TRUTH SO I, SAM ROSEN HAVE BEEN PUTTING OUT MY OWN RECORDS SINCE I WAS 14, AND HERE WE ARE 5 YEARS LATER AND I AM STILL RUNNING THE BUSINESS, GETTING THE WORD OUT IN BABY STEPS AND CHOREOGRAPHED MOVES. THIS FEELS APPROPRIATE THOUGH AS I HAVE UPROOTED AND SHIFTED THE SOUND AND NAME OF EVERYTHING I DO FREQUENTLY SINCE THE BEGINING, AND IT IS NICE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT REALLY. IN 2005 AFTER PUTTING TOGETHER THREE LITTLE CDS I MADE FOR 3 OR 4 TOURS (MOSTLY WITH THE INDISPUTABLE MVP OF BASS NAT BALDWIN HIMSELF) I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BEST TO PUT TOGETHER A GROUP OF SEAN HOOD, MARY FAHEY AND MYSELF TO RELEASE RECORDS AND MAKE MUSIC FOR THE NEW ENGLANDS. AND WE CALLED THIS GROUP CLASS ACT RECORDS. UNDER THIS NAME, AND WITH THE HELP OF MY FRIENDS ASTHMATIC KITTY RECORDS, I RELEASED MY FIRST ALBUM LAST OCTOBER CALLED "THE LOOK SOUTH" BUT SINCE THEN OF COURSE MY VIBES HAVE SHIFTED GEARS AND I FELT THE NEED TO TASTE THE SWEET CHANGE AGAIN, AND I WANTED THIS ONE TO BE PERMANENT, ALL-ENCAPSULATING AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TRUTH. ALL AT ONCE, WHILE RUNNING THE SHOWER, STEAMING THE BATHROOM FOR A SAUNA KIND OF EFFECT, SEAN HOOD AND MYSELF THOUGHT INTENTLY ON WHAT TRUTH MIGHT SOUND LIKE. AND OBVIOUSLY, HERE WE ARE NOW. THE NAME CHANGE REFLECTS THE GROWING INTERESTS AND AMBITIONS OF OUR CORE GROUP, AS 2007 SEES SEAN HOOD, MARY FAHEY AND MYSELF REEVALUATING AND REPHRASING WHAT IT IS WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT, WHICH IS TO SAY, PLAY MUSIC. I HAVE STARTED MY ON-GOING DANCE PERFORMANCE ART PROJECT "GET THE MOTION," SEAN HOOD HAS BEGUN A TOTAL OVERHAUL IN TERMS OF THE SOUND AND VIBE OF HIS FORTHCOMING RELEASE "VACILADOR" AND SADLY, MARY FAHEY AND MYSELF HAVE DISSOLVED THE RIGHTEOUS BAND PILLOW FIGHT! IN ORDER TO BEGIN A NEW COMPLETELY SIMILAR PROJECT OF LOOSELY PSYCHEDELIC UNDERTONES WHICH HAS YET TO BE NAMED. MY BAND WITH SEAN HOOD OPERATOR HOWEVER, REMAINS EXACTLY THE SAME. 2007 -"GET THE MOTION" LP IS RELEASED AS OF JUNE. THESE ARE NICE HOMEMADE COPIES. "THE LOOK SOUTH" LP IS STILL AVAILABLE THROUGH THIS WEBSITE. -SEAN HOOD COMPILES AND SELF-RELEASES A LIVE IN BURLINGTON, VT EP COMING THIS SUMMER -THEN SEAN HOOD RELEASES A SELF-PRODUCED PRELUDE TO HIS DEBUT RECORD "VACILADOR" ALSO COMING THIS SUMMER -MARY FAHEY AND I BEGIN WRITING AND RECORDING POSSIBLY UNDER THE BAND NAME ESSENTIA -OPERATOR CONTINUES TO STAGNATE AS SEAN HOOD AND I SPEND SOME TIME COMING OF AGE -AS I SPENT THE RECENT "GET THE MOTION" TOUR SINGING AND DANCING DUETS WITH MY IPOD KIRSTEN, I HAVE JUST RECENTLY PUT TOGETHER A BAND, TO DEBUT JUNE 16TH AT GLASSLANDS GALLERY IN BROOKLYN NY.
