REVIEWS OHMYGAW!!!
Stephen, here... again... I know it hasn't even been an hour since I last posted... but we've been short on words for a while and this is great news. We've gotten two GLITTERING reviews in the past couple of days.
The first is right --> here <-- and is a wonderful one about our recent EP, "Hey Kid."
"[...]Hey Kid is a frenzied reverie swept up in a world of bliss, bedlam, spiky new wave and knifing prog rock. After luring you in with a liquid guitar and a chorus of “aahs,” it’s off to a world of ringing sirens, spacey synths, grinding guitars and explosive drums[...]
Convinced? Go fucking get it somewhere. I don't really remember where that is... Anyways, much thanks to Aaron LaFont over at Offbeat.com
The second review right over --> there <-- is by Raymond over at the Austin, TX Culture blog Southside Sanctuary. We recently played in Austin over the past weekend at a cool little bar called Trophy's, which, btw, does NOT sell liquor!!! I forgive them, though. I was told it's dumfoundingly expensive to get the TWO licenses it takes to be what I call a regular bar.... rambling... Apparently we played a good show and people actually liked it.
"[...] I’d give BRCM a confident vote [...]"
A vote for Big Rock is a vote for America. Thanks, dude!

A sad day for some friends
Silent Cinema, another local band we know recently had much of their gear stolen. Please read this and let them know if you have any information.
-------------
Hello Friends,
As
many of you know we were robbed of a large portion of our gear this
weekend in New Orleans, and we are on a mission to retrieve it. We
asking anyone with any information or any connections to local music
stores, pawnshops, or mob bosses, to help us out.
Our
main concern is playing, even if its with borrowed equipment, as much
as we planned to. We really are close to our equipment and do not have
much money to cover the losses. The easiest and most fun way to help
us, should you feel so inclined, would be to come out and see us this
Saturday the 18th at One Eyed Jacks. We will be selling our CD,s
T-shirts, and a special digital download of everything we've ever
recorded, including a good deal of unreleased stuff.
In any case, here is what was stolen:
1.
Vox Valvetronix VT 100W 2x12 Guitar Amp. This is one of the new models
with the silver metal grill. The serial number ends in 604.
2.
Ampeg SVT410HLF Bass Cabinet (500W 4x10) When stolen, this still had
the custom red and orange grill cloth we used on our amps for a while.
Hopefully someone is dumb enough to try to sell it with the cloth still
on. Its also missing a caster.
3. Ampeg SVT3PRO Bass Amplifier Head (450W)
4. Fender RT1000 Guitar and Bass Rackmount Tuner
5. Alesis 3630 Compressor
The
previous three items were stolen in a basic Road Ready rack case. Once
again hopefully someone is dumb enough to try to sell this all at once.
6. Epiphone 2003 Sheraton II. Its the sunburst one, and I.took the pickguard off.
7. Boss Digital Delay DD-3 Pedal
8. Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb Pedal (the larger model, not the newer nano)
9. Ernie Ball VP JR. Volume Pedal
10. Digitech HardWire Series CM-2 Tube Overdrive Pedal
11. Dunlop DC Brick Multi-Power Supply
The
five previous items were attached with industrial velcro to a custom
built red and white wooden pedalboard, So if you come across more than
one of these pedals, and there's remnants of white velcro on the
bottoms, let us know.
12. Fender Stage 112 Combo Amp
Thanks
again for reading. Feel free to forward this to any blogs,
publications, music stores, pawn shop workers, etc that you might know.
Feel free to post it to your facebook, myspace, twitter etc. If you
know who is in possession of our equipment, feel free to fax us their
name, address, phone number, and a list of their worst fears.
Love,
Silent Cinema

We hope they recover their shit, and whoever stole it wakes up missing their fingers. Please help if you can.
