what's been happening.

i've been a blogging failure last month.  but it's for good reason.  i know i usually reserve this space for all my fleeting thoughts and general insecurities, but i thought maybe an explanation was necessary.  especially for my one very dedicated follower (thanks, Lace-Face... oh, and Mom).  here you go-- you're in the loop.

as of one month ago, i went from having one baby project to two toddler projects.  mallory graham and her invisible friends is going through a transitional phase-- new members (although you can't see them) are about to be trading in, new recordings are about to be made (end of july), touring in St. Louis is scheduled for september, show dates are being arranged in Asheville for october, and of course the constant of songwriting and planning for the next record (i can't give you the name, yet.  it's kind of an invisible secret).  you can still keep updated on those show dates, etc. at www.reverbnation.com/mallorygrahamandherinvisiblefriends 

of course, i wouldn't even mind if you liked me on facebook while i'm working so hard to bring you delicious jams www.facebook.com/mallorygrahamandherinvisiblefriends.  thanks to bandmate Mike Shannon so delicately prostituting himself out to facebook, we have earned almost 200 fans in one month.  join the movement (or some other motivational phrase).

i'm growing out a teeny tiny hipster ponytail.  also, i have been cutting off jeans and wearing my woody allen-esque glasses more often to appear more aloof and therefore more appealing as a musician.  for you.

ah, yes.  and project #2.  i have teamed up with current bandmate Scott Tyler (http://scotttyler.tumblr.com/) to form a sad-song-singing, chord-organ-and-potentially-bicycle-wheel-playing duo called The Rough & Tumble (you can decide who is who).  we purchased a toy piano yesterday.  we've been writing for weeks.  we have recording dates and shows approaching. we've had photo and video shoots.  busy.  more to come.  you can go to our website if you want, but you won't find much yet.  www.reverbnation.com/theroughtumble. don't worry, i'll keep you updated.

okay, aside from various dirty laundry and walking my dog, you're filled in.  i'll do better this time.  probably.  mostly.  i think.
