacos...yum!), and drank a lot of...stuff. I've written about it in our blog, and we've even got pictures.

Our next big field trip is hopefully going to be out west sometime this summer (July?), and we've got a lot of fun outdoor all-ages appearances planned for the summer, so stay tuned!!

We've also added our music to the PodSafe Music Network, so those of you who are budding podcasters, you can use our music royalty free!. Click the link to the right to find out more!

"The stars at night....." Texas, here we come again! We're heading back down to Austin for the SXSW music festival again this year. Last year was an insane amount of fun, and we have every reason to believe this year will also. More info to come, but you can learn it all as we do by going here.

We're also pretty busy on the road. we've got lots of dates of our own, we've recently been backing our rock star pal Jeffrey Gaines, and Michael and Paul are heading out for a short mini-US tour with Adam Kowalczyk. Check the Shows page for the latest.

Well, the new album, Perpetual Limbo, is finally available!! It's not "offically" released yet, but you can purchase it online from our label, Tallboy Records, or from select online retailers. It will be in the traditional stores after the first of the year. Visit the Music page to learn more.

Dewey Beach Music Conference was a blast, as usual. Check the Photos page to see all the shenanigans from the weekend.
Michael & Paul have been working with Adam Kowalczyk, from the band LIVE (yeah....THAT LIVE). Adam has just finished recording an album, and Michael & Paul are the rhythm section. They have also been performing live (ha) with him, so check the schedule for dates.

In other extra-curricular news, Matt Thomas can be seen and heard on Jeffrey Gaines' latest album, a live CD and DVD, recorded at the TLA in Philadelphia.

Michael, Paul & Matt are also the featured rhythm section on the new EP by the fabulously talented and glamorous Darcie Miner.  We’re big Darcie fans…so much so that that we asked her to sing on OUR new record.  Wait till you hear it…it’s gorgeous….
Oblivious, the debut album from Parallax Project is now available only on iTunes. The album features 13 songs and boasts appearances from members of Cherry Twister, The Kennedys, The Neighborhoods, and Lisa Loeb's Nine Stories. Visit the Music page for more information.
