Recording Update

Well after 6 months or so in the shadows, we are putting the final touches on this EP. Daniel [Hoxmeier] has remained the ever-patient engineer and is just starting the mixing process. The number of talented people who have helped us with their voices, instruments, good advice etc. continues to grow.

We are shooting for a late February release. Daniel [Dillon] wanted to add harp solos to every track but we had to draw the line somewhere. =P

But I think we might actually play a show soon or something. We miss sweating profusely and embracing friends afterwards.

Concrete Etching Unwittingly Ushers in New Era for the History of Mankind

In an act of obligation to the human race this past Tuesday Daniel Dillon immortalized 'legs against arms' in a fresh slab of concrete outside the Paramount Theatre in downtown Austin. The slab was poured to smooth over a cracked divot in the side alley bordering the Theatre, the same alley where Dillon found himself crouched that afternoon carving the band's name into man's eternal canvas.

"My ancestors would have wanted it this way" he said, in a statement to local city officials, still holding the letter opener he used to carve the objet d'art. "If I hadn't gotten up to do it, I'd still be filing reports at my desk and that sucks".

Historians believe this event could mark the end of our current frame of reference for time. "If this landmark event tells us anything at all it's that our present mode of self-reference in the grand chronology of the universe is outdated. Given the sequence of events that have unfolded over the course of human history I think it's safe to say that we have reached a new milestone. No longer can we refer to our present position in time as 2008 A.D.," said University of Stanford Department Chair Walter Snigginsbacher, "It's 1 A.L.A.A."

Dillon also reported having struggled with himself about whether or not to transcribe the lyrics to "My Milkshake Brings all the Boys to the Yard" into the concrete canvas before eventually deciding against it and just writing the word "giblets". top of page

Bassist, Michael Dillon, struggles to stay upright as legions of fans ransack his ankles at a show in Brussels.

Caught completely off guard by the throngs of cheering spectators, and by the awesomeness of his own wailing guitar solo, Legs Against Arms bassist Michael Dillon was nearly knocked a' kilter last Saturday in Brussels when a surging mass of fans broke through the sawhorses to catch a fleeting stroke of the superstar's hair, elbow, or bicep. Anything would do, it seemed. One devotee even reported clamoring for Dillon's coveted "crotch fabric" before being pile driven by four security officers. A group of eleven starry-eyed youths approaching from the Northwest side of the stage undetected rushed to embrace the performer around his waist, eluding local authorities and allowing themselves to be dragged through the street in admiration before city police and crowd control security were able to wrest free the luminary from his adoring aficionados. Remaining members of the band looked on in bewilderment. top of page
