Ahh finally got some pictures up... thank God for FTP.
So we'll find out if we're playing at Parachute at the end of this month, it would be awesome if we get to but I havn't got my hopes up.
We are also planning to do a 5 track live recording sometime this holidays and we'll hopefully be burning off copys by January, so ask me if your keen.

A big thanks goes out everyone who has brought a cd! you're helping pay for recording some more songs.
But if you're too cheap and just download them I can forgive you...
We played at school yesterday, blessing Rangitikei College with our hip-hoppin' gangstar-rappin' beats.

We're back!! Maryland are playing at the foodbank gig at The Stomach this Friday, we'll be chuckin' out some free demos so come along and grab one it should be grand!
I havn't updated this site for a while but we've still been busy practicing and putting together some new material.
In the holidays we recorded our two songs for the "Future Recording Artist Award" prise thing at The Stomach. It went fantasticly, with Stephen nailing the drums first take for both songs! Legendary!
Shaun and I will be going back in to mix this Monday after school and I'll put the mp3s up on the site as soon as possible.

We spent Tuesday afternoon-night in the spare room of my house attempting to record various strange sounds of which included some of our songs!
I quickly mixed and transferred three of them to mp3s just to show you lovely net people... I'm not really the most experienced sound engeneer, so if anyone has any suggestions on what should be louder, what should be quieter, and what just sounds like plain shit, I'd be glad to hear it (maybe not the latter).

Wow it's 12:50 am and I'm still buzzing over the Rockquest Regional finals so in my true geeky fashion I'm on here updating the website! I'll give ya'll who didn't attend the summary:
Cathedra came first! they also won the stage image award and Shaun (sorry if I spelt it wrong) got the MAINZ scholarship thingy.
Josh from Cord Willis got the singer award.
And some other people I don't know got the other placings/awards.
But maybe the most exciting (for me at least) ... we got a days recording at The Stomach!!
Everyone who played did a good job at it I was quite impressed. I'm really liking Riot Girl and that guitarist from The Violent Pacifists' has really got shit going.

Great gig last night! I've never been so laxed out. Everyone played well thanks for comming if ya did. Still buzzing over when I heard some girl in the carpark say "Oh and Maryland they're really good"
Yeah so the website is working properly now (I think?) I'm planning to put some mp3s on soon to make it almost worth visiting. Untill something interesting happens... farewell!
