Its Summer Time

Ok, Yeah, we need to update this more, and we promise to update this more regularly than we have been. Lets get this ball rollin'. Its Time for Loup-Garou News.

Recording Time!

The Summer is upon us and we are hard at work preparing for it! We are less than two weeks away from stepping into the studio! We plan on spending June and July working on our currently unnamed record/ EP and hope to have that out to the masses by the end of the summer. The first song we will be recording will be Navajo. For those of us that joined us at the BMR Jams contest earlier in the spring will recognize it as the song that helped us win some from recording time from Ol' Elegante Studios in the first place. We are all super excited about going in to record and can't wait to hear the finished product. As soon as we know we'll let you know how you can purchase songs/ albums can the old fashioned way or on i-tunes etc. To help cover the cost of producing the album we are planning a fundraiser soon and when we do, we'll let you know how you can help us!

A Change in the line up 

With the summer starting, that means that spring is at an end and the end of spring means the end of an era !
for Loup-Garou. Our Sax player, Albi returned to Germany early in May. We're going to miss him, but at the same time taking this as a chance to update our sound and explore some new directions with our most recent addition to the band, viola player Mollie McFarland. Mollie is a classically trained Viola player who will be bringing a great sound to Loup-Garou and we are super excited to have her on board! You can read more about Mollie coming in to the band, the band's reaction to Albi leaving a review of some of our stuff and more over http://magiccitybands.com/loup-garou/.
