So Meg & Dia have a Tumblr, and there was an interesting post from Dia…I didn’t know that they were dropped from their label, Warner Bros. Records. I’ve been seeing tweets from them about Dia looking for jobs, not getting hired, etc. I was wondering, “Why would they need jobs? Aren’t they doing really well?” At least I thought so…
The following is from this post, written by Dia.
“It’s frightening every time reality sinks in, and it does so often lately, that I take a hit for the worse, not because I have not felt the weight of it before, but that I still think too optimistically, which usually clouds my rationality”
“Most of my friends have graduated from college or are about to by the end of this year and suddenly I felt so behind. Most of them have “grown up” jobs that bring in “grown up” income, and are happy and are focused and are settled. I feel like I am just beginning all over again.”
“Now, of course, more details on what you all are most interested in, hopefully. How recording was and yes it is true. We recorded at a cabin in Tillamook, Oregon in the middle of the woods. We paid for it ourselves through our savings and did everything ourselves this time. We hired a young friend, our age, to help co-produce and engineer, and set up the studio in the tiny cabin. (Poor Nick had to sleep on an air mattress on the floor by Jonathan and Carlo). There was no room in the living room and there were chords and wires everywhere. We all huddled around the drums and amps every night to watch the NBA play offs.
“To our dear faithful fans, thank you for sticking by us. Especially the ones who knew us from “Our home is gone” era. Don’t think we have forgotten you or pushed your comments aside. Just for you, we recorded some special acoustic songs. …. we’ll show you soon. xo”
You can listen to just about every song they have here, but still:
Please, please, please support this band!
