Mindlikewater had a great show at Rockstar Lounge in Jensen Beach Last Night. Played old songs we have never played before like, “Dreamstate.” Songs we have not played in forever like, “The Ache.” The highlight seemed to be some of the new material. We played 2 new tunes from our record in the works. People were into it so we plan on adding more new songs into the set for our Jan 21st show at Cruisers in Stuart. See you soon.
New Mindlikewater songs are finding their way into our live show. It is an amazing feeling to be sort of redefining who we are as a band. The new music feels very fresh and exciting. The songs are very melodic and we are loving the way they are translating so far. We will be officially announcing a few shows in January soon on our site and these shows will mark the first that we will be playing mostly new songs along with new selections of old material and a few staples of our catalog. We are having so much fun being a band again and we hope that we see everyone out at the shows as we unveil this new material live before it will be released. I think the new songs are some of our best in the ten plus years of MLW. See you soon.

Mindlikewater has booked their first show in a few months to try out some material and start to make the transition out of recording mode. We will be playing a little local gig at Mickey Finns in Port St. Lucie, FL on November 13th. We are opening the show so be early. We wanted to play earlier for a change and this opportunity arose.

A little footage from a few months ago. Check out what it is like writing in the studio with Mindlikewater.
The band just had a few little local gigs in August. Fun was had by all. Nice to see shows getting better in the area. We are back in the studio for September. As you can tell there are no shows booked at this time. We might have one gig to try out a few new tunes and to keep our feet wet Mid-October. Uncertain as of yet. I can say that we are about to reach what feels like the halfway point in terms of recording our new record. I have written and made demos for 15 plus songs. All of which feel like album worthy songs. Jim and I have written a lot of songs together. Joe Dyer has a song he has written on guitar! So I might play bass on a Mindlikewater tune! I am super happy with the direction. I think MLW diehards will be pleased and new fans will embrace this new sound. Very exciting times. I am sure a single or two will drop well before the record is released. Stay tuned for updates.
*P.S. I have a new solo record out now at- josephbeaty.com
Check it out.

Figured it was about time to let everyone know what has been going on with Mindlikewater recently. We are knee deep in recording our third full length record. Recording a full length is a serious deal for MLW. We have always used the EP format to find sounds and release material that has been in the can a while. This full length will be an entirely new collection of MLW material. The first real release since the 2002 “Curving Toward the Sun” record. We are about done recording 4 songs right now. The band is very pleased with the songs so far. We plan on spending most of September and October to finish writing and recording this record. While we would like to have something for you before the holiday season, we cannot rush this process. It is going very smooth however. So you never know. We are playing this Saturday, August 28th at the Rock Star Lounge in Jensen Beach, FL. Will be our last for a little while. Come out and see us. Stay tuned for new studio videos and sneak peaks of new songs. -Beaty Mlw
All is well in Mindlikewater land. About done with 3 songs. This happened really fast. These tunes were all really in the moment inspired. Jim started off with the ideas for all three of these. After jamming each of these tunes only once each…we recorded them down one at a time. Our usual practice time turned into all out recording sessions that for the most part have gone pretty smooth. I am very happy with these 3 songs. Before we had these we did have some demos I made at home so everyone could get familiar with the tunes. We have 2 more songs to work out and then record before I submit the next round of demos. Joe Dyer has a great idea on the guitar he wrote. Maybe I will play bass for a tune? Would be fun. So it seems we have an EP in the can already. However, we are planning on releasing these songs in the full length format. At least 10 songs. I figure in August we will be done tracking 5 songs and starting work on the next set of tunes mentioned before. We do have a few shows in August to keep our feet wet. Thinking most of September will be writing and recording again. Hopefully wrapping up a record before the holidays. Would love to be playing out more often in support of a brand new record by Winter. My favorite time for shows in Florida. Stay tuned for some studio pics and videos.
Cheers,

So the last post I was talking about new music and was not real sure what it would be. That has changed a bit in the last week. I certainly feel a New Mindlikewater album in the works. Our first full length since, Curving Toward The Sun. These songs are unlike anything we have ever done feel wise, while maintaining the Mindlikewater sounds our die hard fans have come to know and love. I believe these songs will win you over. I believe they are the strongest tunes I have written with Mindlikewater in a very long time. Once we have a bunch of tunes recorded for this and the vision is a bit more clear, I plan on revamping the website. Making it more social friendly and simple. I am loving that we are going to release a full length. Which will mean more shows once the record is out. We will have something new and strong to push. A reason to connect with a crowd again. Stay tuned for new everything!
