Throwing Glasses At Bands

It's a bit fucking weird. I wouldn't consider our music particularly pretentious or offensive, we're just three guys playing our hearts out.

Drunkenly seeking attention, great stuff.

Lions, Monkeys, Zebras and shit.

We are going to the zoo this weekend.

Not only that, but we are taking our gear and are playing music to them.
No shit. www.liveatthezoo.com

Maybe, possibly, someone we know will be there. We will take photos. We will chase the llamas.
Yusss!

Getting Techno

It's interesting when you make rad plans for cool things and then when it comes time to do said things you can't because you bought the cheapest camera available and it's a piece of shit.

Fuck you Samsung. Firewire. It's not that hardout. Why make it so difficult?

For Example

Ok so the EP has been out for around a week now, and it seems to be doing ok. We didn't really break any ground by releasing it the way we did, we just figured we've written some songs and we want people to hear them. We are small, unsigned, fresh.

We're also struggling for any kind of attention. Please help us!

If you have a blog, host our EP's, Demos, Videos, anything. Give us the link and we'll support you.

Clean.

We feel like we are mid way through a massive breath of fresh air. Like coming out from a dive into water that went too deep. Except we didn't 'dive', we simply were born immersed and someone was filling the pool with water as we climbed for the top.

This City Sunrise Sings In Unison is by no means a well rounded representation of our band. There is so much more we are going to do. There is so much more music we are going to write. However we feel In Unison is the first step of this band that we've tread with any real confidence. We know a lot more about each other, about what we can do, about our friends and our families and about the kind of people that dig this shit.

This City Sunrise Sings In Unison, and that is the only way it can be.

Pretty Much...

A face, philosophical figure; held in beauty forever
Through stained glass, transparent fever
I couldn't care to be immortalized
Text book chapter, pop culture, t-shirt recognized
People with that are gifted
Given to us from something, somewhere above
I think we missed it
I want to be part way there, nearly public
Meaningful to those whose hearts they bare
Open ended secret love affair, maybe it was meant to be
Treated like a whore, we're only relatively sure
Filthy unwholesome pedigree

Not exactly the result we had hoped for
A ghastly gust or gale is choking me
I am jealous eyes, brewing in tea
Could swear someone was groping me
My once solid foundations are shaking violently

Not exactly the result we had hoped for
We want to be part way there

If we get down on our hands and knees and pray to this quake,
Who are we then? Who are we then?
Lead soldiers on a march, all of the colours chipped off of our medals
Congratulated and commemorated in a heavy hail of concrete confetti

Not exactly the result we had hoped for

I wanna be part way there
Nearly public, nearly public
I am jealous eyes, brewing in tea
My once solid foundations are shaking violently

A face, philosophical figure; held in beauty forever
Couldn't care to be immortalized
Couldn't care!
I couldn't care to be immortalized
I couldn't care to be immortalized
I couldn't care to be immortal.

Weird Concrete Building.

Shit.

It's so hard to elaborate on where we are at as a band right now. There's this huge, vague, empty feeling in the middle of an equally massive, exciting and beautiful dream.

We moved to Australia on October 16th, and it's been a struggle to get some stability in order to get all our plans into focus. Even just for a moment, it's almost impossible to pull your head together in someone else's house and to get things done well. Someone else's house, someone else's living space. Their vibe surrounds it, even when they aren't home. I feel intrusive, and my creative conscience is cramped.

It took me two and a half months to acquire work. I started looking the day we got here. It was a weird unlucky patch for me. But now all three of us are working we'll be able to afford a van, gear, merch, cd's etc. Stuff for you to have. Stuff that makes us happy to give you.

We have our first practice booked for Monday. We've accepted we wont find a place to live and practice for quite some time. Like I said, vagueness in the midst of our dream.

We're getting there. Our new EP is almost done. I can't wait to have it out. It's way heavier than our old stuff, but it's got infinitely more melodies, harmonies and all that musical stuff than before too. Merch is almost ready. Web pages and photos and VIDEOS are happening. We can be a proper, music playing band again. Touring and feeling like a band. It's the best feeling ever and we're now in a position to feel it a whole lot more than we ever have.

Rad.

PS: Christmas and New Years were both fuckin' awesome. I hope yours was too.
