SIMP DEMO
Simplistic has began working with Mike Shinoda on their demo. The band visited LA in late January to start "pre-production", and recorded the guitars and vocals of the song "High". The band is still deciding on which 3 songs to put on their official Demo CD, produced by Mike. The demo should be completed and out by the summer. Simplistic is currently spending their time working on new songs, and touching up on older ones. Lots is in store for Simplistic... stay tuned.

Fabian also has a brand new site, Killswitch Web that is worth checking out!

NEW REVIEW
I (Jack) just did a review of the show on Saturday the 15th, you can check that out in the reviews section. Also, the size of the croud at Scratch 8 on Saturday was really small. Now that the place is 18+ there weren't as many of the familiar faces we're used to seeing at the shows. So to all of us out there who are still considered minors we need to support Simplistic by getting out to shows that we can still get into. The next big show will be July 27th at the Boardwalk ALL AGES! So EVERYONE should be at that show. Until then, everyone go to the official site and order the cd. Yes it's the same 7 songs that we all love, but with a great new cd designed by Nick Kellog himself, with some help from Matt McInery from thetrc.net. Also, check up on this site in the next couple of days...we will hopefully have some audio up here that some people have been wanting for a while. Hope you'll enjoy.

LIVE VIDEO'S
I added the two videos that were at simplisticmusic.com of Simple Lines and Aimlessly Blind, and one more new one of Far From Found. They are in the Press section, under videos! We wanted to thank Jason Cryderman from crymanfilms.com, who made the videos, for letting us put them on the site. The live mp3's are from those videos also. Thanks Jason!

LIVE MP3'S
I have added a few mp3's to the audio section. I added live versions of "Aimlessly Blind" and "Simple Lines". The quality is decent considering it's from a video camera. Thanks so much to Mike (AIM- Mik3Shinoda) for the mp3's! Check them out!
