Distant Towers machine is still chugging along

Well, how the heck did 2011 slip by so quickly?  And now we are well into 2012. 

So our lineup has remained the same since the last half of 2010....
Tom McCaffrey:  Vocals, lyrics, bass, synths, Sonar mixing
Preston Richardson:  Drums, percussion, synths
Tony Wood:  Guitars, guitar synths, vocals

We have accrued enough material for two CDs that we have yet to master and release.  The first will be the last songs with Robbie Brunjes as our drummer...ending with Hello.  The second will be a CD with our current drummer, Preston Richardson....starting with SAAMA.  We hope to release the first of these two CDs by the end of 2012.  We don't have a time frame for the second.

We will also be attempting to update our website soon.

Our latest song is a little quirky for DT but will soon be followed by a tune a deeper DT vibe.

The latest song is Shattered and you can listen to it here....

Stay tuned for a new song sometime in May.  It is called Ask Myself.

See ya,

Distant Towers strikes again!!!

The latest song by Distant Towers is now available here.  It is called Bounce (the song, not the CD) and features Preston "Presto" Richardson on drums, percussion and sitar.....what....uh....wait, since when do drummers play sitar????  Oh well, however he did, it sounds cool.  So head on over for a listen and
BANG THE BONG LIKE MEGATRON!!!!!!

Presto pounds the cans!!!!

Since late spring 2010, DT has been working closely with drummer, Preston "Presto" Richardson.  He has appeared on songs such as Hello, Broken Foe, SAAMA and the upcoming song Bounce (the song).  More on Preston later....

Second Distant Towers CD called Bounce is now available

SAAMA song and video

Greeting folks.  The most recently completed DT song is available and there is a video for it as well here.  Enjoy the crazy ride!!

new Distant Towers tune is forthcoming

Within the next 7 days a new tune by Distant Towers will be released.  It is called Dive 2 the Middle.  This is a tune from April 2010 developed live by Tom, Tony and Robbie at Distant Towers South.  Final tracks were completed in June.  Tony helmed the mixing for this one with a lot of advice and guidance from Tom.

This tune will be the seventh towards a third CD of Distant Towers material.  It is not clear at this time whether our 3rd CD will consist of these tunes but it is likely. 

Look for a link to the tune here very soon.

Mastering for Bounce has commenced

Tom recently delivered the nine tunes for the Bounce CD to Tony for mastering.  The first master version was created on July 17, 2010 and is currently being critiqued.  We fully expect to have a finished CD in our hands by the end of September, start of October.

We have plans for a new website to coincide with the new album although the current website pages will still be available through a special link or several links once the new site goes live.

Tom is currently wading into the world of graphics to formulate and execute the concept for Bounce CD package so that it will be ready in time to send to the duplicator with the finished master disc.

Many thanks to all our various friends and family members who have lent an ear to this group of tunes as they were created.  The last tune for this CD was finished in October 2009.  We purposely waited until summer 2010 to start mastering the CD in order to give us some objectivity on the tunes as well as allowing us time in the intervening 8 months to make some more tunes and have some fun playing together.
