Touring - late April/May - NE, West, Midwest

Yo!

We’re gonna be touring again starting in late April into May. Keep an eye on our page for more dates… most of the tour is confirmed, but there will be more dates filling in the gaps.

The tour will kick off with a short run in the Northeast, then downward for a taste of the South, followed by a smattering of Southwest dates, leading us to the West Coast, where we will rock our way upward to the Northwest, then southeastward along the Rockies, to finally cross the Plains and land in the Midwest.

Hopefully we’ll see you along the way!

Arizona in Performing Songwriter - 9 to watch in ‘09

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ARTICLE

“Though their namesake may have been the last contiguous state added to the Union, Arizona the band is wasting no time attracting a following. The delightfully quirky Brooklyn-born, North Carolina-based quartet should soon taste success, and not just for knowing their way around a melody or bringing masterfully crafted, undeniably catchy (if sometimes unsettling) indie rock to the table.

Since emerging in 2005, bandmates Alex Hornbake, Ben Wigler, James DeDakis and Nick Campbell have garnered acclaim from bloggers, music critics and musicians alike, landing desirable spots touring with major acts such as Band of Horses and the Indigo Girls. With the 2008 release of their second LP, Glowing Bird–issued on Echo Mountain Records–Arizona is picking up speed, sharing tour dates with Derek Trucks and their old friend Amy Ray, as well as making numerous headlining appearances for their Glowing Bird tour, wrapping early this spring.”

Thank you Performing Songwriter! To support a magazine saying such nice things about us, go find a copy and buy it if you can!

Have a good afternoon,
Nick

SXSW

SXSW was totally radical this year!  Highlights included seeing Women, Dead Confederate, Gift Horse, BLK JKS, and  Ume.  These bands should be checked out and enjoyed by everyone!  All are easily find-able on Myspace… Dead Confed and Gift Horse are in our top friends.

There was a good amount of partying, and a little bit of music making.  Overall, good times.

A Belated Farewell to Bandazian

In my current late night sleepless reverie, it dawned on me that due to having been out of town at the time of the break-up, we never posted about the end of the great group Bandazian.

Bandazian were comprised of some of our closest friends here in Asheville.  Rather than me try to describe their sound, everyone who reads this should go check out their Myspace page (look in our Top Friends).  They were a rare band and we felt very close to them musically and personally.  Hopefully people will continue to enjoy the music they made, as I know we will.

Anyway… just felt that an official farewell to their band was in order.  We’ll miss you Bandazian!

Please do take the time to listen and to go back and listen again.

If you’re awake now, have a very good-very-early-morning with me,
Nick

Part 3 / Where is Wallace? FREE download

Part 3 of the documentary Two Crucial Moves is up now.  This is the part of the documentary where we get a little Spinal Tap… we hope you can enjoy it!

Along with it is another b-side for FREE download … “Where is Wallace?”.  It has the shredding of Zeff Childress of Sanctity at the end, the banjo playing of Andy Pond of CX-1, the percussion of River Gueguerian, and the drumming of Krum of Bandazian (who have since disbanded) featured in the last segment with Zeff (the rest of the song is James drumming).  In other words, this song features the most fucked up A-team of Asheville musicians… I’ve actually never thought of this, but this truly is an incredibly strange and awesome cross-section of some of the best musicians you’ll find in the town, and it was really awesome working with them.  Please check out all of these bands/artists on Myspace (Bandazian is in our top friends).

Get it all at: IGIF

Have a good Monday!
Nick
