The Mal Arkies Rising

 

   This February The Mal Arkies enter a focused period of work to polish and refine a dozen original songs. This month of music builds up to the March 7th premier show at Cousins Music in Fort Smith, AR with supporting acts Untight (Fayetteville, Ar) featuring Sam King.  'Fat Dracula' (Tulsa, OK) Featuring Dave and Kris Dean. 

    Utilizing that steam The Mal Arkies start recording the debut LP that same weekend. A limited 1st pressing will be released on vinyl, cassette, and digital and will be available for purchase on Bandcamp with a tentative release date of April 20th. 

The Mal Arkies get Graphic

 Graphic Design that is,  Mic Burns commissioned his wife Aja to help design a logo for the band. With J R.R. Tolkiens signature as inspiration as well as Aldous Hardings cover art for Designer,  Aja started sketching with pen anda random box to sketch on we landed on an exciting option. Taking that sketch into her digital tablet she meticulously measured, graphed, and put stylus to pad and a few days later we options. 

 Thanks to Aja Burns for the incredible graphic design.
