Open Song Project & Upcoming Shows



We are very excited to announce that The Watermarks have been booked on the Rock The Republic Festival in College Station! It will be the first time we play there so we have double the reasons to be excited. Additionally, we are playing a FREE show with a super cool line-up. Not too often do you get to see free shows like this, so you should try not to miss it. The FREE show is on August 20th at Mango's. For more info, go to pegstar.net.

It's been a really busy month for us with gigs and our personal jobs, but we haven't forgotten about the little project we have talked about on our Facebook Fanpage. This project will be called 'The Watermarks Open Song Project'. The main purpose of this project will be for our fans to witness our creative process in progress, something you don't get to see very often with us or any other band. You will be able to see how a very basic music idea with not much to it, becomes a good, well produced song. Every time we work on the song or add or change something there will be an update with the audio and a little explanation on what we did, and why we did it. You might even see some videos of us arguing in the studio! Of course, with every update made, if there's something you would like to say, you will be able to do so. You can leave opinions, comments, comparisons, or even ideas, if you like. Even though this project is not about The Watermarks writing a song with our fans, this feedback might affect the developing of the song immensely, hopefully in a good way, but we'll have to find this by ourselves. That's why we call this an experiment and why we are excited about pouring stuff in test tubes to see what happens. We hope you guys will learn something or get something out of this. We are probably going to learn something about ourselves as well, but in the end what will matter is that we all have fun doing this. Because we've been and will be really busy until the end of this month, we'll probably have to wait until next month to begin with this project, perhaps the first or second week of September. We'll keep you informed.

That is all for now. Hope to see you at Mango's on the 20th!
Until next time!
