What? It’s 2007? You mean we didn’t even post a single news item in all of 2006?! Well, um, you see, there’s a very simple explanation: We spent the last year working on a career change, from fronting a two-man band to the more nuanced role of back-up singers. After 11 solid months of developing and fine-tuning our doo-wops and weedle-eep-boops, we had a bit of a coming-out party in December, thanks to our good friend and bassist/producer extraordinaire Mikael Jacobson. Recognizing a perfect union of singing styles, Mikael teamed the former Chip & Drifty — now known as The Chip & Drifty Singers — with rising star Micah Ramos, for a heartfelt holiday serenade. You can download it here. And since we’re so late posting it, you can consider it a very early holiday gift for 2007.

In other news, Chip & Drifty took a trip to the desert in December to write some music. Weird thing is, hanging out in a luxurious house on the edge of a golf course drinking wine seems to have worked. We actually finished a song, which means we’re officially working on the next album. Next news update in 2009!
