We've been super busy.
2010 was a pretty wild year for ATA, and 2011 is shaping up to be even wilder! Here is whats coming up.
In the coming few weeks we will be heading into the studio with audio wizard David Eaton to begin working on the new record. With a little luck and a lot of elbow grease we should have it ready for your smooth and shapely hands by this June. We are all very excited about this album. It is going to be a mix of both live and in-studio tracks. Most of them new, and a few completely renovated old favorites. When the recording process begins we will be posting video, audio and good old fashioned text updates here on the website, so check back often in the coming weeks.
To tide you over, we recorded a 5 song EP called 'Deer Milk' which can be heard for free and purchased HERE.
As the weather gradually improves we will have more and more opportunities to get out on the streets and play. Our regular show schedule of Saturdays around Pioneer Square from 7pm to 10pm will still be something you can set your watch by. Unless, of course, its raining cats and dogs...and even then we have been known to throw caution to the wind and play anyway. You can always follow us on twitter for updates on where we will be playing next by going HERE and doing the whole twitter-follow-thing.
This August we will be hitting the road for our first tour to promote the new record. If you would like us to come to your town, please drop us a line ( Alltheapparatus@gmail.com ) and we will see what we can arrange.
And finally, if you do a google image search for All The Apparatus, this portrait of Capt. N A Jatsuk pops up in the mix. He has nothing to do with the band, having died in 1912 and all, but his coolness factor is off the charts! He was one of Russias first test pilots, and bears a striking resemblance to our own Al Rosales. Coincidence? You be the Judge.

P.S. We have T Shirts Now! Some of you begged, pleaded even and we caved. They are available for sale for just $10 and come in Black and Burgundy. Currently they are only available at our street shows, but we will try to get them in our online store as soon as possible. Heres a bad photo of one with a cute dog (cute dog not included with purchase).
