It’s Friendsgiving Day

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZuJb9W3-G6E]

Just kidding, it’s not really. My friends and I don’t host Friendsgiving anymore, but I did reserve this entire day to spend with them so I’ve been off doing that! Anyways, I just came across this incredible video of States performing “Waiting  For Too Long” with Circa Survive’s Anthony Green and I just got chills. Not only do I love States and their new album, but Circa Survive was the soundtrack to my high school years and to this day, they still mean a lot to me as a band.

Enjoy!

States to Go On Tour

States announced today that they will be going on tour with Circa Survive and Maps & Atlases this fall! If you’ve been reading my blog pretty consistently throughout the last year, then you know that I’ve been a huge fan of States since they started. The three members were all a part of bands that I adored back in high school so the fact that they have joined forces together means that their relatively new group dominates. Mindy White formerly of Lydia and Stephen and Bryan Laurenson formerly of Copeland put out one amazing EP this year and even though they’re not coming to Seattle, I urge the rest of you to check out the tour if they are coming to a city near you. If you don’t want to go for States, at least go for freakin’ Circa Survive!

Wild Orchid Children Signs to Equal Vision Records

It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Seattle band, Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground. I have been watching this band perform for years and I absolutely adore their music. However, I have forgotten to mention that the guys of Kay Kay formed a second band long ago called Wild Orchid Children. The genre of music varies within the two bands, but they are talented nonetheless. Maybe you’ll like one or the other or maybe you’ll love both!

I’d like to send a huge congratulations to Wild Orchid Children today because they just signed with New York based Equal Vision Records! Former bands on the roster include: Alive in Wild Paint, Portugal. The Man, and Circa Survive. Wild Orchid Children performed at Bumbershoot this past weekend before dropping the big news this morning. They will also be releasing their first full-length album Wild Orchid Children Are Alexander Supertramp on November 9th.

The band began working on this album in spring of 2009 with Tom Pfaeffle at The Tank Studio, but went on hiatus when they learned that Tom Pfaeffle had been fatally wounded that following summer.

TRACKLISTING
1. We Are Alexander Supertramp
2. Black Shiny FBI Shoes

Do You Want To Come and Go

Someday, I hope my future job provides me with happiness, freedom, flexibility, wealth (a girl’s gotta live) and special perks like attending THIS awesome festival.

Last summer, I had the chance to travel to southern California to visit friends and family. I also stopped by Santa Monica for the first time and fell in love. I am in love with the enormous Forever 21, the shops, the food, the pier, the character, and the musicians on 3rd Street Promenade.

If you are living near the Santa Monica area, please stop by the PacSun Ballyhoo Festival because I am unable to attend. It is from June 19-20 on the north pier of Santa Monica.
Bands include: B.o.B, Circa Survive, Matt & Kim, Minus the Bear, Hey Champ, Ra Ra Riot, and many more. Basically it sounds like a huge beach festival with an outdoor concert and free giveaways. I can’t think of a better way to spend my weekend.

Pretty sure the next best thing about this festival is that it’s completely free! All you have to do is pick up a ticket at one of the listed participating Pac Sun stores…and we all know there’s a lot.
