pre order my new shanks album

You can go and pre-order the Shanks and the Dreamers albumA Day Late: Instrumentals for Illegal Aliens. I arranged and composed the tracks, so do it, above all else, do it. Even if you care not, because sometimes, its the thought that counts. Either way, i promise that it will help with stress relief. Maybe not right away, but sooner or later, it will return the favor that you my good friend, have bestowed upon it. The artwork was done by yours truly, and old school graff head, Martin Nilchian. Since we are both from Cali, it will remind you of it.

Shanks and the Dreamers

Yah, i got a band, so what. The album we are releasing is called "A Day Late: Instrumentals for Illegal Aliens" and features 6 tracks. This album was recorded from the summer 05 to summer 06 and was mixed down and mastered and complete on Dec 20th 2006. It will be released soon after my new film "Knock Knock" is done, which if i were to speculate, March 2007.

The artwork design and layout for the CD was co authored by graphic artist Martin Nilchian who also played Marteen in my very first film Dino Adino.

The material on this release is a bit different, well alot different then where Shanks and the Dreamers is now adays. These recordings are more intimate and the album is more conceptual then the newer stuff. "A Day Late" was really a solo instrumental album with help from friends who eventually became Shanks and the Dreamers. But, because it is the birth of an idea, it will retain the same name.

There will be a limited pressing and will be available online, some stores, and here i guess. But i will let you know where you can grab a copy.

For now, here is the fantastic link to the place you spend all day, myspace....
