Botany Bay

Botany Bay is Eric of The Secret Life Of SoFia's side project. Eric sent me a five song demo the other day, which I can't seem to stop listening to. Instead of the upbeat pop of TSLOS, Botany Bay's songs are mellow and dreamy. Fans of Earlimart, Metal Hearts, and quieter Death Cab would love this. You can listen to all five songs at Myspace.

Botany Bay had their live debut at one of the Neon Lights shows last weekend, but I was unable to go and they currently do not have any other upcoming shows. I might have to take matters into my own hands.

Speaking of The Secret Life of Sofia, they have posted a great new song, "Untitled aka F Song", at their Myspace. They also have two local shows coming up(!):

Tues July 17 - Annex w/ Domino, Secret History, The States
Wed Aug 8 - Union Hall w/ The Dry Spells & Inlets

Set times for the show next Tues:

8p The Secret Life of Sofia
9p the states
10p Secret History
11p domino
