+ Steve Shiffman & The Land of No is about to put the finishing touches on the second of our EP Release Series, entitled Nemegt Uul. We have two rockers, both recorded at our new Studio Space, and a previously recorded rock/pop-ish number. The EP release dates is slated for October. More on this as the weeks progress.
+ Frozen Falls have begun recording sessions in the new Studio Space as well. The past month and a half has been a great experience here, having the gear set up in a permanent way. We can hone and craft and perfect our collective visions. All it needs is a small fridge to keep the brews and leftovers cold. It will be done.
+ Also, looking toward other recording projects, now that the studio has been established in a place conducive to tracking and mixing. It's becoming a dream come true. Still searching for a name for the studio. Suggestions are welcome.
+ Now, a forced, but much-needed, at home weekend with the lady, thanks to Irene, darkening the skies of Brooklyn as I type. Dark and Stormys on the menu for tomorrow. Be safe East Coast.
Rock.

+ Death and Love is here! Steve Shiffman & The Land of No has just released the first EP in our Record Release series on Later Records. This is the first official release I have engineered on, with our drummer and friend Aaron Kant taking on the mixing duties. It sounds great, and we hope you enjoy.

Bandcamp, Amazon, iTunes, eMusic
+ Steve Shiffman & The Land of No and Frozen Falls have moved to new digs. A fine space in Brooklyn where we can spread our wings and get recording done. Brick walls, exposed ceiling, hardwood floors, windows - moving up in the world, so to speak. The coming months look busy as hell in studio-land. Yes.
Rock.

+ Next month, which will be December, I will be participating in a Group Show in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York, called "TEAM WORK".
