Ten Thousand Now Available!
It's here. Our new recording is back from the factory and available for your enjoyment. Go to the CDs and MP3s page to purchase a copy. It is also available at CDbaby.com. Calgarians take note that there are a few copies at Megatunes. Otherwise, if you're looking for a copy in a store, it won't available until some time in July. UK fans take note that the Balling the Jack/Bronzerat release date is August 11, but we will have copies for sale at the shows before then.
New Track Posted at Myspace
You've waited. Here's a taste. The first track from Ten Thousand is up on our Myspace page: www.myspace.com/agnosticmgc. Alright, this is an old post. It's now up on this web site.
AMGC and Bronzerat Shake Hands
Here be exciting news. Balling the Jack, a subsidiary ofBronzerat Records, the label that brought you Seasick Steve, will be releasing the new CD in the UK. By the way, it has a title. We call it Ten Thousand. Expect it to drop in England by July. We are mighty happy about this. We met Bronzerat owner Andy Zammit in Belfast and solidified a friendship over a discussion on the merits of 1980s Canadian thrash metal. That did not, however, influence the new recording.

A New CD, Finally
We are overdue, but we finally did it. We finished recording a new CD this January. Here are some salient features. It was done at Sundae Sound Studios in Calgary with Dave Alcock. Dave, some of you might know, is a former member of Chixxdiggit and Falconhawk. A proper studio? Yep. That means it probably won't sound low-fi. We're not sure if this will be a problem yet. You tell us. Material-wise, some of the songs we've been playing for a while and others are brand new. We're keeping the track list a secret for now. We still have to do the final mixes, mastering, and final decisions on what stays and goes. You'll be able to buy a copy in May or June. Huzzah!
Photo of the Month
This is a rare candid moment capturing us in the studio recording an album. The photogpapher was unable to get too close. Shortly after snapping this picture, he was chased down by our bodyguard who gave him a good slap on the wrist for disturbing the session and blowing the highly coveted secrecy surrounding it. Unfortunately, our bodyguard is strong. A slap on the wrist resulted in unspecified damages. Though we claim no responsibility for our bodyguard's actions, part of the settlement included that we post this picture on Photo of the Month and apologise. Sorry. Our bodyguard is a nice guy who enjoys passive hobbies like knitting and gardening. Submitted by Emilio Sherwood. No hard feelings, bud. We're square, right?
Blog of the Month
This is what you do. Go to this page and search for our name. We're finally joke fodder for preachers! Yes! Read all about it by clicking this sentence. We know nothing about Ralph Milton, the author of the blog, but he seems to be a preacher with a sense of humour. That can't be bad. Jesus was pretty good with snappy comebacks.
BBC Recording Session 2007
If you live in Scotland or Ireland, you probably know we're playing there shortly. What you might not know is that we're recording a session for God's Jukebox with Mark Lamarr on BBC Radio 2. We will play songs and talk. What more can you ask for in a radio show? It will be an interesting clash of accents.
CBC Live Recording
CBC Concerts on Demand has posted our performance at the 2007 Calgary Folk Festival. Listen to it here. If you were there, relive it. If not, imagine us playing those songs while wearing dinosaur costumes. Then imagine us engaging in fisticuffs with GWAR! Then come back down to earth. Good music will do that.
Photo of the Month Submissions
Sick of the same damn pictures on this web site? Got a picture of us that isn't incriminating? Send it to us. We'll post it and give you credit. You can feel good about making the site just a bit more entertaining for other visitors. Some fans have already posted Agnostic MGC photos at www.flikr.com. If you think we ought to post your flikr pic here, let us know. If you e-mail us a photo please make it as web ready as possible, that is, at least, under 50 kb and 450 by 330 pixels.
Same goes for Blog of the Month. Dig?
Archives
We have a new page. At least once a month, we will post a rarity and a story to go with it. This rarity could be a studio out take, live performance, radio interview, or mysterious document. Who knows? You will now be privy to bits of behind the scenes info reserved only for our friends. Our friends are sick of hearing us talk about ourselves. We need someone else to dump on. Besides, if you're dilligent and collect all this stuff, you won't have to shell out money on the box set or DVD we'll release when we've dried up for material.

www.myspace.com/agnosticmgc
It seemed like the thing to do. What will you get there that you won't get here? Not much. We will, however, have a blog where you can read about what it's like to be in the Agnostics. If you have any questions for us that you'd like to see answered in public, e-mail them to either info at theagnostics dot calm or publicity at theagnostics dot calm. We'll try to answer them in the blogs. Oh yeah, you can now be our friends, in a My Space kind of way.
