While we wait for the music video to come out after the Memorial Day weekend. Here’s Sebastian in a short film called “The Goon and The Dangler” from Dead Red Eyes. The film itself was for a contest where teams had to meet certain criteria in under 3 minutes.
Find out more about how that worked at www.deadredeyes.com – but in the meantime check the short film out:
It features Stereo Off soundtracks in the background.
Hey, its been a while since we posted. Mainly due to the events last week, where some of us, and our close friends were disconnected, flooded, stranded with no transit or gas, and/or surrounded by things like this:
Hope you and everyone you know are ok. We had no choice but to postpone a couple of things, and even the area where we rehearse is a bit off limits at this point, but hopefully back on track soon.
From switching the stereo off because we’re on stage, to perhaps having a “stereo off” of a duel with an arrogant car in the next lane, there’s plenty of ways to have your stereo. Anyway, the band name had me thinking, what are some of the other great “stereo’s”. So here’s a top 10 in no particular order.
1 – Pumping on Your Stereo by Supergrass – Classic Song.
2 – Stereo by Pavement – Classic band.
3 – Stereo Sanctity by Sonic South – A bit of one and two.
4 – Stereo MCs – Old school and still spinning.
5 – The Apples in Stereo – Reminders of vinyl, but of the mp3 era.
6 – Death by Stereo – Old movie quote from the 80’s classic Lost Boys, later a name of a hardcore band.
7 – Stereolab – London based band, electro indie before it was called it. Still playing today.
8 – Stereogum – Music blog around longer than the term “blog”, also covered a previous band I was in back in the days.
9 – Stereo by John Legend – Falls into the category of songs I never thought (or wanted to admit) I’d like, but I do (perhaps a separate top ten list).
10 – Stereo Off! – Yeah, ignore the title, its my list after all.
Any others we forgot? Let us know. But for now, that’s your ten!
Put that on your Letterman!
Good weekend with our first show at The Knitting Factory Brooklyn. As opposed to the rest of the band who have been on stage MUCH more recently with other projects (in one case yesterday!), it has been a bit longer for me. The nerves hit, but it all worked out in the end. Looking forward to the next show.
Some good stories too, some less show related than others, but do enjoy the multiple interpretations of the band name. Anyway, back to the original story, I realized that I still have t-shirts from bands past that I was in (and wasn’t in), and figured that our band needs one too.
Bit of a test run above, but perhaps we’ll be able to get these on site soon so that someone other than me can have one. Let us know what you think. I guess stickers are another early requirement for bands, though I don’t see that as much as I used to. Perhaps I’m outdated.
I still remember bands releasing albums and they would often hide a bonus track on the CD (when’s the last time you bought one of those?). But those hidden tracks were awesome, even if often a random outtake or B-side (there’s another old reference). Still, one these days can’t get a “hidden download” – oh look my mp3 player or computer opened a random file I didn’t download… and its a song! Or a virus. Or both. Damn, time for a new computer then.
