the bright light motion

I will using the old Bright Light Journal as my own means now to communicate new and upcoming endevours that i will be participating in, and oh there’s so much stuff coming up. First off,if you want to keep checking back in,the new URL is joeymansman.tumblr.com

Now,some of you might have wondered what i’d be doing since TBLM ended, and honestly im glad to return to finally have some time to breathe and completely revamp my thinking a bit. I’ve had a lot of time on my hands recently and have been using it for writing music,and lots of it. I dusted off some old gear and aquired some new toys and have been jamming with some talented people i know. One group called The Regency or The Coastal Planes (they still havent decided on a name) from saratoga is a group of friends that asked me to write lyrics and record vocals for their debut EP. They are incredibly talented and i cannot wait for you to hear them when we are done. We are doing a six song EP together and i’ve tracked two songs with them so far. More updates on those guys will be announced as we continue finishing the record.

Secondly and most importantly, my old bandmate Bill Hunsinger and i have started a new musical project that is yet to be named. We have just built a full lineup,but im going to wait to tell you who will be joining us. Together we are currently working on writing a concept album based on a story that Bill and i started writing towards the end of the bright light days. I will be singing and playing bass as well as writing 90% of the material along with Bill. It’s going to be very very different than anything the two of us have ever done together, and we implore you to stay tuned!

New Twitter name is @jmansman by the way,follow me for up to date developments on both projects.

Will i have two Ep’s out before Curse the Mariner finishes their album? Maybe haha.

I love you doooods just pickin’ on yooooo!
