WE HAVE A NEW MESSAGE BOARD!!!
04-04-2009
Welcome to the new/old color scheme. For those who keep track of our comments on our recording progress, Arwai (yes I refered to myself in 1st person) is very cynical and lazy when it comes to recording and as such has not so much as let the new album's progress come to a crawl (like the Turtle) as he has stopped and taken a rest on the side of the road whilst hoping that the wind will pick up and push the thing to the finish line. For those needing a scapegoat to raise their pitchforks and torches to, you can blame Puzzle Quest.
On a much more progressive/positive line of thought, we have a new member joining us in our pursuit of keeping loud, no-nonsense rock alive as well as joining us in our dislike of the Jonas Brothers - the one and only First Mate David of Boats. We're working on new material with him and should be set for a show sometime soon. I think once we get that done, we'll get back to recording.
Other than that, you can look out for random demos to pop up here from time to time...as soon as tomorrow, you ask? Maybe. First I gotta finish my nap on the side of the road, just like the Hare, 'cept I ain't in no competition. Laytur.

The Enlows started playing music in the greater Sacramento area in the year of 1999. The original line up included the brothers Ry S. on bass, Steele S. (of Mallrats fame) on guitar, and their good friend Keith D. (of Three Weeks Yesterday) on drums. When Keith left the band in 2000, the brothers were joined by Ryan G. on bass, whilst Ry took a shot at drums.
After a couple shows, Steele and Ry switched instruments and recorded 2 singles - "Nitwit" and "Think of Your Happiest Thoughts." The band also produced a few home recorded cassette tapes (their self titled “The Enlowsâ€, “Psycho Over You†and unofficial "The Morning After Tape") which were released to a limited audience. Upon starting to record their "first" digital album at Sacramento's The Hangar, Steele decided to pursue other interests (The Mallrats), but not before completing 21 frantic songs in one day...only a few of which were ever released.
After Steele's exit, Chris "Gabba" S. (of The Failures) joined the group. Although originally sought as a second guitarist, he decided to take on the drums as both a challenge and out of necessity. This would become known as their classic line-up. They played a lot of shows around the Sacramento and San Francisco area and released a limited quantity of CDs entitled "The Morning After Tape." But in 2002, just after acquiring a second guitarist (Jeff Melendez of Milhouse, Boats!), the band regretfully called it quits, though it would prove to not be the end.
In 2004, the classic line up began working on some new material, recorded a couple tracks, and played one reunion show before going on an unofficial hiatus for 2005, during which, Ryan focused on his work in the local band Deimos whilst Chris and Ry collaborated in a band called Middlesex with Chris H. (Three Weeks Yesterday), and later Ramiro G. (Alarms).
After Ry left Middlesex in 2006, he and Ryan began working on new material for a tentatively titled band called "The Return of The," a nod to their old band name. Within a year, Chris joined them in their project and they decided to ditch "The Return of The" moniker and return to the music scene under their former title, The Enlows. By the summer of 2007, they began recording a new EP and by Autumn played a really fun house party Halloween show as Alvin and the Chipmunks (check it out on YouTube). In 2008, they released their new ep titled "Reboot".
The Enlows are currently working on a full length album of new material and will be posting some demos, out takes, and b-sides on this page sometime in the very near future. They hope to have the album done by early next year.
