We’re a day late on our promise, but here’s our first free download from our upcoming release “Sentimental Education.”
Oh, and the new album cover…
The Red House show was a success! Thanks to the bands, staff, and listeners who attended. That’s all for In Reverent Fear shows this year, so thanks again for a great 2008!
Release for the “Sentimental Education” record is scheduled for February 2009. In the meantime we will post new songs online for FREE download. The first one becomes available on December 4th (!!!!!!!). It will be free for a LIMITED time only, so you must be decisive and swift.
It seems only appropriate to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, so if you observe the holiday, happy Thanksgiving to you! Be safe!
Sincere thanks to everyone who has come to a show recently; it means a lot. We’ve received many requests to play at an all ages venue, so I’m happy to announce that on Friday November 21st, we will play at the Red House in Walnut Creek. Bring a friend and enjoy yourselves (no matter what your age). This is our only show booked for the rest of 2008!!!
As stated in the last blog, the entire “Stomacher” album has been made available for FREE download, but only for a limited time. So if you don’t have it, get it NOW for free! Here’s the link
http://inreverentfear.com/download-stomacher-free/
After November 14th “Stomacher” will be available for just $7, directly from the In Reverent Fear website. Until further notice, we request that you ONLY obtain Stomacher from OUR website. If you purchase it anywhere else, your money goes into a black hole, never to be seen by anyone remotely involved with the band. No joke! Do the right thing!!!
In closing, we’re wrapping up work on the new record and I must say, this is our best selection of songs yet. With our friend, Greg, on board (keys, guitars, tambourine, pork sword), we’re preparing to hit the shed. These are powerful songs and the live show will convey that. Speaking of the live show, we’re working up “Stomacher” tunes that have never been seen or heard live. Check it out!
Thanks for listening! This is your band.
Our new record is coming to a close, FINALLY. We thank you all for your patience and continued support! Keep checking back on Myspace and here for updates as we’ll be releasing more solid information such as a release date, etc.
UPDATE: This free download period has ended, but you can still purchase Stomacher on iTunes.
For a limited time, download our 2006 release Stomacher for free. The download will be taken down a week from now on the 14th, and continue to be sold for $7. Tell all your friends, share the link!
To any and all of you who were planning to come to the Mutiny show yesterday 8/2, Sorry. They venue had a bad case of ‘miscommunication.’ Our apologies to any disappointed attendees.Â
We will be preparing this week for the acoustic show next friday, which I think will be great fun. If there are any other expecting mothers out there, do come. Good music, makes good babies.Â
Peace
OK, so this weekly blog thing has turned into a tri-weekly attempt to resume weekly blogging. If diligence were waffles, I must have leggo my eggo.
On the recording front, things are moving along steadily, so hopefully we can post a new jam for you soon. In the meantime, we’re playing almost all of the new material live.
Speaking of playing live, check the upcoming shows section. This next week we’ll be in Sacramento, Concord, and Berkeley. And yes, they will be our best shows ever.
Another exciting snippet, we’ll be performing our first (of many) baby-shower(s). Our friend Britney is preggers and will be honoring her unborn (unless it suddenly gets born) baby. It will be a night of celebration, acoustic-style, at Panama Bay Coffee. If you’ve been waiting for an appropriate time to invite your parents, grandparents, godparents to an IRF show, the wait is over. Bring them and your fine self.
Finally, we are in desperate need of new tires for the band van. This is an SOS; can you help us? We’ve got cool shirts for sale, and we are available for all kinds of events (electric and acoustic). If the result is new tires, sign us up. Thanks!
Thanks for the wonderful support recently! It’s really special to be heard, so if you’ve come to a show recently, thanks again. If you live elsewhere and simply enjoy the tunes on MySpace, thanks to you.
UNEXCITING NEWS: Last week we disclosed plans to record our performance at Panama coffee. Acoustic shows are a good chance to rearrange songs, change the grooves, and learn some covers. After meticulously setting up to record the gig, we were thwarted by technical difficulties. Suffice it to say, my computer couldn’t take the pressure. I hope we get the chance to try again soon.
EXCITING NEWS: In 5 days we will track drums for 8 new songs! That means that every drum track (on this album) will be done and I’ll be looking for unique ways to celebrate. Suggestions? This session will be especially exciting, because we’ll be tracking live! Capturing this kind of energy is awesome.
THE BIGGEST NEWS: we will be playing tomorrow night (thursday) in SF at Bottom of the Hill. If you attend, you will hear 7 songs off the new record! They’re good, and we’ve even enlisted some help to make them unbelievable. Don’t miss this.
Thanks again! Love to you all.
John
Seems everything is counting again. We’re working on oh say a little 15 new arrangements to old stripped songs via the acoustic format. We’ll be recording our set on thursday night so do come on time.Â
Additionally our friends in The federalists invited us to play on the 29th of may at the bottom of the hill, which is practically in your room, so do come. We have high hopes for the show, so.. we wish you were there.Â
We’re also working on some free posters to hand out…

This will a Jarrod/Stephen Duet.
It’s like a slow crawl to much needed water.
I’ve always wanted to make something one can sink into, I hope
thats what we’ve done.
Its the best thus far, and we can’t wait
to finish and get it out there for everyone to hear.
some times i feel
like its a celebration, a night that turns into a morning in the countryside,
strange things happening every direction. I’m proud to be apart of it.
Lyrics for peasant song
_____________________
peasant
lay me down in all your straw
a saviors birth i will call it
just don’t keep me from the light
i won’t even try to believe
still i know you’ll come for me
peasant
did you ever feel a cursed man
a little threatened in your fathers hands
or is it all bleak and hazy now
i’ll nail you back to that tree
today you will be released
i’m not feeling well
and i’m not making sense
and you feel i’m a little guilty
with all this blood in my mouth
if i’m not shining then i will be released.
released.
