Special Event at The Hexagon Bar

Mise en Place announce a special early celebration of freedom at The Hexagon Bar on Friday night, June 29th, 2007. The Hexagon Bar is located at 2600 27th Avenue South in the City of Minneapolis. Music starts at 10:00 p.m., for this FREE special event.

Mise en Place have been treating their debut full-length record Innit like an enemy combatant since the band finished the record last autumn at Electrical Audio in Chicago. Split Decision Records will officially release Innit on a date to be determined later this summer, complete with the bells and whistles of a record release party. However, Friday night at The Hex will double as a special pre-release event for Innit, with copies of the record available for one night only before the official release date later this summer.

Freedom isn't free. But it's cheap on Friday night, June 29th, at The Hex. You can liberate your copy of Innit from Mise en Place for the humble price of 10 U.S. dollars. Again, The Hex charges no cover and allows the drinks to flow cheaply and, shall we say, stiffly. In other words, do join.

New Record Out Soon!

Mise en Place have not blogged for months. How come.

The last time you heard anything here was back when Mise en Place were in the process of recording at Electrical Audio in Chicago with Steve Albini. Steve had just tricked Cory into tricking a pizza place into giving Mise en Place free Coke with the band's pizza order. Cory eventually drank the Coke (and ate the pizza), just in case you felt like you were left at a cliffhanger moment.

The record is now complete. The title is Innit. Mise en Place managed to finish the recording and mixing of Innit between roughly 2:00 p.m., 09.29.2006, and roughly 11:59 p.m., 10.01.2006, with kind assistance from Mr. Albini. The good folks at Golden Mastering in Ventura, CA, mastered the record this spring. Mise en Place cordially thank everyone at Electrical Audio and Golden Mastering for their stellar work on Innit.

Mise en Place also owe a special debt of gratitude to A. Bill Miller, an extraordinary individual who has channeled the magic of the grid as his contribution to Innit. And soon you can enjoy his work with the record.

Innit is a raw and immediate 11-track record that essentially captures Mise en Place playing their version of minimalist rock music in the glorious rooms that comprise Studio B at Electrical Audio. Mise en Place hope you enjoy hearing the record as much as the band enjoyed making it.
