Here's one of my famous news roundup from press.weheartmusic.com. A few things before we get started: Polynya (polynya.info) is playing a few dates and would like you to know about it:
March 18th at Hell in Chapel Hill, NC
April 4th at Nightlight in Chapel Hill, NC
Kerry Politzer (kerrypolitzer.com) is addicted to Second Life (haha! just kidding).
If you play Second Life, you should add her as a friend. I would be doing Second Life too if it wasn't for presky First Life getting in the way.
If you were curious about what a "live" performance on Second Life looks like, check out this youtube video.
Also, I don't know where Q's House (is it in New York?), but there will be a live interview with her on February 19th. More details about this interview on myspace.
A few tour announcements as well: 65daysofstatic (65daysofstatic.com) and Cadence Weapon (cadenceweaponmusic.com) are going on tour.
We've previously mentioned 65daysofstatic before, so check out the article for more details.
I'm actually pretty excited about Cadence Weapon, who sounds like Minneapolis's Atmosphere.
I have Cadence Weapon's new album, Afterparty Babies (to be released March 4th 2008), for review, and from what I've heard: it's full of great pop culture lyrics.
If you're into club/dance, you might have heard "Rapture" by iiO (iiomusic.com). Well after four years, they've decided to go back and "reconstruct" the song and release it as, erm, "Rapture Reconstruction".
The double-disc EP contains 15 tracks of the new Rapture song, each remixed by a variety of DJs.
The sample song I received (Creamer & K Remix) is pretty good, although I haven't heard the original Reconstruction song to compare it.
And speaking of re-issues, the original 2001 The Glow Pt 2 by Microphones.Mount Eerie (krecs.com) is being re-released on April 8th as a 2-disc set from K Records.
This band was originally called The Microphones (based out of Olympia, Washington), who, under the direction of Phil Elvrum, changed their name to Mount Eerie in 2004. Not sure why the name change, but they basically changed it back to The Microphones.
