2005:10.2
so... turn around norman ended at the end of our summer tour 2005. we did five weeks all over the country and back. some personal issues made it too difficult to go on. but the folks involved are still around doing their things.
at the end, turn around norman was: laura: vocals, marc (aka maps): bass, todd: guitar & vocals, jeff (aka bones): drums, and jeff: guitar & vocals
everyone is around playing in new bands: todd is in wrong day to quit (based out of new jersey) with his old bandmates tom and leigh from his the assistaint days. laura and jeff (and tim!) are in a band called arms over arteries with their pal chris. maps and bones are still at it, but as of right now i'm not sure what that is. i'll let ya know when i can.
thanks to everyone who ever hung out with us, let us sleep in their homes, gave us food, did a show, played with us, etc. you are all freakin beautiful!
i'll do more with this website sometime soon!
lvs

[03.01.2004] Well, the most recent incarnation of this band has come to an end. I decided to bail out and Tim thought he might as well, too. Jeff left West Virginia this afternoon and is heading to New Jersey to search out a job and a new rythm section, and Laura will move there in May or some such thing. Thanks to Chase and Deana, and Requiem (& the other bands) for the shows this weekend. Word has it that the most recent issue of heartattack is hot off the press, and includes an brainy interview with Laura by a mythological young gal named Kelle. I'll update the site again when things get kicking. |

[01.22.2004] So, holy crap, we actually played at home and we actually played reasonably well. I guess there really is a first time for some things. It was great to see so many folks out braving the weather and such. If scheduling comes together properly we'll try it again rather soon. We've got this little notion that we're going to head south while Tim's education is taking a spring break. Check the dates and cough in our direction if you want to help out setting something up or know something we don't about what we're doing. |

[01.09.2004] Shows at the end of December went rather well. Thanks to Lynn, Ryan, Matt, Steve and that sweetie Tom for hooking us up with these things and places to stay and general good charm and cheer. Apologies to Chase for not being able to overcome illness and make the jaunt to Charleston. |

[12.12.2003] Holy crap it's been a long time. I moved out to The Compound with Tim and my computer got goofy in the process. The recovery has been slow. Important things... The Times Are Hard for Dreamers comp is out and about now. We'll have copies at shows coming up and one can also hassle Evan for them at Waking Records. If I get my blasted van back together in time, not only will we actually play these shows, but we'll have a fresh batch of t-shirts, too. |

|
[9.14.2003] Some rock shows with The Clancy 6 in late August were tons of fun, and we didn't even play too poorly. Everyone everywhere fell in love with Tim... We've been practicing quite a bit and getting settled into our respective roles (or re-settled, if you're referring to a certain half of the band), and even have a new song worked up and a couple of other fresh ideas kicking around. We'll probably start trying to play more regularly again in November, but there are some more dates in October that might come together. I'll post them if or when they become solid. |

[7.20.2003] Hi. We have a new bass player. His name is Tim. I (Roger) am attempting to conquer a third instrument with this band, by sitting behind and staring awkwardly at the drums. We're going to teach ourselves a few songs in this fashion and pack up for a couple of weekends in August which should be fun... |
|
|
|
[7.4.2003] ok, so we scrapped that whole tour thing. we've submitted a re-recorded version of dying in black and white to a friendly fellow named Evan who is putting together a benefit comp called Times Are Hard For Dreamers. i'll cough up more details at another point, but i'll say that comps are often pretty lame and this one is not. |
|
|
|
[5.8.2003] hey, i posted lyrics to most of songs. we're trying to see if we can't pull together a tour starting the 23rd of july through the 17th of august... more on that very soon, because we're going to need help. |
|
|
|
[5.1.2003] okay, so that benefit on sunday was great - tons of people showed up and mutiny was able to give larry over $500 to fight against the corporate giants who destroy appalachia as a byproduct of making money. jordan played all his parts quite correctly - a testament to his stunning memory as we only practiced once as a whole band and two other times in a fragmented form. we're not playing any shows in may as we had previously planned - jeff is running to california and back for some reason, and we'll get back to playing some music after that. hopefully by early in june... |
|
|
|
[4.24.2003] well, it's a new page. you know how that crap goes. brian moved to australia. jeff moved to pennsylvania. laura moved across town. roger didn't move. jordan is doing a little bit of drum work with us. wanna write to us? |

hey, we're playing a partial set at a benefit called rock against mountaintop removal at 123 pleasant street on april 27th, with a pretty slick regional lineup of the minus tide, once again, the law biting citizens, & 304 reconz. this benefit is being organized by mutiny productions. hopefully we're playing a few shows in may, as well. details when they are available. like this one on may 17th... up there in that pennsylvania... look, i'll quit being a jackass and just get off of here now. all the stupid fonts on this thing seem so pretentious. like me. in case that flux capacitor you've been working on ever ships you off in time, and you're lonely enough to want to see one of our old shows, click here for dates we've played in a history that is currently past. |

hey, we have a self-released seven inch, a split seven inch on nice transportation records, and a split twelve inch on the mountain collective. records can be obtained from us or the respective labels. try whoever you please. reviews of the split twelve: deep fry bonanza & masterdik. if i ever get a little bit of not-lazy in me i'll type in some of the printed reviews. now that's something to look forward to, isn't it? |
|
|
|
are we photogenic? you decide...well, maybe when i get that page working you can decide. until then please deal with all the anticipation in a constructive manner, using crayons to draw us or some such thing. |

hey, here's links to some wicked rippin' bands we've played with, or that we really like for some reason. without particular order... |

hey, it's not just about music. here's links to some interesting internet-type stuff. great for people who can surf the web while they are at work. valuable for others, too, but you know, lots of us wish we could get paid for geeking around on the world wide web. |
