Meet the New Guy

Important personal message from Tony

It is with a heavy heart that I, Tony, personally announce the departure of Nick Wosika from Junebug.

Nick was an invaluable asset to our band, performing numerous behind-the-scenes actions, such as professional photography, studio and live show booking, poster/flyer design, promotion and initiative. Nick got his family involved on our most recent album, which included great contributions from his mother, niece and wife. He first played with Junebug in July 2008 and in the past two years he became a very good friend to my wife and me.

Nick was let go from Junebug this week based upon irreconcilable creative differences with some of the members of the band. It was not a decision made lightly and it was not entirely unanimous.

I want to personally thank Nick foremost for his friendship and for all his hard work and dedication these past two years. I want to thank Anna and Cooper, his wife and son, for their love and support. I also want to thank anyone and everyone that supported this band simply because Nick was part of it. We have enjoyed your support, and I understand if we no longer have you.

It's been fun, buddy. I'll miss you.

Junebug Goes Pink

Junebug went pink at a recent event to raise funds in the fight against breast cancer. Junebug, along with two other musical artists and numerous door-prize donors, raised over $1,000 for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure. The event was organized by Victoria Stromme, who will be personally walking thirty miles over three days to help raise awareness and funds to bring us even closer to a cure.

Album Update

Modern Day Fairy Tales is recorded and fully mixed. The next steps are mastering, artwork and printing. We hope to have the album in hand by the end of May, but are not making promises.

Junebug is in the studio

Junebug is now in the midst of the studio process at Fur Seal studio in Minneapolis. Drums and bass have all been tracked for Modern Day Fairy Tales and the rest will be tracked next week. Keep up to date on the studio goings on by reading the Junebug Studio Diaries.

Modern Day Fairy Tales (teaser trailer)

Junebug will be heading into the studio in February 2010 to record their second studio album, "Modern Day Fairy Tales." Accompanying them will be cameras to capture the process and relay the band's thoughts. The results will be an album and a documentary to be released late spring or early summer 2010.

Junebug will record at Fur Seal

Junebug is glad to announce that we've finally got a plan. Yup, it's true. Junebug has figured something out and committed to it. After a few months of discussion and debate and after touring a few studios in the Twin Cities area and meeting lots of great folks, we have determined that the best fit for us at this time is Fur Seal Studio in Minneapolis. We're booked to record in mid-February and we are aiming (hopefully) for a late spring release of Modern Day Fairy Tales.

Modern Day will be comprised mostly of material from Junebug's back catalog, including "I'm a Bad Mamma Jamma (Who Works at Wendy's)," "Found My Boogie," and "Jumpstart My Rocket" among many other older tunes from the South Dakota days. The album is estimated to be roughly 15 or 16 tracks.
