Half-way beards

July 30th, 2008 by Collin

This past week we passed a great benchmark in the beard timeline - the half-way mark. It’s hard to believe (I say this to you who don’t think about it every day like I do) that it’s already been almost 4 weeks (tomorrow). But it has. I do have one small confession to make: I shaved a little off the mustache. Some unruly facial hair was driving me absolutely crazy and since the lip hair (really corners-of-the-mouth hair) isn’t essential to a glorious beard I buzzed it for my own sanity.

In non-beard news, we will be laying down the vocals for the album in the coming week. We’ve finally finished about 99% of the editing (for the instruments at least) and started on the mixing. It’s shaping up to be one great sounding album. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it. We’re also coming close to having a release date and album title. I will keep you informed on both of those bits of information as well.

Here are your long awaited beard pics. Since my beard photo creativity has plummeted (some might say “never existed”) feel free to send me some ideas. Keep in mind that I have to take the pictures with the camera on my MacBook so exotic location shots are fairly out of the question : )

About [insert witty title]

Although the Collin Derrick Band calls South Carolina home, there is nothing southern about their rock. With influences including Ben Folds, Muse and Radiohead, they combine unorthodox song writing with heavy piano rock and melodic guitar hooks. Playing venues like New Brookland Tavern (Columbia, SC), Tasty World (Athens, GA) and several upstate South Carolina stages, their energetic presence engages the audience, making their shows a true musical experience.
