Hey everyone, what's crackalackin?!! How's the Christmas shopping coming along??? I've been living at the Mission Viejo Mall for the past two days now. Tomorrow I'll be going to South Coast Plaza. I like that mall so much around this time.
Well we have some pretty great news! A music supervisor from an MTV show got in touch with us and said he wants to use our new songs in future episodes!!! He already cut "The Breaking of My Heart" into an episode, and he's trying to get the vocal intro to "The Long Goodbye" in there too. We're totally excited! We'll let you know dates and all that good stuff when we get them.
As for sales of our new songs, we've been struggling to keep up with the demand for the CD. We're burning them and sending them off just as fast as we can! If you haven't yet gotten your copy, read the last news post for details on how to order.
That's it for now!!! Merry Christmas!!!!

The wait is over... it's finally here, and just in time for Christmas! Our brand new songs are finally available for your listening pleasures! :) For now, the only way to get your hands on them is to buy a CD. What we're doing is adding the 3 new songs to the "Memories Made, Times Forgotten" album (which already has 15 songs on it), so there are going to be a whopping 18 songs total... for your listening pleasures of course. That's over an hour of music! But wait, there's more! With your order, we'll write you a little personalized thank you note on the CD sleeve. And if you order within the next 5 minutes, we'll even include a handsome paper carrying case to protect your valuable purchase. Actually, even if you order after 5 minutes, we'll go ahead and throw that in anyway. What can I say... we care about our fans. :) So don't delay, order your copy now... here's how:
Send $5 cash (well concealed, like wrap it in paper. The postman is human too you know!!!) to:
Drowning Fish
P.O. Box 7034
Laguna Niguel, CA 92607-7034
Please tell us it's for the "18 song CD." If you don't, we'll think you're trying to buy 5 of our $1 CDs, and we'll send you 5 of our $1 CDs... which don't include the brand spanking a** new songs. So to recap, $5 CONCEALED cash with a note saying “18 SONG CD.” Girls, feel free to throw in any old polaroid of yourself. Hell, feel free to throw in two! It won't get your order shipped out any faster, but it might get you a little hand-drawn smiley. Tempting I know. -Marc

Hey everyone! Well it took us a lot longer than we expected, but we finally have our three new songs finished and in our hands. We can't wait for you guys to hear them!!! In the last news post, I mentioned that we'd be done on Aug. 27th. Obviously that didn't happen. What did happened was we needed a few extra hours, so went back on the 31st. With our luck though, some studio equipment wasn't working right, so they sent us home and rescheduled us for Sept 15th... Marc's birthday. It was a couple weeks away, but ended up making a great B-day gift. Anyway, we're finally done and really happy with how the songs sound. Stay tuned for news on how to get your hands on the new songs. We'll keep you posted! -Mario

It's the end of July... my favorite month. Actually this year, I liked June better, but anyway... We're going to have our three new songs posted on this site mid August. We were in the studio the 21st and 23rd and have everything done except for mixing. We're going back on August 11th to finish it all up... lets hope!
Our plan is to record more often and post them all on our site. We have a ton of songs that we've always wanted to record but never have. We're even thinking of recording acoustic versions of songs from our last CD. That should be fun! -Mario

Hey guys... hope your summer is starting out great. Make it the best you can because it's the only summer of 2004 you'll ever have. Turn off the TV, computer, and what ever else sucks time out of your life and enjoy this moment. When you look back on your life so many years from now, you're not going to remember the times you spent on the couch or in front of your computer screen... it's the moments you spent with your friends and family you'll cherish most. Make it your best life...
We should have three new songs posted on this site about the third week of July. We were in the studio all day Friday and recorded the lead guitar and bass. We also recorded vocals for "The Long Goodbye" and half of another song we yet have a name for. For now we're calling that song "Down of Love" only because those are the first three words of the song. We need a title. -Mario

Hey everyone! It's summer time again... and we're kicking it off with three new songs! We were in the studio all day Tuesday laying down drum and guitar tracks.

We'll be putting up the songs on the site as soon as we have them done. You can check out the lyrics to our new songs on the Music page. They are the last three songs on the page.

