‘ello, web-mates!  Boiling our way through the Atlanta summer, how about you?

We got back a few weeks ago from recording new songs for our upcoming album (!!!) and thought we’d share some of the audio visuals.  We were in South Carolina at the Jam Room Studios (where Band of Horses recorded), working with Jay Matheson.

We’re not gear rats by any means, so heading into the studio, we knew we didn’t have the world’s best equipment.  Mostly because it’s freaking expensive.  But the first thing Jay told us was, “Yeah, that’s not going to work at all!”  Actually, he said, “It’s gotta have NUTS!”  I guess all our equipment is female, who knew?

Thankfully, the Jam Room had more heads, cabs, and drums than we could ever possibly afford.  So we got to go all Supermarket Sweep and overload on gear; thankfully, the tunes are going to sound great because of it.  Seriously, we are freaking excited.  Emphatic period.

Since each of the tracks have 3+ guitar parts, Alex, David and Tucker had a decent amount of downtime while I layered and layered.  Alex took a lot of pics and videos, including some of the overdubbin:

While we were there, David also stumbled upon the most inspiring of literature, an erotic novel called “Secrets”.  Needless to say, we all learned a lot that day…mostly that we didn’t want David practicing his secrets on us.

Here’s some more pics from the weekend, including some very artsy ones of us in black and white.  Look how meaningful and pensive we look!!

The album is hopefully coming out this fall…maybe by November?  We’ve got lots of work to do until then, but good things are coming.  Get excited!  Or at least mildly curious.

Yeah, we’ve heard it all before, “I’d totally come see you, but it’s a school night/it’s a work night/I’ve got the kids/my IBS is acting up again.”  No excuses.  It’s a Friday and you need something to do.  Why not spend $8 and get three bands, $2 PBRs, plus bonus access to dancing all night long afterward at MJQ.  We’ll see you there.

June 3rd (THIS FRIDAY)

Zelda’s Dead
Clap for Daylight
Number Exchange

Drunken Unicorn (if you get tickets at the door you’ll also get access to MJQ)
(Next to Unique Pizzeria and a few steps across from Bookhouse Pub)
736 Ponce de Leon Ave NE
Atlanta, GA 30306

Doors open at 9PM, cover $8

We ended up being the opening band for Drivin’ N Cryin’ with our rendition of The Beatles Hey Jude.   We were quite honored to be part of the event and even get to spend some time backstage with DNC before we took the stage. 

Also a special thanks goes out to our honorary CFD members that helped us pull off this amazing show- Erin Vilines, Derek Tomello, Lou Davis, and Tessa Matthews!

This Wednesday night, come on out to Smith’s Olde Bar to hear CFD perform as part of the 500 Songs for Kids event.  No joke- Smith’s is hosting hundreds of bands to perform 500 songs over 10 days.  It’s going to be an amazing event for a great cause.  Clap for Daylight goes on around 9 with a cover of “Hey Jude.”  We’ll have special guests on stage with us rockin’ out the “na na na na’s” at the end too!

Check out the schedule for all of the bands involved!  Tickets are just $10 and proceeds go to the Songs for Kids Foundation.

$8 gets you in with 4 drink tickets, a pint glass to take home, and your ears full of awesome music.  CFD will be performing a good mix of new original song as well as classic covers.  I’m not gonna let the cat out of the bag, but I will say we have a 3-song 80′s mash-up that will make your eardrums want to cry tears of joy… if that were biologically possible.

Bottom line- be outside, hear music, drink beer.  There’s also a solid chance of cornhole boards to be set up.  $8 can buy happiness this Friday.

No- not like cutting open an animal and getting inside vis-a-vis Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back or Man vs. Wild.  The Drunken Unicorn is one of CFD’s most favorite venues to play within walking distance to the Clermont Lounge and we’ll be there next Wednesday February 2nd with The Red River and Ricer.   Other band name alliteration aside, you should come to the show!

Doors open at 9, CFD goes on second. Tix are $5 in advance, $7 day of, and you can get them from Ticket Alternative:

 See you there!

Clap for Daylight is once again gracing the yeasty brewery room at the Atlanta Brewing Company.  Come on down after a lackluster day of cublicle work on Friday and have a pint (or eight) with the band.  We’ll be playing from 6-8pm with a break inbetween for the always tasty brewery tour. 

Unlike most of our shows, the admission this Friday includes drink tickets AND a pint glass.  I mean, really- what more do you need…   Oh- and we’ll definitely be playing inside where it’s warm.

Hola, mes amis!

Just wanted to let you know Clap for Daylight’s got a great show lined up Wednesday, November 3 at Smith’s Olde Bar…we’re playing with other Atlanta guiding lights The Shadowboxers and Smalltown Mayors, a festivus of local rock goodness.  Check them out, because if we’re not compelling enough, they will convince you to venture out.  They’re very convincing.  Convinced?

Doors open at 8, we go on right afterwards.  Tickets available here, hope you can make it out!
