Great news! We just finished up the mastering on the new album, and believe me it's hard as nails. With the assistance of Paul Dugre, it was mastered by Joe Gaswirt using the HDCD system at Oceanview Digital Mastering - Los Angeles, Ca. (Joe has a huge track record including mastering all the Ramones, Talking Heads, "X" plus tons of vanguard punk bands in NYC back in the 80's. He even did Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys.) 'HDCD' for you tech-heads means this recording was mastered in full 24 bit resolution and 20 bit high definition playback! (as close to vinyl as your gonna find) We are just putting the finishing touches on the album art, and should have the album out late next month. Now I bet some of you are wonderin' who April Atomic is? Well if you haven't already seen her in Hot Rod Magazine or on the cover of the OC Weekly, you might just be living in a cave (but one with a computer if you are reading this). Anyway, April will helping us out by modeling the new merch line planned for release with the new album. (Looking forward to seeing that!) So stay tuned for all sorts of cool BH things coming up real soon!!! (ahhh, Spring is in the air!) |

10/18/01 Hi everybody. It's

terror problem. Way to go!! |

9/11/01 It saddens us and sickens us to no end that some people on this planet can be so cruel and cold hearted. It makes us really step back and appreciate what it means to be an American, the shining beacon of freedom and hope to the entire world. We all extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to all families and friends that were affected by this, and further more, we all stand behind our country's stead-fast effort to weed out and eliminate this continuing threat to humanity. God bless us all, God bless America. |

9/4/01 So, how was your labor-day weekend? Ours was great, Dave got hitched on Saturday to a great gal named Tony, Brian was down in Burbank, layin' down some smokin' guitar tracks, and we are all still reelin' & a rockin' from our show with Brian Setzer's 68 Comeback Special a week or so ago, when he brought up the entire band for a three song encore. He would not let us go. Wow! now that was real cool! We'll get some pics up soon, but 'till then you can see some shots @ http://www.socalscene.net/blazing_haley/blazinghaley.html and oh yeah, if you get PAX network, you might want to tune in on sunday the 9th at 6pm pacific. "Hay, we'll do most anything for a free trip to Vegas."... And last but not least... You should try and make it to our next show on friday the 21st at Velvet Jones here in SB, we got the kings of ghoul 'Mr. Badwrench' on stage, and that's always guaranteed misbehavin'. |

10/31/00 Hi gang, just to let
you know the Blood-Drive on saturday was slammin'! Our buddies Speedbuggy
started things off, followed by The Amazing Crowns, then your's
truly. It was really great to see so many of our loyal bretherend
there.. especially those with well stocked trunks!...Now about the
show, I really thought the beginning was way better than the later
so-called headliners, I mean it was like a revival show with all
the old bands last and the up-and-comers on early, not to take anything
away from the show, it was still crankin' (I got a few pixs up on
our Kustom Kulture page).... |

10/4/00 There's a mention of Blazing Haley in the December Rod & Custom, which is due out October 17! On page 14, there's a little "news item" on the Rat Fink party in No-Ho, it says ".....there was plenty of live music from a constant rotation of rockabilly bands, including local favorite Blazing Haley, which IS becoming the required soundtrack for any custom get-together in these here parts." Yeah!! |

9/30/00 Blazing Haley Racing sponcers IHRA Funny Car???? "The Blazing Haley Alky Funny Car From HELL Hey Chris, We are looking for sponsors,either major or associate to help defray the enormous expense of campaining an alcohol funny car. They would provide funds, racing parts, services, help pay for entrance fees, hotel rooms, fuel for truck, fuel for the car, and fuel for the team - gotta feed em ! I heard about your band from Hot Rod Magazine , they gave rave reviews , and I hoped we could get together and kick some ass at the track with the BLAZING HALEY FUNNY CAR FROM HELL!!!!!!! Maybe I was being overly optimistic or getting ahead of myself , but if you can't swing it yet - no big deal. Maybe next year when you land that major record deal , or win the lottery , we can go for the whole enchilada. But for now I gotta keep looking for some help with this rocket ship on wheels.

8/00 Hay gang; Well It's probably time we put out a news section on our site..So here is the latest... 2000 is shaping up to be a killer year for Blazing Haley, with all the festivals, concerts, rockin' shows and being featured on MTV, plus radio and television spots... Along with getting everything ready for our next album its all been pretty crazy!! Speakin' of which we are going into the studio early september and should have the NEW CD in stores by dec 1st. (Now let me give you a little inside background on this.) We have got this studio in Burbank filled with tons of great vintage analog equipment along with a 16 track 2 inch tape machine (we are talkin' a BIG and FAT sound) and on mixing/co-production we also have Paul Dugree ( who has done most of Los Lobos and Dave Alvin's records - just to name a couple) So Expect a very [email protected]@L follow-up to our first album (Sleeper.) We also have drummed up alot of industry interest so we will see what transpires with that. But don't you worry Blazing Haley will always continue to do it our own way or its the highway! We are just trying to get on some cool tours and get better distribution. That's it for now, Hope to see y'all at a show real soon, and keep an eye out for the new album... YeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaw! |
