25 April 2009 | Hi All.
Sorry for the long wait for an update but there hasn't been much to update in the last few months unfortunately. I had surgery 6 weeks ago and am still a while away before I can play guitar any longer than 15 - 20 minutes at a time. Its getting VERY frustrating as you could imagine.

On the plus side we have been working/creating electronically from time to time on ideas that seem to be developing so we'll have a platform to start from when things get better on the wrist front. Maurice is still working on his solo project Desbot and Jason has been busy playing drums for Tiki Tane and co. Hopefully we'll have a more positive update for you soon!
Cheers
Jeff

14 December 2008 | Kiaora all.
Plans of recording the new album have been shelved for now due to Jeff needing some surgery on his arm/wrist. He has been unable to play guitar for the last 3 months, but has been booked in for surgery in mid February. There are a few possible outcomes, and there is a possibility that he will be out after that for another 2 months or, in the worst case scenario, 12 months. Here's hoping it will be the former. We'll keep you updated.
Meanwhile, Maurice is planning to record some of the material from his solo noise/experimental project Desbot. So keep an eye out for more details.

jeffrey schneider	Jun 16 2009 1:04 AM ive been wading through the cerebral post-rock wasteland; great bands here are really hard to come by, too many are easily forgettable... the world needs jakob! you do it right, you do with merit and direction sans filler. Solace will be buried with me. Youve got a devoted follower in NY.
