Website news / LP update

Posted on February 7, 2012 by scotty fuse

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 can 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.
