Okay kids. I know its been said before, but those songs are almost in our hot little hands. I had the
privilege once again to join the doods at Gggarth's studio to listen in on the mixes Dean had produced. Wonderful.
I feel sorry for you suckers that really have to wait it out! So far, "Beautiful" and "Girlfriend" have been completed.
Due to other .... other.... shit, Crippen has left exithiside. In place, Alex has taken the to the throne,
literally. He has been said to rock it like no other since Julz took leave. I'm excited to check this out on Hallowe'en....
Hallowe'en Showcase with Holiday and a few others! ON OCTOBER 31! Come one, come all, dressed ridonkulously!
Tix are 10$ Through myself or the guys.

After talking to Tarek, we have some info on what is really going on with the upcoming album. The guys were
recently at Gggarth's in the puking snow getting the final little tidbits that needed to be recorded on his equiptment.
Upon arriving back on the Shore the harddrive was handed over to them to finish up background vox, and some guitar bits here
and there. Setup of the two programs apparently has caused some stress, but recording is well underway. A couple
weeks from now Gggarth is scheduled to be in town and the guys are to meet up with him at his studio downtown to go over everything
they have done. No promises, but "in the best case scenario, mixing should occur 3 weeks from now,
then Gggarth is to shop it." - Tarek.
The album is to consist of five songs, and yes, "Beautiful to Me" will be on it for all you beggers!
These finished tracks are to prospect in receiving a recording contract, so the rest of the album can be completed!
No dates are determined in whether the five songs are to be released on their own or with a completed full length album.

More recording is to be completed at Gggarth's in the next couple of weeks. The work to be done is laying down
some more of Ben's vocals.

After the stressful process of moving, Tarek has got the boys' studio set up. The guys have been working a
lot to put together their demos to send off to GGGarth. I had the privilege to be able to observe the processes they
go through to put together a song, and am able appreciate the time and effort that goes into everything they do. Remember
everyone, be patient, this one is going to be good!

The show at the Plaza was wicked. Lots of new stuff was played, and all the guys did a stellar job. Julian
is still out with a broken back, but attended and watched the in place drummer, Marty, do a killer set. Julian,
watching from above had nothing bad to say about Marty. "His playing was tight... he was right on
with everything... and he sounded great. No complaints... I would like to see him continue for the next few months".
- Julian. Marty's roomate even said that Marty would sit there with headphones on, to get the counts right. Marty,
you did an awesome job, keep it up! Julian is still expected to be out for a couple more months. Get better dude.

The boys are at it again. This week they are heading over to GGGarth's studio/ranch to record. It will
be mostly Ben and Tarek doing so, while the others frolic off into the grass to pet some horses. Is this the final recordings
of the new album? Stay tuned to find out!
May 30, 2004
Recording is still underway and will continue through June. Sadly, no release date for a new
album has been announced. WHERE IS JULZ?! That is the big question. Julian has packed it up to head to England
for a couple of months. Stepping in his place for the tour and shows will be Dave from Claim the World.

The boys, and other Vancouver favourites, The Rumours, will be opening for Billy Talent, February 2 & 3 in Alberta! Have fun guys!

exithiside has decided that "if we're going to do an album, we might was well do it right" - Ben.
Therefore, the album production has been delayed, and a relase is planned for early spring. Not to mention GGGarth has
a busy schedule and getting everyone together is tough!
October 1, 2003

Exit recently visited GGGarth's home studio in Gibsons to arrange the recording for the new EP.
Writing will start ASAP and recording will begin shortly after. Look for the album release as early as October!
A few months ago it was known that exithiside licensed some songs to go on Midway's video game NHL
Hits 2004. The release of the game is scheduled for September 23, 2003 (which also happens to be my
birthday... hahaha).

"Beautiful To Me" gets a regular rotation on XFM. If you do request it,
they do play it! I did one evening, and not 3 minutes later, my voice, and the song were on XFM!
