Posted by Michael on Monday 23rd January, 2006Ambulette, the band formerly known as Bella Lea and featuring ex-members of Denali, announced via their Myspace that Astralwerks will be releasing their debut EP. Here is an excerpt from the post:
we finally have a bit of e.p.-related news to spread around to all of you excitable blog-readers and band-moms-and-dads... the e.p.'s actually gonna come out. as in, available-to-everybody, for-sale-at-the-record-shop, sell-'em-at-shows come out. we are ecstatic to let you know that come march 21st, ambulette's debut c.d. - e.p. will be out on astralwerks records and tapes...
we'll post more details when we get them, but we can tell you for sure about the things that've already happened: we recorded the five songs last spring, right before the good life/consafos tour, in chicago with our friend chris shepard (elvis costello, wilco, smashing pumpkins, kmfdm... totally pro). maura's brother (and our strike-breaking bassist) keeley did the artwork, maura's friend susan took the cover photo, and our man in arizona named austin took the band photos (which you've maybe seen here on myspace). maybe four originals and maybe a cover, or maybe not.
