5/10/06 - Wow, it's been way too long since our last post here. We've been busy in the Muzzy camp, we bought an in-ear monitor system for everyone in the band. It's helped us tighten up a lot and we've been able to develop more vocal parts for the songs. It's amazing what a difference it's made. We've really been working hard to become as solid of a band as we can be.

We've been getting out and doing some shows lately too. We had a good show at AR3
in Arena and we'll be booking another show there soon. We also went on the air with
Johnny, Greg and Mary at WJJO for the Capitol K-9 Marathon and played a few songs
from Divine acoustically. At the end of April we played with a great band from
Texas called Deaf Pedestrians at Big E's and Sunday night at the Annex we got to
do our second show with King's X who were excellent as always.

We have new t-shirts which we'll have up on the merchandise page soon. There's
quite a few styles of men's and ladies shirts. You can get them at any upcoming Muzzy
show.

There's some exciting stuff coming soon. We have quite a few big things in the works.
Stay tuned for more info coming soon.

Come on out to our show this Saturday at Club Tavern in Middleton and see what we've been up to...

8/25/05 - Muzzy's new CD, "Divine Intermission" has been completed! After countless hours of mixing, the final mixes were sent to Nashville's Yes Master for mastering. The band also met with Mike Kerwin at Nuclearview to finalize the CD artwork. We will have the final master in our hands on September 9th and will then send the complete package out for duplication. The CD will first be available at Rokker Records.com, a local iTunes type of pay-per-download site, in the next couple of weeks. The actual CDs will be available soon at the Muzzy website and at a multitude of other locations locally and on the internet. A CD release party is being planned and will be announced soon...

7/18/05 - We've had quite a few cool shows since our last post. Both shows on the Union Terrace were a great experience. The band has wanted to play up there for a long time and ended up playing two shows within one week. We also had a well-received show at Maxwell Street Days this past Saturday. It was incredibly hot and Mike got the worst of it but we had a great time. Thanks to all of the cool people who signed up for our e-mail list and thanks to Brett for getting us on the bill. We're glad to be getting out and playing new material from the upcoming CD, which is still being toiled over at the moment. I think we'll finally be able to let go and release it very soon....in the meantime, don't miss our show at the Dane County Fair this Thursday at 7pm!

6/19/05 - Thanks to all who made it out to Fall River this past Saturday to see us. It was nice to get out and play again and the band plans on booking more shows soon. We'll be playing a lot to promote the new CD including multiple CD release parties and some big outdoor shows this summer. The mixing for the CD is now complete and we'll be spending the next couple of weeks doing the final touchups, mastering, duplication and finally get this released. The album art is 99% finished and looks great thanks to Ken's artwork and Mike Kerwin's layout. We are pushing the release date back to July but it will be well worth the long wait. After working on this for as long as we have, we really want to make sure everything is as good as can be. The band has a plan for reforming our ways though and we'll be completing our next releases in a much shorter time frame. We already have some stuff ready to go for the next one which will most likely be an EP. Stay tuned for details on the final release date for "Divine Intermission" coming very soon and don't miss our first ever appearance at the Memorial Union Terrace on July 1st!!
