Just wanted to thank everyone for their interest in Makeout Point. We've reached a decision to disband and pursue other projects. You can still download the last EP for free:
In the spirit of giving (i.e. we are all too broke to press another record) we are offering our EP, Don't Look Up, as a free download. Get it here. Tell your friends.
We had a great time making this record. We benefited once again from the talents of Trevor Morris at the Furnace Room and Carl Saff at Saff Mastering. Michelle spent countless hours cutting things up to make the cover art.
We're taking a break, but hope you enjoy this, share it, and come out to a show in March. Remember that we've also got another EP for sale on glorious black vinyl. It's a 7" so it will totally fit in a stocking.
Check it out! (<-- link to the show in .mp3 format. If you're curious we're at 58:10)
"Shrinking City" (off our Night Moves 7") got some radio love. Sandwiched between The Rolling Stones and Devo. That's a good place to exist.
The show was hosted by Denver's ZetaKaye House, which is a kind of artist collective, or "independent arts team" as they put it. We just wanted to give you guys a quick: Thanks for supporting your local artists and contributing to the ever-growing Denver music scene!

Our show with Night of Joy and Peelander-Z was insane. I frequently felt like I had been transported to a magical land -- or a Japanese game show (same thing?). Our friend Stacey took some photos-- you can check some out on Flickr.
We're currently laying low for a little while to work on our next album which we'll planning on releasing as a 7". I think we just sent the mastered tracks to a lacquer cutter so it's getting closer to a finished state; just need to get the artwork together and hopefully we'll have that out soon!
You can now order our 7" album "Night Moves" (classic/glorious black vinyl) from our website -- makeoutpoint.org for $5 (paypal). OR you can download it from
and emusic for about $4. Fancy!
We'll also have copies available at our shows. Check back soon for more dates!
This is the cover art for our up-coming EP, Night Moves. We just got our first round of test pressings and are looking forward to getting this out soon -- maybe early June? Our friend Clare took the photo in her really awesomely decorated house and I did all the lettering by hand in addition to the layout. I hope my 3rd grade teacher sees that I've retained most of the cursive skills she attempted to instill.
Side A:
The Odd Years
Idea of Me
Side B:
Arizona
Shrinking City
We're about finished making the cases for our Demo.
It took a lot of cutting, ironing, sewing, blood sweat and tears, but it was all worth it. Nothing against the jewel case, but these are pretty rad. You also get liner notes and the three tracks recorded this fall at The Furnace Room. Thanks to everyone who worked on these with us.
We'll be selling them at our upcoming shows ($5.00 each) until we run out. Come for the show, stay for the merch (or something).
If you can't make it to the shows and would like to buy a copy, we'd be glad to send you one. Contact us at makeoutpoint09@gmail.com and we'll figure something out.
