04/24/2008 - We at ARP of the Covenant would like to introduce to you some teaser material, manufactured in a basement in Verona, WI, and a Methodist Church in Minneapolis, MN.

04/09/2007 - Our FORUM section has been temporarily disabled, but we hope to have it back up and running soon. Those of you who had registered in the past will have to register again. We at ARP of the Covenant apologize for the inconvenience.

Stephanie Rearick will be opening the show with a solo performance starting at 8pm. This event is a benefit concert for CUT: Teens and Self-Injury, a documentary by Wendy Schneider, and the cover will be $5. More information on the show and the film can be found here.

02/20/2006 - The website has had a major overhaul to reflect the excellent artwork on the album sleeve, designed by Shanan Galligan. As the insert text indicates, you'd be lucky to get him to design your sleeve. If you'd like to know more about Shanan, or his amazing design skillz, check out On Design Studios.

11/21/2005 - The CDs are in, and the artwork isn't far behind. We should have some pre-release CDs for sale at our upcoming December 3rd show at Chad's new club: Isabella's.

10/07/2005 - ARP of the Covenant is featured in the October issue of Jazziz magazine. Several groups from select universities across the country have submitted material to Jazziz magazine's October issue, featuring an article about contemporary jazz and improvisation education. An excerpt of ARP of the Covenant's live performance of Nick Zielinski's composition entitled "Mr. Li Poses with his American Birthday Cake" was chosen to appear on the accompanying CD, and a write-up of the group is featured in the magazine itself. Previews of the write-ups for each group can be found here.
