The music blog Heavy Uber Alles runs a feature called “Tuesday Six” where they ask musicians to post six Youtube videos of various bands. Scott was asked to give his picks and he obliged. Other Tuesday Six features have included Orange Goblin and Rob Oswald of Karma to Burn. You can check it out here.
We finally got around to doing some maintenance on the ‘ol website. First, we switched hosting companies because our old host was slow and had frequent outages which were basically rendering the site next to useless. Second we added every show that we have ever played to the gig database. That brought back some memories! You ca check ‘em out for yourself on the shows page. Third, we added a show poster archive on the photos page. We plan to try and add some more content in the coming weeks so please check back.
In other news, the long overdue self titled Cortez album is on it’s way shortly. We have struck a deal to have it released on double LP! We will have some more details for everyone soon.
We have had to drop off of the show with Black Helicopter at Radio due to Scott injuring his hand and being unable to play the guitar. We’re extremely bummed but unfortunately we have no other option.
Our next show is rapidly approaching. Friday February 3rd we will be playing at Radio in Somerville, MA. The always amazing Black Helicopter are playing along with the 13 Million Years (new band with former members of Blacktail and 27).

Below is a link to a review of our show at Hank’s in Brooklyn last week. Thanks to JJ at the Obelisk for the kind words.
Cortez and Mighty High in Brooklyn
You know how we keep telling you to check back for news on our new album? Here’s a little tidbit to keep you interested: We picked up the vinyl master from New Alliance East in Cambridge yesterday afternoon. It sounds great! Nick and Rob did an outstanding job. We’ll give you more details soon.
We are playing with The Scrooges on Friday 12/16 at Radio in Somerville. If you haven’t seen The Scrooges you’re in for a treat. They are an Iggy & the Stooges cover band dressed like six demented Santas. They feature members of Cropduster, Cortez, Black Thai, Cult 45, Lamont and Rock City Crimewave.
We will also have some news regarding the release of the new Cortez album shortly. Keep checking back for more info.
We’re playing a FREE SHOW at Hank’s in Brooklyn, NY, next Friday December 9th. Our boys Mighty High will also be playing. Come on out, it should be a damned good time.
Last Saturday’s show with Riff Cannon, Olde Growth and Kunz was a barn burner. Except for the part where Scott’s Mesa Boogie blew up.
Our next show is Friday December 16 at Radio in Somerville. We will be playing with the Double Nines and The Scrooges. As with all Scrooges shows, this is bound to be a drunken, raucous time. We hope to see you there!
First off, thanks to the show Heavy Gauge on CHRY at York University in Toronto for the airplay over the last few weeks. They play all sorts of Stoner and Sludge on Thursdays from 1-3PM (EST). You can listen online at http://www.chry.fm.
Second, we have a new show coming up on November 19. We will be playing at O’Brien’s Pub in Allston, MA with Riff Cannon and Olde Growth. This should be a good one as both of those bands slay. We will definitely be playing some new songs, so we are pretty excited for this. Here’s the facebook invite, if you’re so inclined.
Third, we have been busy at the Cortez compound recording and mixing demos of new material. We may post one or two of them here when they are complete, or we may just release the whole demo.
Finally, there may be some news regarding the release of the long rumored new album in the not too distant future. Keep checking back for more details as they become available.
We will be awakening from our slumber to play a show at O’Brien’s in Allston. We’ve hand picked the lineup and it’s going to be a good one. We will be joined by Riff Cannon and Olde Growth. Who knows, we might even play some new songs.
