It is now official! Mark it on your calendar. Toaster Fork!’s very first CD Release Party will be at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis. We will have an 11 song CD and individual “Slices” from the website available for purchase before the concert. More details to follow…

Good question don’t you think? Well, chances are you’re going to hear it at the CD release party. If you’re nervous that you may not hear it, please, let us know! Send me an e-mail! I’ll make sure it’s added to the set list. Sorry Rob.. STH is not allowed… Or is it? We’ll have to put it to a band vote.

I’m changing things up…  I’m writting BEFORE a Silver Ant night!  God Bless the internet and free Kiosks at Dunn Bros.

Tonight we focus on finishing up the guitar work.  If we stay focused, and Mark feels inspired, we should be able to wrap up the guitar tracks by the end of the month.   Then some vocal work, cowbell, shakers, etc. and it’s on to mixing and mastering.

The CD itself is taking shape.  We think we have created a CD package you will all enjoy (and gladly spend your hard earned dollars on).  Something different, yet something very Fork!.  Plans are starting to be made for the big CD release party…  May?  June? we’ll see, you can be assured that we’ll get plenty of stage time and much celebrating will be done.

Stay tuned!

Last night we recorded the final two drum tracks for our upcoming CD…  Always Something was a surprise!  Then again, it always is.  A prototype of the CD case has been put together and song orders have been discussed.  Keep checking back for updates, drop us a line.

Toaster Fork! would like to thank ALL of you who showed up on Friday night to support us! For some it was short notice, for others it was a long night. Special Fork Lift! to all the dancers and screamers in the house… Next event? CD release party, hope you’re as excited as we are!

Jay (#6) will reach a milestone age on January 5th… To celebrate, we’re playing the 400 Bar. Doors open at 8, we’ll be on around 11pm.

Hope to see you there!

Another night, more progress… Tenor AND Alto Sax working together in harmony… Thomas’s ‘gimmick’… All three Thrall boys… A break from the holiday festivities… All good.

We welcome your questions!  If you need to know something, want some constrictive criticism, or an unwarrented opinion, please leave a Comment and we’ll get back to you. (click ‘comment’ at the bottom of this Post).  Ask an individual Fork! member, address the entire band, whatever.

No question is off limits unless it leads to an arrest, divorce or the Witness Protection Program..

So, come on! What’s on your mind?

“She left town riding someone else’s train/She blew on by just like a hurricane/Headed to the border/gave her the bird good-bye/she didn’t answer and I can’t tell you why”

Last night we made progress on Iowa Hog(g) and Warm and Fuzzy.  We have two more sessions scheduled for December.  It’s a slow process, but progress is being made every night. 

 Hopefully it’ll all payoff when you, our fans, listen to the CD and make it your new favorite album.  It’ll REALLY payoff when you tell all your friends about it, and they tell their friends, so on and so on…  Before you know it we’ll be touring Europe demanding backstage amenities like Oreo’s with orange filling, beer chilled to 29.4 degrees, 3 rubber chickens (female) and chair heights that don’t exceed 42 inches.

Until that happens, please keep checking back for updates on the progress of the CD.  Also, if anyone out there is actually READING these posts, please leave some comments! (This includes other Toaster Fork! members).
