Can you believe that it’s already October? Where did the time go? I can admittedly say that time was not wasted in Monk land. We are 10 months into 2011 and I guess it is OK to begin to reflect on the year.  Maybe it’s a good thing because there are two months left to pick up those resolutions and eating more candy should be on your list.  Time is of the essence and the masked man and I have been looking back on this year and are extremely grateful for the paths and journeys that our music has led us.

As the Summer came, we made plans to move out West for a bit to try out the scene there and take in San Francisco and the surrounding areas.  Then August came and turned our lives upside down but in a very good way.  I am now spending my days teaching middle and high school students the art of orchestra on a daily basis, a dream come true.  The position came unexpectedly but I’m excited for my new adventure.  So Miles is seeking his adventure as well and that means exploring the West Coast. Even though the “miles” will separate our music for the time being, it motivates us to use our transition and change in a very meaningful way.  Our Winter will be spent writing music in anticipation for our next album and Spring 2012 Tour.

If you haven’t seen us in awhile, October 7th will be your last opportunity to see yours truly before we go into hibernation/songwriting mode.  Its probably a good idea to get your Monk fix.  Your Winter will be better for it.

Please join us at The Subterranean on October 7th in celebration for Miles’ move out West and our lovely friend’s North Pilot new release!  Plus, you can pick up our latest vinyl release, its never to early to start thinking about holiday gifts, or, pick up one for yourself, you deserve some love.
