Haven't posted in a while, as Lotus Isle hasn't been doing much lately. We did play a few shows last month. One was at the Bite of Oregon, the other was at Pioneer Square, opening for The Motels. Which reminds me, I now play bass for The Motels! We had some great summer trips to the East Coast, California and Las Vegas. Got to play a show with Berlin, Flock of Seaguls, and Gene Loves Jezebel. Also got to do a Vegas gig opening for Dennis De Young, who used to be in Styx. Tripppppy.
I'm starting to work on the next Lotus Isle recording, which will hopefully be a full length release this time around. I've been upgrading my home studio, and hope to record and mix the entire thing myself. I may bring in Jeff Saltzman (who mixed the "bandmates EP") to rescue me if I find myself too far down the sonic Rabbit Hole.
I'm also about 1/3 of the way done tracking the new Michael Jodell album. Mikey is a member of Lotus Isle, and an incredible singer/songwriter in her own right. You should check her out here: www.myspace.com/michaeljodell if you haven't already.
Well, that's about all the news I have. Not sure if anyone even reads this thing. But at least it doubles as a band diary!

Band Bio
- Lotus Isle
- Portland, OR, United States
- Enlisting a bunch of long time friends, Portland OR's Lotus Isle was formed in 2008 by Matt Brown. The goal was to mine a more subdued vein of the rock tradition and drench it in slap-back delay, tiny tube amps, nylon string guitars, and Bigsby Vibratos. The result is their debut, "bandmates EP", which was recorded almost entirely in Brown's bedroom and mixed by Portland's own audio wiz-kid, Jeff Stuart Saltzman.
