Nevertheless, the band tries to play at least two shows a month.

“You never want to play at one place too many times in a row,”
LaFramboise said.

Degaussed released its first EP online in August 2009, and is currently
working on a new CD. Aiming for a fall release, the band is taking its
time for this album.

“Luckily, we don’t have to pay for studio time, so we are not pressured”
to get the CD finished in a certain amount of time, LaFramboise said.

Currently, Beaubien said three-quarters of the CD is done, but the
musicians are taking their time because they “want it to be the best it can
be.”

With the music scene constantly changing, “you should go your own
way,” Tyrna said.

“Fads come and go,” Beaubien said. “As far as music goes,” our
common goal is to keep Degaussed together.”

However, each band member has his own plans for college.

LaFramboise is attending Central Michigan University and finishing a
degree in recreation. He hopes to get a job at the Woodhaven or
Wyandotte recreation centers.
