BY THE END OF TONIGHT RELEASE NEW SPLIT IN CONTINUING QUEST TO PREVENT OUR EVER BEING CURRENT WITH REVIEWING THEIR CATALOG

Let's take a second and count up all the By The End of Tonight releases that are sitting in our 'to review' pile. 1) Their split 7" with O Pioneers!!! 2)The Gunslinger EP 3) My Mom Caught me in my Room Beat Boxin' ep 4)He's Home with Bones that Grow the Way They're Supposed to EP 5)The Imaginary EP. Granted, we've subsequently learned that the final four EPs, which were released on those 3" mini-cds and each recorded by a separate band member in the style of Kiss (or Outkast), technically came out before we starting reviewing music and bringing you the gossip about which you have little interest, but still, they are on our stack.

NOW ADD to that their newest baked potato bar of hits, a split on Temporary Residence with the band Tera. The CD release (though it will also be out on limited edition vinyl) is tonight at the White Swan, with a bill that includes O Pioneers!!!, Blades, Paper Moons and Lisa's Sons. YUSS. We heard these tracks, though perhaps in a bit of a rough form, during a visit to Chris Ryan's Dead City Sound earlier this year, and we have to agree with his assessment that this is the set of bangers that has the potential to take this hard touring foursome to a new plane of national visibility. We sure hope so - maybe a bit of fame will help put the breaks on their release schedule so we can play catchup.
