Hi Kids!!

Been a while since we checked in and gave you an update. I don't think it matters, cause nobody reads this crap anyway! However if you are reading this, you'd be happy to know that KiNDERGARTEN is going into the studio this weekend to record basic tracks for 12 new songs!! Each song will then be completed one at a time, and released as such; one at a time. You will be able to download each individual song for free. Or if you come see us live, you will recieve free sample CD's of the new songs, given away with copies of "River of Slime"

Stay Tuned!!

Hi Kids!!

We are very excited to have been invited to play Bleecker Street's famed BITTER END!! For real this time, no CMJ double booking fiasco will stand in our way.

But this gig ain't no walk in the park. . . we need the support of you, our loving friends to show up and give the man $5. If we can get enough of you there, and impress the owners, and make him think we're actually a real band with a real following, we could get invited back again and again. Then we could play the Bitter End on weekends! Yes that's right weekends! And you know what that means? TOURISTS! Tourists spend money! And if we get money, we can record new songs, and make new t-shirts and make a music video and buy a van, and pay our phone bills.

SO COME ON DOWN TO THE BITTER END!!

Tuesday 12/18/07 @ 9PM 147 Bleecker Street (Bet Thompson & La Guardia) $5 18+

The #1 goal of any good band is to gain a loving following in their own hometown. but when your hometown is New York City, (the non-cultural capitol of the world) it's next to impossible to do. That's why KiNDERGARTEN has devised a plan to make it easy for our New Yorkers to come find us. We're gonna be at the same place, on the same day, at the same time, evry single month.

After a year of recording, mixing, and budget problems, "River of Slime", KiNDERGARTEN's debut album is finally finished. The album features 10 tracks, and is a composite of our earlier songs. We really think you're gonna like it. No, love it. As a matter of fact, we'd love to hear what you think! Drop us a line on the KiNDER-FORUM, and have a word with us. Tell us how you like it, Tell us off, tell us to go shove it, tell us you want Zach's babies!

You could find the CD form of River of slime in August. Orders will be available through our website, CD baby, and iTunes. In the meantime, you can download tracks through the MySpace SNOCAP store, or on digstation.com

We are testing the waters of the 'Schwick, but you are welcome to come show your support. Tomorrow night, we will be at the Delancey with our dear friends, The Statues of Liberty, along with a great line0up of other bands. Come down and party with us.

The long awaited debut album from KiNDERGARTEN is finally reaching is last stages of development. "River" has been in production for almost a year, and will hopefully be in the shelves by the official anniversary of Recording Day 1. (June 4th). Why did it take so long, you ask? Are we picky perfectionists? We were lazy? Did Ariel get fired from his job at the Recording Studio? You decide. All these questions, and more, will be answered when "River of Slime" hits shelves, cyberspace, and limewire in June. In the meantime, check out the mixes that are in development. Be a part of a work in progress!!
