Somewhere between the cracks of paralyzing ice storms, government upheavals and inexcusable Presidential interviews during Super Bowl coverage (c'mon man!) lives a band from Columbus, Ohio called Ghost Shirt. And this is what's going on with said band...

It appears as though 'Daniel' will be released on vinyl in time for our end-of-March tour (more on that in a second). As we speak Jon Chinn is mastering the album for vinyl release and Ryan Besch--the person responsible for the 'Domestique' artwork--has started work on the album art. I'm not sure I can adequately express how lucky we are to have Mr. Besch and Mr. Chinn work on not only one, but two of our albums. They truly are masters and we owe them big time for taking the time from their more important work to lend their talents to our "little" project.

We are also in the process of getting t-shirts made and as such we hope to have them in time for our March tour (more on that in a second). So for those of you who have been asking, your time has come. Unfortunately, we will not be printing the "36 is the new 52" t-shirt though I'm still mad a Branden for voting that down.

As for the singles project of 2010...we will be releasing all of the singles--newly remastered--and will be offering them up on our bandcamp page in what I believe to be two volumes. So for those of you who missed some of the singles, most of the singles or all of the singles, this will be your chance to get them and enjoy them. We will also include a few songs that were never released. My guess is that they will be available in a month or so. Branden is busy remixing all the songs now since some were mixed and released with little time to sit and fine tune the things that needed finely tuned.

Tour 2011. We will be embarking on a ten day run through New York and the south starting March 25th in Buffalo. So far we have Buffalo, Jamestown, and NYC booked with more to come. For those of you who have been asked to help, thank you so much for lending your time to help us book these dates. Much like everything we do, we would accomplish far less without the support of those who like not only our music but indie-type music in general. After the tour, look for Branden to be playing a ton of solo shows across the country with the band joining him when we can. We will be posting all our upcoming shows, including tour dates, solo shows and such very shortly. You can either check here or on our Facebook page.

Rumors:

I have heard a rumor that Ghost Shirt will be performing a last-time-ever front to back performance of 'Daniel' in Buffalo. It hasn't been confirmed yet but that's what my sources tell me.

Merf may or may not have fallen on his ass during the last ice storm. We are still efforting for the video evidence

It's been said that Ryan is on a personal mission to rid this world of all Yankee fans up to and including a Mr. Carver who apparently never tires of being wrong.

Branden has recently included in his writer for his solo shows what can only be called a heroic amount of Pistachio's to be placed on his guitar amp.

Sam giggled today.

Cheers all and may spring come faster than an 18 yr old boy touching a boob for the first time in the backseat of a steamed up Subaru.
