A Thousand Torches (tumblelog)

Hey All…  

Good News!!!!  Four songs are officially mixed for the new “3” record. Everything sounds great and its a pleasure to reunite with Mike Birnbaum and Chris Bittner of Applehead Studio’s . This is the team that recorded and produced our first record “Paint By Number” back in 1998 and also produced and recorded Coheed & Cambria’s first three albums. We’ll be back at it next week to hopefully knock out a couple more mixes. Then its time to finish up the remaining tunes and mix them in march.  Good things do take time, and we believe this record will be more than worth the wait…  

Meanwhile we’ll be making our return to the Bearsville Theater on February 25th. Expect some more sneak peeks at whats to come from the new album… Spread the word!  

Also this Saturday will be a musical double feature in Woodstock; at 7:30 a solo set by Joey Eppard at the Varga Gallery followed by a performance of E-G-O at Harmony Cafe starting at 9:30pm.

Hey all,   

We’ve made solid progress in the recording of the new record, finishing 2 songs in the last two days. We’ll be tracking more of Billy’s guitars all weekend and should be ready to mix soon. I played a track for my bro (Josh Eppard) the other day and he said he thought it was the best thing we’d ever done. I have to agree. 2011 is going to be our year!  - Joey

Thank you for a great year!  Though conceived in early 2008, A Thousand Torches was born in April 2010.  Our glimmering presence existed as merely a tumblelog, but with donations contributed, we’ve been able to bring aKt closer to the complete vision of the website.  Our Den (resource / archive) and Campsite (community bulletin board forum) are in development, and we’ve been in the habit of posting a rare thefamily3 song for download each month.  Over 300 pages currently exist in the Den and over 500 snippets have been shared on the Tumblelog!  During that time we’ve also begun to build an extensive collection of interviews, lyrics, detailed discographies…  there’s a wealth of information just waiting to be uncovered!  And plenty more to come!  As 3 goes into their 18th year of being a band and gets ready to release their 7th album, www.athousandtorches.com is prepared to be there!

We here at aKt look forward to spending another year with YOU as well as our favorite music!  Stay safe and have a healthy new year!  A Thousand Torches wouldn’t exist without its community.  <3
