3.09.2007 Video from the Knit THANK YOU for coming out to the show this weekend. It's always a blur (before the real party even begins) with the production these little shows take; though I may not remember how it went, I remember how it felt. And we felt your support and love.After the show people were asking about a particular song, and I couldn't for the life of me remember the setlist afterward. Well I have it here in front of me: - Together Apart - Talk About You - In Spite of it All - Beautifully Strange - Misery Need Company - Wake - Break I found out a few of you ran into mix-ups with will call. If you ran into trouble and had to pay again, please accept our apologies and contact us. We'll make things right. For those who couldn't join us in person, we've posted video footage to the intertubes. The video footage is of the concert only, not from the after party (and with good reason - you people are wild..) Part 1/3: Part 2/3: Part 3/3: Do you have any pictures from the night? Email them to us at itookyourpictureattheknittingfactoryonmarch3@jackthevain.com. Please do us a favor and forward this email to the friends you brought and ask them to join the mail list. As for us now... back to the studio, to write and record. Soon enough we'll come flyering the town for another show. See you again! 3.02.2007 What makes Los Angeles beautiful Hi, this is Steven. I sing in a local band.Do you know how a local band finds success? It's people finding us and breathing life into the music through their lives. And by success I don't mean getting picked up by a music label or getting airplay on a nationwide radio network or even making a thousand bucks. Success is art creating avenues of hope where there is dead silence. And art is HOPEful, because art is communication. And communication is hope. It means we haven't given up. My friend Victor said that to me once. I'll say this once and then never again - there's no money in it for us to play these shows. Which turns out to be convenient because we weren't in it for the money anyway (except Shane). We make something like $50 each on a big night, and that's the only payout we really see for months of devoted hard work. But we believe that what we do is a strike toward feeding impetus in our own lives and in the lives of Angelinos. And, we hope some day, in the lives of many more. So when we invite you to a show, it's an invitation to share a small part of your lives, with the backdrop of these songs we bring. Not the part making a six figure salary. Not the part dressed to impress. No, we want the part that's drowning in fear. The part that's starkly disappointed in LIFE. The parts our world has rejected. It's what makes Los Angeles beautiful. We hope you'll join us, please come find us. |
