good people!
after much 'mucking about' here/there i have news in spades for you/yours. without further ado:

- a new site (v 3.0?!) is in the works & should launch come late august. you will now be able to follow all things joshuaenglish.com via an RSS feed, find a more extensive media section (song lyrics, etc.) & a snazzy web store. this will be the 'mothership' from which all transmissions will emanate -- soon!

- delays in the form of 'lay bare your bones' abound. truth be told, this is for your own good (trust us!) december 7th will see the new batch of tunes released in the form of vinyl/digital/ & a limited edition digipak. for those lucky few who picked up the short run of the aforementioned (read: promo) enjoy them as they're gone. pre-order packages & such will be avail in the coming months, so eyes peeled & all that!

-lastly, after a few portland area dates in august, i will be heading to new england in early october to shoot a video/play some pre-release gigs. all of that is pending, but should be confirmed shortly.

many thanks/much love

good people,
it's been a while since i've come up for air, here's the scoop! some new n.w. dates up in the form of street fairs & such, all of this leading up to an official record release in september to be announced shortly. i will be doing the aforementioned shows solo/duo or full band, depending...more on that soon as we get kinks worked out. the digital version of the new record will still be avail on june 29th, with digipak available at july shows & all 3 (that would be snappy vinyl edition/digital & digipak) at the record release show in september. delays yes, but worth the wait 'pinkie swear' and all that.

on top of that my talented buddy bruce & i will be filming another video f/ the forthcoming record while i'm back east. it will be posted in the handy 'media' section of the site
when we're done! in other news, news dates are posted. pinkie swear this is but an taste of what's on deck. eyes peeled for a support tour or 3, along with 
the usual scattered dates in the not-too-distant future. there's more, but i'm forgetting it at the moment.

hello good people...all apologies for the gap in updates, but things have been busy here @ base camp! recording of a new full-length is set to take place back east next month. i've been busy demoing/sending off tunes to the usual suspects, writing towards the proverbial finish line if you will. pinkie swear this stuff will be greeaatt (like that orange tiger promised when you were a kid) adam taylor will again be at the helm, with some old/new faces returning to help me do my dirty work. rumors of a 'left coast' gig/new england show in march & west coast mini-tour are also being thrown around. updates from ground zero (i.e. 'camp street studios') with some possible video tomfoolery is imminent. until then...

much love/

welcome one & all to v3.0 of the site. we've been attempting to get the right mix of utilitarian/aesthetic going, and i think this is hands down the best look/feel yet. many thanks to greg for all his hard work. those looking for great design (web or otherwise) would do well to get in touch w/ him via: www.gregismyname.com. in other news, only one gig left in '09, i caught a nasty case of norovirus a few days back which left me laid up for 48 grueling hours, i had to postpone tonights lowell gig as a result, but will list the reschedule when it's confirmed. the mp3 of the month project has been on backorder (as i still owe you nov/dec tunes) but will continue as i write my way towards the finish line (or album #3, if you prefer) in the meantime, you can check out aug/sep/oct tunes via the below links:

enjoy the last days of 2009/
