LA in KDHX's local artist spotlight

Exciting news! LEFT ARM will be the artist featured on the "Local Artist Spotlight" on 88.1 FM KDHX in St. Louis. The spots will run twice/day for the two weeks between Oct. 29 and Nov. 11. I went in to record the interview portion of the segment last night. Here's to hoping I don't make myself or the band come of like total dorks! Big ups to Matt Brinkmann for everything.

Also, the CD is in production as we speak...er, write...er, read. So, they'll be here and ready for the CD release party November 10th at the Stagger Inn. Yay!

See ya Halloween night for a night of GORE!!!

We've been blown

News bits!

A.) We had an amazing show and an amazing time at the first ever Show-Me Blowout fest at Off Broadway. Thanks to everyone for coming out and dancin yer asses off and to Kopper and Bill Streeter for putting on an excellent weekend.

B.) Our new CD, "Dissatisoul" (cover shown above) is off being mastered and it sounds killer! 12 tracks of hot fuzz. It is my/our aim to have that baby back in our hands (and then in your hands) for the November 10th show at The Stagger Inn. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

C.) Now we look forward to an amazing show Halloween night with the lovely and talented, Gore Gore Girls.