HAPPY EASTER!!! I hope the Easter Bunny brings you all that you asked for... or is that Santa's job??? I get them confused. Anyway, we updated the lyrics to our newest song... which is still untitled. During midnight Easter service I did try thinking of titles, but it was hard to come up with anything cuz I couldn't concentrate with the choir yapping in the background. ;)~ Anyway, we thought the song wasn't really all that it could be, so we added two new verses to it. We stuck the new verses where the old 3rd and 4th verses were, and made those old verses 5th and 6th instead. Get it??? Anyway, I hope you like it. Read them here and let us know what you think!!! -Marc
News: March 12, 2004
Well we have one more song to add to the collection. We just came up with the tune last Tuesday, March 2, and have the lyrics pretty much done. We just need two more lines for the second verse. Also, we might end up adding two more verses, but that might make the song too long… so we’re still thinking about it. This is one of the 3 or 4 songs we’ll be recording very soon, so stay tuned! I hope you like it!!! -Marc

Hey everyone, what's going on??? Not much here... just listening to some Bright Eyes and writing. Well, it's been a little while since we last updated, but not much has been going on besides preparing to record the 3 or 4 songs we'll soon be recording. Lyrics to "The Breaking of My Heart" have been revised, so you might want to check them out. We added 8 lines to the ending chorus, and changed one of the verses. Let us know what you think! -Marc

As for shows, we can't wait to get out there again and tear up the stage... and we will be soon enough. But right now, we're working on some behind-the-scenes stuff like writing, preparing for the studio, trying to get girlfriends... you know, important things. Anyway, I better get going...

Hey people, how ya doin??? Life is busier than hell right now, but I always have time for you… my little peoples. We’re shooting our very first video this weekend! Jason and Jaspre, two film students (not to mention really cool people) will be shooting it. And then we have Ashley… “The Girl.” Every video has to have one of those. Anyway, just wanted to let you know about two additions to the site. The first one is the lyrics to our latest song, “The Long Goodbye.” It’s a song about long goodbyes. Read it and let us know what you think. We’ll be recording it very soon! The second is a picture of my newest heartbreaker… Rachel Bilson. You know… Summer from Fox’s “The OC.” She’s pretty dang hot. It’s probably the worst picture in the world of me, and if it weren’t for her being in it, I would have had it burned. I actually thought about cropping myself out of it, but I knew some girls would cry, so I decided what the hell. The sacrifices I make. Anyway, that’s about it. Until next time!!! -Marc

Me again! Yesterday was pretty crazy. I went to a cast party that Fox's "The OC" was throwing, and that place was a freaking madhouse! I got to meet almost the whole cast, including Josh Schwartz... the creator. Everyone was really cool. I didn't see any egos... well, maybe one. The really coolest ones were Peter Gallagher (the dad), Adam Brody (the dad's son), and Rachel Bilson (the dad's son's future girl).... damn she's fiiiinnneee! I actually liked Mischa Barton (the neighbor) before, but after seeing her yesterday, I realized she is too tall for me. So I'm moving on. :) She actually seemed very overwhelmed by all the people there. She's one of the only ones I didn't get to talk to. That's fine though, cuz I got my picture with Rachel, which I'll be putting up when I get it developed. Hopefully I'm not drooling. ;)~ Anyway, I of course was there promoting Drowning Fish, and they all have a CD now! I forgot the stickers though. :( Oh well, next time I guess.
In other news, things are starting to look really good for the band, so stay tuned! -Marc

Happy Labor Day folks!!!! I'm really not sure what labor day is even about-- whether it's meant to celebrate pregnant ladies in labor, kids that are part of sweatshop labor, minimum wage labor, or what! But whatever it means, any excuse for a day off is a good thing. We just got back from vacationing on the clear blue shores of Waikiki, Hawaii. It was our first time in Hawaii, and sooooo nice. We stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki, which is right on the beach. So in the morning, you just jump out of bed and straight into the water. Technically, you can try to do it from the balcony of your room, but I recommend taking the elevator down. 19 floors is a slightly higher jump than I recommend taking that early in the morning. Anyway, we got back late last night... the vacation is officially over. But we still have the memories... Well, I hope you're all having a nice day off from whatever it is you were supposed to do today. Heat the pool up, rip open that bag of potato chips, barbeque those hot dogs and hamburgers to perfection... and lets celebrate labor!!!! Alright! -Marc

Well, our video shoot has been postponed for a couple weeks. We did a practice shoot last weekend (the 16th and 17th) in Fullerton and at Newport Beach, which is where the real video will be shot. We have already gone through at least 2 girls for the part of "the girl." I'm not exactly sure why or what happened to the other two, but I'm hoping 3 times will be the charm. With Britney back in the studio and busy again, I'm not sure she'll be able to fill in incase anything does happen to... girl #3 (sorry, I'm really bad at names).

It is being directed, created, produced, etc. by Justin and Jaspre, two really cool film students that heard and liked our music, and wanted to shoot a video for us. We'll stream it from our site as soon as we get it, which will probably be a couple months. In the meantime, we'll post behind-the-scenes pictures, and hopefully get some video up as well.
