   May 2002 -- Not yet finding anyone clever and foresighted enough to sign The Invertebrates, Mort and Tom have decided to go ahead and issue a thousand copies of Garagezilla on their own Spineless label. We hope soon to have a page where you can order them online (along with all our other in-print albums). Watch this space for further developments.

   Sep 2001 -- Mort and Larissa had a beautiful baby girl on July 10, Rose Shirley was 8lbs-5ozs (now she's 10-9), and they are all very sleepy but happy. Meanwhile, around a hundred prototypical copies of Garagezilla were produced (with graphics by Krista, Pad, and Tom), and the search for a label continues.

    July 2001 -- 80 "Advance Copy" CDs have been made and are being distributed to contributing artists, friends, and even a few record labels.

    May 2001 -- Garagezilla is finished! Now we beginning the process of trying to find a label to put it out. If we can't find one by the fall we'll press a thousand for Spineless. Either way, keep an ear out!

    March 2001 -- First Tom moved, now Mort and Larissa have moved to Santa Cruz county where they have 7.5 acres of mixed evergreen forest and are expecting a baby in July. But the mixing is now finished, next is mastering, and the Garagezilla CD should be out by summer!

    mid-October to early December 1999 -- As the mixes of the songs from Garagezilla emerge, we will post playable files in the atrocious RealAudio format (you didn't really expect MP3s before the CD is even released, did you?) The first mixes to be posted are: Anthem 77, Can't See Your Way, Drunk, Exit 56, and Garagezilla

    early October 1999 -- It took a little longer than expected, but the train has pulled into the next station at last. The tracks for Garagezilla have been transferred from analog tape to ADAT, and the mixdowns should commence the first week of this month. We're working again with the skilled studio steerer Tom Mallon of Grifter Records (check out his cool website!), and hope to emerge shortly with a few CDs to demo with some real labels before we finally have to give in and issue it on Spineless.

    July 1999 -- The rubber soul train keeps on chugging away. The studio down in Tom's garage has been vibrating with the sounds of The Invertebrates' next CD, Garagezilla, which we've been recording for the last few months. The medium is entirely analog, half-inch 8 track reel-to-reel tape (those old TEACs really hold up!), and the instrumentation is fairly basic, but we're pretty happy with the material and the performances. We should have all the recording done in a couple of months (Tom is moving in August, so we've finally got a deadline to get us off our butts), and then it's off to a real studio for the mixdowns! Stay tuned for future developments.
