Mammoth Life
Happy New Year!! (December 2011 - January 2012) Submitted by Mammoth Life on Wed, 01/11/2012 - 14:49

Here's to the bonafide year that 2011 turned out to be!!  With the release of our Rock N' Roll Kids - EP, a successful Kickstarter campaign, complete tour of the entire midwest, west, and west coast, and a cross country move from Lawrence to San Francisco; ML couldn't be happier.  But as always... with every mountaintop scaled, there still lies even more still to be tackled.  We are intent on continuing our acsent; rung by rung/ song by song/ note by note.  Thanks to everyone who made this possible, our family, friends, and extended family, ie all the bands along the way.

 

Thank you Hospital Ships, Jumbling Towers, Talking Mountain, Cloud Dog, Cowboy Indian Bear, Panda Circus, Haunt Ananta, Kissing Party, Musical Charis, Bellafonte, Ornery Little Darlings, Fingers Of The Sun, The Black Fortys, Continents, High Diving Ponies, Tut Tut, Sleeping In The Aviary, Little Brazil, and all of the other countless bands who helped us have a bunch of kick ass shows in 2011.

 

Thanks to the Lawrence Music Scene and all the venues (Jackpot, Replay, Taproom, Record Bar) record stores (Love Garden, Kieffs) publications (I Heart Local Music, Larryville Chronicles, lawrence.com, The Pitch, Too Much Rock, and Oh! Snap! Photography) and radio stations (96.5 The Buzz aka Sonic Spectrum, 90.7 FM KJHK) for your support and love.  We miss you all already!

 

Also, thanks to Mates Of State for your invaluable and intangible acts of inspiration.  Thanks for the "nudge" towards SF.

 

 

We ushered in 2012 with some of our closest friends, Bradly and Joe from Haunt Ananta, who visisted us in SF for a week.  They are currently residing in Lawrence working on some killer jams.  Thanks for everything homies!  See you sooner rather than later I hope!!

 

 

2012 is already looking very promising!!  We've been writing new songs and building demos for our upcoming third full-length album.  This release will be self-titled, simply Mammoth Life.  Not exactly sure when it will be released... but we are spending a great amount of time, energy, and effort assembling the pieces to the puzzle right now as we speak.  We are also at the moment, interviewing a handful of SF and Bay Area drummer and bass players with the hopes of performing many shows with ML as a four piece in and around the Bay Area over the next year.  Rehearsals and practice will begin within the next few weeks... look for shows from us sometime in February/ March!!

 

 

Here's to having the best year to-date in ML's career this year!!  We look forward to sharing it with all of you in the coming months.  

ML's Rock N' Roll Kids - EP, Kickstarter Project Submitted by Mammoth Life on Sat, 05/21/2011 - 10:20

Mammoth Life is in the midst of releasing their brand new Rock N' Roll Kids - EP this summer followed by a 30 date tour of the entire midwest, west, and west coast on the back of the release.  Following that tour will be a cross country band-move to San Francisco this fall!!  To help support the release, we've posted our project on Kickstarter!!

 

ML is hoping to fund the recording, mixing, and mastering of the EP as well as the subsequent tour merchandising (ie ML heart logo t-shirts/ vinyl stickers/ and buttons).  The release party and tour kick off for the ML release, will be on Thursday, July 28th at The Jackpot Music Hall in Lawrence, KS with area staples Cowboy Indian Bear, and Cloud Dog.
