9.13.11- Mag Tard Plays Governor’s Tourism Conference
We have never been a band that turns down a chance to play. This morning we headed across the river to the Edgar H. Wilson Convention Center at the Macon Centreplex to play for the Governor’s Tourism Conference. In the end it makes sense, just check out www.maconga.org. That’s us in the banner with The Hay House, cherry blossoms, and Mr. Otis Redding!
With a 7:30 AM soundcheck (that’s right… in the morning), we were pretty sure we landed this gig becuase we are the only band in Macon willing to get up so early. We did an acoustic version of Stayed at Home and the crowd ate it up. Here’s the proof! 9.13.11- Mag Tard @ Governor\’s Tourism Conference

First Friday madness @ the Rookery!!!
$3 cover/ $3 drinks
(Macon, GA) In addition to having the lowest cover charge for live music at 3 dollars a person (accompanied by 3 dollar drink specials), this will be the first opportunity for concertgoers to participate in Mag Tard Chronology: Insight and Origins, a DVD release that will accompany their new record, Did you mean mustard? Concertgoers will have the opportunity to participate in live interviews before/during/after the show that could end up on the DVD release. Come support local music, become a movie star while hanging out at what 11th Hour readers have voted Macon’s “Best Restaurant with a Bar Scene.”
Both releases are due out in late Spring 2011 on Macon Noise Records with album packaging/design by local artist Craig Burkhalter.

Gangsta Gang Vocals
Big thanks to Mr. Clark Bush for helping us track the first Tard gang vocal last night.
Shout out to all of the following folks for lending their wicked shouting skills for the new record:
Forbes Gary, Will Gary, Shawn Williamson, Lacey Hortman, and Alex Donahue.
Paul Simon sang it best:
If you’ll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Al wants you to know that Gangsta Tard vocals may be more gangsta than the O.G himself.
In other news, mixing is coming along swimmingly and we have a few more shows coming up with even more TBA very soon…

Tonight @ the CCT in Macon, Ga.
We will be sharing the stage with Citizen Insane and Jubee and the Morning After this evening for the first Bragg Jam presents… show.
It’s an all ages show.
5 bucks at the door and all profits from the door go towards making Bragg Jam bigger and better this year.
Here’s the website for one of the coolest venues in Macon:

The weather outside is frightful
But we’re soo delightful. Or not.
In any event, we have finished tracking over ten tracks and have entered the mixing and mastering phase with Glow in the Dark Studios in Atlanta. Michael Collins from Back City Woods has helped us fix the the website and we’re off the ground.
Look for us in the next Out and About regarding our upcoming show at the Mellow Mushroom.
Now let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Recording
Tonight is our last practice before recording up at Star Motel Records this weekend. We have 4 new tracks that we are hoping to get done – a bit ambitious for sure. Think happy thoughts!
Aside from a surprise acoustic performance at the Rookery for Sunday’s open mic night – we haven’t played out very much locally lately. We will hopefully be playing in December at the Golden Bough (and possibly other venues) with New Years eve still up in the air.
Most of our energies have been directed at writing and recording these last few months, hopefully 2011 will see us playing out a lot more!
This blogging thing is pretty tough – hopefully I will get better at it as time goes by.
Peace!

Mag Tard
Well here it is … mostly. Still a work in progress (kinda like the band) we now have our own website with some stuff on it. Also, we have a facebook page and a myspace page because we are just that cool.
There will be more soon. This is a good first step – ya think?
