Some of you may know that I've been working on a Christmas music project called "
Herod the Fink" with someone who has been steadily becoming a great friend of mine -
Jesse Crowley.
This started September of 2009, when he called me up and asked me if I wanted to work on a few Christmas songs he had been cooking up, and I accepted. We released our
first album after only 3 months of working on it. It was insane. The first album was a great stepping stool to what has become an amazing experience.
Since January of this year, Jesse and I have been getting together once per month to work on Herod the Fink's 2nd album, "Return of Herod the Fink".
I've gotta tell ya, I had my doubts when we made the deal. I didn't think anyone could come up with Christmas songs in January, only weeks after we had just finished Christmas.
Boy, was I wrong.
Jesse came up with what has been, and what is sure to be our first single, "
Back to 337". I'm not entirely sure what happened with that song, but using the now, sadly defunct, website, garageband.com, out of 30 random world-wide people who listened to the song, it had a high-rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars. We got up to 3,000th place (doesn't seem like much but this was out of 20,000+ songs), and then garageband.com went down. Bottom line is - this song is amazing...
...and Jesse has written many, many more.
Anyway... We now have a
website where you can
buy our first album, listen to some of
our tunes, watch some
videos, and
learn a bit about what
the band is all about.
We've had a blast, and I can't wait to get this music out there. It's been with me all year long, and I've been loving it.
