We have moved the main source of info on the band here to our official website, away from Reverb Nation and other 3rd party music sites. We need to have ONE location for our fans, making it as easy for YOU to keep tabs on us. Enjoy!

We recently released the album version of Carousel, you can find it on the Music page of our website here. We are mixing down several other songs, and have some new releases on the way.
We also are starting to book shows in NY and NJ for the late spring and for the summer. We're looking forward to seeing you all rock out with the Carnival! Plans are in place to buy equipment to start producing band t-shirts, posters, etc. Sometime hopefully before summer, we will have our merch ready to roll out, along side our debut album, Carousel! Big things are on the horizon for The Carnival of Shadows - from auditions to mixing down tracks for the album and looking at booking shows for 2015, all good stuff on the way. More news as it comes along!
We have 7 tracks recorded, ready to just have vocals added to them, which is good. Our drummer, Pat, decided he wanted to focus on his day job career and leave music, which is bad.
So we have half an album, but our trio is currently a duo, dynamic as we are. We are currently looking for a replacement drummer, so if you or anyone you know is a drummer looking to get into a work band with a following, and lives within an hour of Asbury Park, NJ, let us know! We have started laying down tracks for the debut album, Carousel. We have 7 songs' worth of drum tracks recorded, and the guitar and bass parts will be added next week. Good progress going on around here.
In other news, we just announced our most recent show on October 2nd, at The Saint in Asbury Park, NJ. Come see us live! Today we tried out our newly purchased drum mic kit. We figured we'd attempt to see if we can record our music ourselves without the need for a studio, and you know what? It went pretty well. A few learning curves along the way, but overall the drums recorded nice and crisp, which is the hard part. Miking up bass and guitar amps afterwards is super easy.
So what does this all mean? This means that Carousel, our debut full-length album, is being recorded shortly, and might even see a release before the summer is out! We are amped to hear such good quality recordings of our music, and we think you will be too! Huge thank you for the great turnout for our show at the Brighton Bar on Friday! It was a fun show, we have new pictures up on the front page. We also have some video footage of the band, which we are currently scanning through, and will add to our YouTube channel soon. Stay tuned for future show announcements!
We're looking forward to the show next week at the Brighton Bar, in Long Branch, NJ. This is the first show with Pat behind the kit for us. His enthusiasm to play for you all is awesome! The doors open at 6:30 PM, cover/tickets are $12. Make sure you tell the doorman that The Carnival of Shadows sent ya! We are trying out our fully mobile acoustic setup for the first time tomorrow. This setup allows us to set up and play ANYWHERE in 5 minutes. You might find us on a boardwalk, in the NYC subway stations, in the middle of a forest, wherever! |
