So, about three years ago... or maybe it was four?... I was in this screamo band called Our Last Days as Children (a band that came from the ashes of After School Knife Fight). They were looking for a keyboard player, and my boyfriend at the time was playing guitar for them. So, having seven years of piano experience, I offered to play. Its funny how after four years of not playing piano can ruin your skills. Anyway, I wasn't the most fantastic keyboard player, but we had fun. I hated screamo. The only band I listened to even close to being screamo was The Blood Brothers.
One thing led to another, and we ended up recording some tracks for this label that wanted to put us on a split with this band called Eyes of Verotika. Right before the final mixes were made, tragedy struck. I was at work when Jacen Beers came to tell me that our engineer had died of a heart attack the night previous. (RIP).
Ultimately, we ended up with our CD but only three tracks. So they were, with some money, sent off to be pressed. Some dickwad on the American label we were supposed to be released on ran off with our money, and the split never got released.
About a year later, another label offered to press us on a split with the band Angry Neighbors. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, that didn't end up happening either.
Sigh.
But today, I finally got an actual image of our split 7" with an awesome industrial band from Vancouver called Droom (formerly of aLUnARED). So three/four years later, we're finally being released. Hilarious.
Our website is actually still up, too. You can find a few mp3s there, I think in the media section.

Our 7" look so budget, it rules:
