Snowden In The Studio Vid

Here's another little clip I made. I'm getting quite proficient in iMovie now. This is by no means footage of us recording our next album. We've just been trying out some stuff in different studios around town to see if anything clicks. This clip is from a couple different studios. We cut the same track at both places to see what the differences would be, but have since tweaked the song beyond recognition of the original. Perhaps it will end up as a b-side one day or something. Anyway, this is mostly just footage of us goofing off as usual. Enjoy.

Thanks + Cao Fang | In Summer

Thanks to everyone who came out to The Earl Sunday for the breast cancer benefit, and to all the bands and everyone involved. It was a great turn out for a rainy Sunday night and we raised a bunch of money for a good cause. Thanks again.

Completely unrelated... I never thought a GE commercial would cause me to become obsessed with a song, but after seeing the ad a couple times during the Olympics I am now completely hooked by this tune. It's called "In Summer" by Cao Fang, a Chinese singer/songwriter. The whole song is only one minute and ten seconds long, but the melody has permanently lodged itself into my head and will not let go. It's like Cat Power, Iron & Wine, Kings of Convenience, Nick Drake and Feist all rolled into one and re-interperted by this Chinese girl. I don't know much about her, but apparently her nickname is Icy. Um, ok. Here's the rough English translation and mp3.

MP3: Cao Fang - In Summer

Listen to the children playing
Listen to the children playing
Listen to the children play in the summer
I've got something I should say,
but it won't come out my way
Summer's slipping away,
let me stay in your heart today

Snowden Tour Randomness (Summer '08)

I finally got around to editing down some of the video clips I shot on our last tour. I didn't have as much footage to work with as last time, but still managed to throw together a decent little vid. For the music I used some snippets of unreleased Snowden demos that may or may not see the light of day at some point. Enjoy.

Snowden @ Monolith Festival

We just added a show at the Monolith Festival at Red Rocks in Colorado. It's a cool festival with a really impressive lineup. If you happen to be going we'll be playing the New Belgium Stage at 2:45pm on Sunday Sept. 14. That day alone has an impressive lineup with TV On The Radio, Justice and many others. View the lineup here.
