I was looking at our blog and I decided that we are terrible with updates. I love what Nick did with that give-away banner but I’m sick of looking at it. So I’m going to fill in our reader(s?) with the progress Nick and I have made in our few months together here in Portland!

Nick and I have had many practice/beer drinking sessions at his place toying with new musical ideas and discussing the direction we are heading. There are a number of fun little bits and pieces we have been tossing back and forth and we are feeling good about how our sound is developing. We couldn’t be more happy with how our recent change in location seems to be giving us killer inspiration. Look out cause these are going to be SO fun.

In addition to writing new material we’ve also been scoping out possible venues in P-Town. We have made some quick lists of some places to check out before we send out some music and info to try and land some gigs. We hope to have our first show in Portland very very very very very soon. (sooner than that sounds)

One last thing to hint at. Nick and I have been working on recording a fun cover to post on our site for your sweet little ears. Stay tuned in the next week or so to hear one of our favorite songs done AYIG Style!

UPDATE!
Do you want to DOWNLOAD the song? Or listen without the movie? Here it is:
I Miss Trey – Half You In Gray
We love you.

A brief update from the Trey-side of the country.

A new genre? We’ll see what we can do. (designed by Trey)

We posted a couple of YouTube videos of our songs, From Satellites! The first is my initial video of it, acoustic, and the second was Trey’s response! (with BGVs and another guitar part!)

Thanks for listening!

Ask You In Gray

This song is a cover of our GREAT friend, Richard Ingersoll. He wrote this song quite a while ago and we just LOVED it. We actually played it at our LAST show in Fort Collins with Richard and it was awesome! We miss him and this is just for him!

Meet Me In Montauk COVER (Originally by Richard Ingersoll)

If you LOVE good music, then you’ll love the “Jazz / Lounge / Melodramatic Popular Song” that he makes:

Sometimes we write music that is just ridiculous. We’ve decided that we are going to post a couple of our unheard tracks here on our AYIGBLOG so you can hear them! These aren’t available anywhere else… and thats the way we like it. Yeah! Thanks!

This song was a birthday song that I wrote for my lil’ baby cousin, Fynn for his 2nd birthday. Its really just Happy Birthday recorded to a high-energy dance beat and some fun synth instruments! Have a listen!

Fynn’s Birthday Song – By Nick Wichman

So we’ve been really getting into this new music site we recently discovered. TheSixtyOne.com. From what we’ve found out, this is an online RPG but instead of fighting monsters or fighting creatures (like Pokemon!) and all that stuff, you listen to some really good music. Most of the music on the site seems to be emerging/indie bands but there is some more popular stuff on there also. We posted a few of our songs up there and over the course of the past week we have gotten a lot of positive feedback!

The way it works is simple. Once you’ve created a profile, you have access to a bunch of genres each with hundreds of songs from original artists (some covers too!)  You are alerted to some quests which consist of listening to a certain number of new songs, marking songs as your favorites, listening to a favorite over and over again etc. The more quests you complete the more experience you gain and the higher your level gets and the more credibility you earn as a music enthusiast! Basically its like if Pandora mated with World of Warcraft.

We’ve found that it’s really good for bands because it’s like the social aspect of Myspace but for people interested in discovering new music (as opposed to posting obnoxious pictures of themselves and spamming their friends with aps) We’ve found new favorites such as Philip Ferrari, King Tut, Go Periscope, FM BELFAST which gets our blood pumpin to dance all night!

Check out this site ASAP if you want to shake your booty while hearing some great new music at the same time! Don’t forget to give us a heart or two!
