Montezuma Water Machine

The Harvest Moon has risen and is falling.

Montezuma Fire Machine will be playing at the legendary DINO'S on Sept. 27th with the Lord of Bass Treemaster Scott Fernandez. And we mean...THE...Scott Fernandez.

Look to the stars and tell us that we're crazy. I mean, we're crazy, but we know a good thing when we feel one. Strictly musing, Scott Fernandez will lead you through a labyrinth and out the sunny exit with a bewildered smile. The power. The pwr.

If everyone can refrain from clustering too closely, eating too many burgers/drinking/touching each other/and/or/prescribing to mutually/enjoyed entertainment, then Dino's won't destroy us all.

Thanks.

Montezuma Exploration Machine

August is halfway over, and the Fire Machine has been sailing through uncharted waters for a period of time (since before our last post). We have learned a great deal about ourselves and what it means to work together, which is not always a calm rain. Storms come and go, however, and ultimately the challenge from these is to not allow them to impede progress. Steering around the flotsam and jetsam the best we can...

Recently, we have been working with some new companions. J.P. Clardy joins us now in electric guitarland, and Jeremy Abbott rains down hammers as our percussionist. As a working five-piece, we're busy at work on the music that we want to make. Music that we must make! It's a call from something ancient...engraved on our human temperament.

Great news!!! We have begun pressing our 12" vinyl record, titled "Astrolabe." This will be the second output of recordings by Montezuma Fire Machine, and if there is a way(s) to express how excited we are, then surely we will have difficulty hiding it when you see us playing these new tunes in concert! The combined feelings from our progressing sonic atmosphere and several fresh perspectives are visceral and inspiring. MFM cannot wait another minute!

We would like to say Thank You to the countless individuals who have been around to help and push us. Thank You, Thank You!

And now, onward and upward. Stand fast! Secure the rigging!

Montezuma Tonic Machine

     Hello all, we're officially on the other side of our Midwest extravaganza. Special thanks go out to John Sloan (Mercy Academy), Abby Vice, and Eric Meyers (Ford Theatre Reunion) for putting us up and for the shenanigans that ensued. The fine folks at the Charlie Tonic Hour had some very kind words to say about our gig in Lexington. Check out Episode 54 of their podcast as well as this write up that Ginny did about us!

We have a few more shows in the works for y'all, some in town and some out of town. Kickstarter incentives are also being sent out, we're still working on a few of the bigger items (posters, mugs etc) so stay posted. The last sessions for the record have also been booked, it feels good to be approaching the end of this phase of the process of making the album happen.

Our next show is in Nashville at the End on January 12th with our buddies Bear in the Campsite, Grooveshire (Cincinnati, OH), and Scott Fernandez

Stay tuned y'all

Peace, Love, and The New England Patriots,
