Hi, guys! We hope you've had a great 4th of July and stuff...we know ours was quite eventful!
We ended up attending the Flower Mound public fireworks display, and sat in the bleachers of the Flower Mound High School, where the event was being held. However, the wind began to blow in our direction, and once the fireworks started going off, the firework debris started hailing all over us! Chunks of what resembled the outer casing of a football (ranging from small to fairly large) showered onto us, causing a panic of hundreds of attendees who immediately started scrambling towards the parking lot. My younger sister (age 14) got a speck of the firework in one of her eyes, apparently hitting her pupil and causing much pain and tears. She was immediately taken to the ambulance, and the fireworks show was soon called off as a result, amid loud "boo"'s from the crowd which remained. Thankfully...her eye's fine.
We gathered up several chunks of the firework encasing, though, and took it home with us (although we heard from a policeman that doing so was illegal...they needed the remnants to conduct an investigation to see what went wrong...sorry Mr. Policeman..don't arrest us?) and we'd post pictures of them, if we only had the time. :)
But yeah...in other news, we've been happily busy wrapping up the studio recordings that we've been working diligently on, and we're proud to say that we've completed the vocals for one of the two tracks! This week we may have time to finish the vocals in the other song, and we should have them both mixed and mastered within a month from now. (a very important finishing touch, for those who don't know much about the process)
We think you'll love the upcoming music, though, and we're praying that many will be able to relate to the lyrics and be inspired to change for the better. We've always been about transforming lives, and we still believe more than ever that music is a great conduit for doing that.
We're also pleased to announce our summer t-shirt sale! If you've wanted to get an awesome Karpenter's Kids t-shirt, but either the price or your own laziness has been keeping you back, now's a GREAT time to get one! For every fan that puts us somewhere in their top friends, we're knocking the shirt prices down to $8 for the "Karpenter's Kids Fan" shirt, and $14 for the "Karpenter's Kids ROCKS" shirt---AND THAT INCLUDES SHIPPING!!!
It's hard to find a band tshirt cheaper than what we're offering for a limited time only...so what are you waiting for? ;)
Send us a message and get yours before the prices go back up.
Peace, love, and safe fireworks,
-Levi
