We are excited to announce the release of our latest single, Blast Off! 

The song came about as an idea that Rich had for our last weekend recording session. Essentially the idea was that each of us would come into the weekend with a song idea or fragment, and that we would collectively work on them, with the goal of having three fully written and recorded tunes by the end of the weekend.

Blast Off! is the first of those three songs to be released. (The others, Ghost Dance and Red Lights are in the process of being mixed and we hope to release those soon.)

Blast Off! began with a bass and drum recording that Steve had prepared for the band, to give us a little bit of a head start into the weekend. Rich quickly came up with his guitar tracks, and Pete composed the verses on the spot.  We didn't have a title yet, and overnight on Friday night Steve kept hearing the phase “Blast Off” in his mind when he should have been sleeping.  Upon announcing this to the other guys on Saturday morning, the tune was completed with the “Blast Off” shout, and the great vocals provided by the Daughters of Zen (Abby and Anna Marcil, Sylvia Preston, and Aly Davis). A bit later, the final Daughter of Zen (Rebecca Davis) came to town and overdubbed her voice on the other DOZ, and the recording was complete!

We hope you enjoy!
