Back in business, y'all. Spent the day together going through tons of video and shot some footage for our upcoming video log...Breaking Laces TV. Our live album, Live at Seaside is being printed and will be available November 11th. Our new album set for release in early 2010 (as yet untitled, though we have a pretty good idea of the name) is being mastered today by the best in the business...Bob Ludwig. We will be also be hitting the road for a bit next week. Our long sojourn in the studio has come to an end and we are going to blow your freakin heads off. Enjoy.

09.26.2009 News and Shows
What is up? Hope everyone had a great summer! We at Breaking Laces headquarters would like to update you on some coming and goings and give you the layout of what’s going on. Here’s a little info on what we are recording, where we will be playing, how you can hear us streamed live this Wednesday and some updates as well.
Music: First off, for those of you who haven’t heard, we are at the tail end of completing our new full-length album, as yet untitled of course. Mixing and Mastering will go down this month and after the holiday season and a flurry of marketing preparation, it will be available in the early Spring of 2010. Don’t fret however. We in Breaking Laces land have a treat to hold you over until then and will be releasing a live album, titled “Live at Seaside.” It was recorded and released for mp3 on a limited basis a year or so ago, but we have had it remastered into high fidelity and will be packaging it and having it available at shows and online in both digital and physical formats.
Shows: Oh yeah, those things! We will be heading out early November for an extended fall tour, but have a couple of things lined up for the week before we mix the new album. We are playing mostly in the Buffalo area but the trek involves a live on-air so you can watch us live as we play.
Check us out Wednesday night at 8:00 PM www.wbfo.org/border/concerts.php3
Details on the show page as usual..playing Wednesday, Friday, Saturday in Buffalo, Jamestown and Albion, New York respectively.
09.26.2009 New Emails A Coming
In a little bit of logistical news, we will also be switching our “email sending system” from our trusty AOL address server to a fancy and shiny new EPK type format powered by Reverb Nation. This new system will allow us to be in touch with you more frequently and be a resource for y’all to hear new music, see new videos and all that fun stuff. It will be linked to all the Twitters, Facebooks and Myspaces of the world, so everything Laces will be available in an efficient and fun package. The base email will still come from breakinglaceshq@aol.com, but be sure to double check your spam filters just in case.
09.08.2009 Breaking Laces Live in Brooklyn This Thursday Sept 10th
We would like to cordially invite you to a special acoustic show this Thursday, September 10th in Brooklyn. The show is part of “Fashion’s Night Out,” a worldwide event held in twelve countries to spur retail sales in order to support the fashion industry. The show is taking place at Brooklyn Industries on Smith Street in the heart of Williamsburg.
Why else is this so special? Well, we will be there rocking with one of our favorite bands, Scout, and since their wonderful singer Ashen recently did some vocal lines on our new album, chances are we’ll be doing some collaboration. Plus we will be debuting some songs from the amazing new album set for release in early 2010 and showcasing our rootsy acoustic chops.
If that’s not cool enough, there will be free cocktails, wine and cheese and if you are shopper; special discounts and sneak peaks at winter collections. The event is co-hosted by Vogue, Conde Nast, the City of New York and many others and should be a total blast. Oh, and supermodels too. I think. The event is free, but you have to RSVP. Details on the show page...
09.06.2009 New Press
We're in the lab getting our set ready for Fashion's Night Out this thursday. Hopefully those of you local to us can make it out! In the meantime, Seth and Billy have donated their words to a blog called "Musicians Talking Sports". Patriots vs Giants. Check it out in the press section!
08.06.2009 Laces Live in NYC this Friday the 7th
Hey all, quick reminder that Breaking Laces will be playing NYC's Delancey this Friday night at 9:30PM. Come join us for a ridiculous good time at the layer cake that is the Delancey (grungy downstairs music room, upscale bar on the middle floor, and airy super chill roof patio).
We wanted to take the opportunity to bring months of our studio work to the stage and we probably won't be playing much until CMJ in October so definately make it a night and check us out. We go on at 9:30 and the Delancey usually runs on time. Details on the show page...
07.20.2009 Last Minute Show!
As you may or may not know we have been holed up in some of NYC's best studios the last three months making the album of our dreams (and hopefully yours).
Well, we finally got a day off and guess what happens? Yup we get a call tonight (monday) to play a show tomorrow (tuesday).
Our good friends in the publishing industry are hosting a showcase and a band fell out and we fell in.
So, if you can make it, feel free to join us for an intimate set at the Rodeo Bar and hear us let loose the tiger that has been in its studio cage for months.
Details on the shows page. We will also be playing the Delancey in NYC on Friday, August 7th and will be debuting some amazing new songs that we've recorded.
We'll bust out a few nuggets tomorrow as well.
