NOVEMBER UPDATE After a brief vacation we're back to work on the new album, our follow-up to "Offshore". "Return of the Native" (from the album "Offshore") was featured in Episode 9 of the television program "Army Wives" on Lifetime. The pilot episode of "Quarterlife" will include a handful of EDM songs, including "Perish Room", "Longwall" and "In These Hills". Check out the Quarterlife site (Quarterlife.com) for additional information. The debut episode premiers Nov 11th on Myspace and Nov 12th on Quarterlife.com. We were fortunate enough to stop in with the Daytrotter folks during our Midwest run of shows last month. No news yet as to when the live performance will be posted. We recorded three new songs and a rather 'drifting' number that came to us on the spot. Check Daytrotter.com or back here periodically for updates. Wednesday, October 31, 2007

IN THE STUDIO AND ON THE WEB Hello friends! Just a quick update to let you know that things are going well with the recording. We've got a home studio set up with John and Dan manning the spacebar. So long as the rain doesn't flood the basement we should have the first batch of songs recorded in the next week or so, then we move on to more writing and arranging of music, and more recording, and so on. Also, just incase you weren't aware, to keep up with the EDM goings-on you can find us at myspace.com/earlydayminersband, at secretlycanadian.com (check the bulletin board, and write to us there if you'd like), and NOW we're on virb.com as well. We plan on playing lots of shows late summer, U.S. and possibly Europe again soon-ish, so please write to us and let us know where to play in your town. We'd love to hear from you! Best, Marty/EDM Sunday, May 27, 2007
