GTG Fest
Hey everybody, just a reminder that we are playing this year’s GTG Fest. The event will be held on July 10th in Ionia at a location that is not open to the broad public. If anyone is interested in Attending please email Isaac at isaac@thehatmadder.com and he will get you directions. It’s been a busy year so far with the release of Rogue Notes & Phones. We will be doing a bit of touring this fall in support of it. Also, we have been working steadily on new songs that will show up on a brand new full length that is yet to be titled and yet to be recorded. Right now we are in the pre-production stage of the writing and fine tuning the lyrics and arrangements, so far we have about 16 songs so we’ll see what happens and will keep you posted on any further advancements. All I can say is get ready for The Hat Madder bomb to drop. Check out our Facebook page for any new samples. This summer we will be shooting several videos as well as doing a short film soundtrack. We’ll keep you posted on all of this. Peace on your houses, The Hat Madder.
