"The Last Summer" is here!

Swimmers!

Tomorrow night at 7:09 PM EDT, Summer begins. What better time to release Lifeguard Nights' latest and greatest album, THE LAST SUMMER.

Except instead of tomorrow night at 7:09 PM EDT, we're releasing it NOW. This album's been a couple years in the making and features contributions from some of my very best and most talented pals. It's a full-band album in the tradition of "The Church of Song" and "Punch Sky" in that we took songs that I had already recorded solo and went into Retromedia Studios to record the drums/bass/guitar/vocals live, then overdubbed the rest at my place. This is the last time we're going to be following that M.O., hence the name. We'll still be recording albums of course, but we'll be doing all new stuff and we'll be recording it all at our lovely new home studio.

Here's the link:



I hope you dig it like a moat around a sandcastle. Enjoy the summer, and safe swimming,

Desmonds Thanks/Pics/Setlist!

Swimmers!

Thanks to everyone who came out to Desmonds a couple weeks ago for the SJSLCB reunion show! It was great playing those old songs with most of the old band (thanks Jay Sorce for sitting in on a few!) at our old stomping grounds to some old and some new friends. Hopefully we'll be doing these reunion shows a little more frequently than once every two years from now on. I only have a couple pics from the show at the moment but I hear there are plenty more gems out there, if anyone has some and could send them to me that'd be super, thanks! Here's the setlist (we had to skip a few cause we were running out of time):

swim children
sideways smile
bank account
serenity now
sandbox
paradise
disaster area --skipped
where roses lie
dark side of the pool -- skipped
