Smash Extravaganza.

Our new EP will be released Saturday, July 17. We've had good the fortune of being able to coordinate it with WEXT's 3rd Annual Birthday Bash! The show will be upstairs at Valentine's and includes Sea of Trees (of course), with Sgt Dunbar and the Hobo Banned, The Rain in Spain, and Barons in the Attic. It's $7 at the door and things will kick off promptly at 7:30 to make sure all these great bands have plenty of time to play.

We're really proud of this recording and want it to be heard! We also want to be able to keep in touch with you all and keep you (gently) informed about the exciting happenings planned for the rest of the year. So, we've decided that on the Friday before the show (7/16), we're going to send an e-mail to our mailing list with instructions for a free download of the album. If you're already on the list...Thank You! If not, enter your email in the form below before noon on 7/16 and we'll get you signed up in time for the free download.

In the meantime, check out this track from the album!

Hello, Goodbye.

Jack played euphonium, shaker, and handclaps at three Sea of Trees' shows over the course of two short months. From what I've heard, it really added a lot to our 'sound'. But his talents go far beyond that! As it turns out, Jack (under the name Barrow Burrow) writes one hell of a pop song. I'm hooked. From his Facebook page:

"Barrow Burrow’s name comes from the winter I discovered songwriting in Alaska. Barrow - the northernmost town in the United States - signifies my extreme relocation to the north. Burrow - an underground home a mammal lives in to protect itself from harsh weather - signifies the time I spent recording in my apartment waiting for the winter darkness to subside."

Jack is about to undergo another extreme relocation. He will be sorely missed. But, before he goes, we conned him into letting us learn his songs and be the backing band for a Barrow Burrow farewell show. Jack has never fronted a band before. And sadly, this will only happen once. So, don't miss it! These songs are FUN!

Join us next Tuesday (June 15) at Valentine's!.
AM Ghost and the Hoborchestra open.

We will try to start between 7 and 7:30, since it's a Tuesday.

There's an event on Facebook if you're into that sort of thing...Click Here!

Also, you can follow Jack's adventures...here. You will soon be hooked too.

"There's Foam in Everything"

According to the sales rep at Albany Foam and Supply, there's foam in EVERYTHING! And, based on the size of this little-known treasure trove of foam right here in our backyards, I believe him.

We just made a pretty sizeable purchase ourselves. Halloween is coming down the pipe, and if it's anything like last year, the second annual Halloween Freak-Out is going to be a real extravaganza. That's all I'm allowed to say at this point. Well, it's on Halloween night at Valentine's with the beloved BEWARE! the Other Head of Science and Sgt Dunbar and the Hobo Banned.

Last year, it looked like this...the audio's a little weird, but you get the point. SPOOOKY!

Introducing...Alessandro Troiano!

If you were at our cd release party in April you saw Alex with us pounding a floor tom, building ridiculous cymbal swells, and blasting trumpet lines. Or, you might be familiar with Alex as the drummer for El Duke. Or maybe this is all totally new to you. Any which way, the good news is that Alex will be joining us as a bonafide 'sometimes-full-time' member. What will he play? Your guess is as good as mine, but you can be assured that it will be done with an unparalled flare.

We finally have some shows lined up too! There's some variety here so there should be a little something for everyone.

August 15 - Valentine's w/Todd is New Each Moment and Love for the Masses, 9PM

August 22 - Beat Shop. Browse the records while SOT plays every song they know and then some, 2-3 acoustic, 3:15-5 electric

September 12 - Franklin's Tower w/We Are Jeneric. SOT house warming party, 9pm

September 18 - Emack and Bolios (Uptown). Stop by for ice cream while SOT plays totally acoustic (no microphones), 7-10PM

And don't forget about the free live EP.
