Hopefully on tour we can find some gas station windows that rival these in their clarity and Spiritual Unity... but I don't think we're going back through Wyoming.

We are coming America! in a matter of weeks we shall be at your door. Please have margaritas ready and couches un-infested with mutant lice! The Foreign Born touring machine, a van that runs on grease that we are stealing from Dios Malos, will be rolling in on fumes smelling most like french-fries and well - like America..
We will have our new album "On THE WING NOW" up our sleeves like packs of dirty cards. Please buy them and help us exist!
We're trying to help you!

How To Make A Record At Home

First things first, Greg Calbi is mastering our record out in NYC this week! Check his stats HERE, he's done it all!

We've found the title but are still searching for some art...We'll let you know as soon as it's all finished up. Until then, enjoy this tutorial, brought to you by our manager Kevin K. a.k.a., Big-Buckz:



Inspirational posters in your tiny apartment studio, "where it all happens"...



Pro-Tools rig, pre-amps, compressors etc...



Cables & wires for all sorts of various gadgets and instruments...



Closet turned isolation booth for recording singing, hand clapping, tambourines, shakers, bells and guitars....



Safe place by the window to store your masters...



Tongue drum and some turntables to make Chopped & Screwed versions of your first 7".

Summer BBQ



We rang in August with a gathering at our house- barbeque-in', drinkin', ping pongin' and listenin' to some jams. The night ended with a birthday cake for our pal Adrian. Check the progress of the event as told by digital photos.: (By the way, if anyone knows how to properly gets dem coals hawt, please email Ariel and do let him know...)

Talladega Nights

Foreign Born took a field trip to Talladega Nights with In Waves, The Blood Arm, and some other friends. We took up an entire row and the movie was nothing short of phenomenal. I guess it also wouldn't be Los Angeles without the celebrities- it's true, the stars were there, these two blessed us with their presence.:

Bro, Kevin Bronson of his BUZZ BANDS column of the LA Times wrote on June 22, 2006:
'...Foreign Born, opening for Giant Drag, helped break in the new sound system (bring earplugs) at the Silverlake Lounge on Tuesday. Foreign Born's full-length debut is being mixed; meanwhile, the band has a new four-song EP, "Loud Times of the Valley," that features a cover of Townes Van Zandt's "Waitin' Around to Die.".... ACTUALLY KEV, as of that very show, the limited edition "Loud Times" EP is officially out of print! Thanks to everyone who bought one- yer lucky!

Download "Waitin' Around To Die" here:

Ariel and Matt somehow found themselves at a high-class Hollywood party about 2:30 am last week and spotted FB's official favorite member of the cast of 'Arrested Development". Look at Matt's grin- life's good!

Foreign Born Live at Walter's on Washington

Look at this! - we found ourselves on Youtube.com! a gratifying moment for any band mingling through the depths of 2006.
Here we are in Texas on the first date of our tour with We Are Scientists, peforming our hit song "Trial Wall". It's gonna be on the new album..

We have recently been handed a truckload of beautiful photographs from our friend Malia James who spent a few days with us while we were on our UK tour with Giant Drag. We thought, as a band, collectively, that you might like to see them, atleast for art's sake, if not for FB's.. So here are a few, and if they speak to you, check out MaliaJames.com and see what else she's done 'cuz it's all splendid. -FB.

Why yes- we've finally made it back to the states. Although the So. Cal sun shines bright, we must admit that we do miss our beloved Dear Olde Blighty....Many thanks to our friends, W.A.S. and Giant Drag, the tour was 'Ace', we can't wait to return... A new friend, whom we met at the Portsmouth Pyramids, send us this lovely photo collage of her autographed hand so we'll nvr 4gt!!! p.s.: 3 new shows added, California and Arizona!

HEY, we just added another, last minute gig in London.
We hope to see you there!
