We're all moved into the new house. Not much is unpacked, but the heavy lifting is done. It figures that the day we moved the most of our stuff it was 80% humidity and 96 degrees out. Thank God for everyone who helped out, I'm really grateful!!!!!!!!!!

Manatella just released their debut full length album, Fashionable Neighborhood.

The brief on them from their website is. "Chase and Leonard began playing together at sixteen. Along with bassist Nell Roland and drummer Mark Hubbard of Julius Airwave, they formed Isabella Parole in Jacksonville, Florida. In 2000, they self- released album Mutha America and toured the East Coast in support of it. Soon after Chase, Leonard and Roland moved to Tallahassee, Florida to attend Florida State University and adopted musicians Caleb Selman, Johnny Pemberton, and Nick Underwood of Tallahassee band Plastic Mastery. For three years the group recorded several EPs, became multi- instrumentalists and played many shows in the depths of Tallahassee, Florida. In 2004, Chase and Leonard relocated to Chicago, Illinois and were introduced to drummer Shelly Uehara through fellow Chicago musician Mark Janka of The Lesser Birds of Paradise and formed Manatella."

Manatella are currently playing shows in support of Fashionable Neighborhood and are planning a tour for fall 2007
