2011 Musings

Well, 2011 was a wild year, by the standards of this relatively homebody project.

I played more shows this year than I ever have in any other year (four, at random places across Atlanta), and it was very interesting to try to make my bedroom music work in public.

This year, I had three official releases come out, the digital EPs "Starry Way" and "New Pilgrimage" and the full length album "Wild Silver." Thanks goes to Gavin from Stickfigure and Mason Brown for making the album and its release possible. These releases, in combination with my work on the Roman Photos and Kolossi EPs kept me pretty busy.

The Atlanta press has been very receptive to what I know is still fairly "out there" music to some people, and I truly appreciate it. Thanks to Latest Disgrace especially for the gracious write ups, they even mentioned Wild Silver in their "Top 25 Atlanta Releases of 2011"!

Coming up, I'm working on a split C30 with Repeated Viewing and another full length album I've titled "Heavens Above, Heavens Below" at this point.

KALX-FM Shout out

A couple of songs from Wild Silver were played on "The Next Big Thing" radio show on KALX out of UC Berkeley, and some very nice words were said. Thanks to mr. Stax!

You can find the station on the internet HERE.

Meet Me at the Cliffsides video

Enjoy it!

Dayvan Zombear Radio

Soooooooooo, one of my songs was on Dayvan Zombear radio this week, check it out if you're interested HERE.

Or, you can actually get it regularly through iTunes too, which is great, and super convenient.

Coming up in Oct

Another awesome show, courtesy of 4th Ward Heroes and Tight Bros. I'm excited to be a part of it.

Plus, I have another music video coming up this month!

20 Jazzfunkgreats Podcast

Last week, one of my songs was included on a 20 Jazzfunkgreats Podcast. You can listen to it HERE. And you can see the page on their site about it HERE.

Criminal Records...

I've thought a good deal about it, and even though I'm not always a huge fan of artists pushing causes, this is something Atlanta musicians need to think about. Criminal Records has been involved in a great many facets of Atlanta music (whether it be selling local records, employing local musicians, or promoting live music), so we all need to consider the void Criminal would leave if it closed. Check out the following for more info:

There's a benefit show at the Star Bar on Thursday October 6th and another coming up at the Variety Playhouse, if you're free you really should come and support.

Shows / random musing

Thanks to those who came out to the Music Room last night, and to the other bands that played. My next show is Saturday the 25th at the Little Advances House. I think I play first.

I was thinking today about how great this first Lyonnais album is, if you have a chance take a listen to the player below. Lyonnais are one of the best bands in Atlanta, so check out their hearty mix of post-punk and drone... it's something different. They pressed the album onto tape and I think you can still message them through their Facebook page to get a copy.

Shows coming up for Summer.

June 18th, The Music Room at Pizza Vesuvius. 10pm. Constellation Records Showcase w/ Khora, Nick Kuepfer, and Silent Land Time Machine.

June 25th, The Little Advances House. 9pm. with Mediocre Machine and Nerdkween.

I've got something, not yet confirmed, for July. I guess here we go.

videooo

I came across this goofy video when I was looking for something else on youtube... still one of my favorite songs ever though.

New Pilgrimage EP

Ionesco

I was listening to this album again the other day, it's still great.

Next album upcoming

The next album, Wild Silver is in the process of being mastered by Mr. Mason Brown, so it is on track to come out sometime this summer. I've posted two tracks on Soundcloud for now, more to come.

New (wink) Upcoming

Meet Me at the Cliffsides by Warning Light

Ch-ch-ch-changes

hey,

Things have been different down here in Atlanta of late (lots going on, Roman Photos being busy), so I'm going to try some new things with my next Warning Light release. I'll be working on some music videos and delaying the Wild Silver project for a while. My roomate Phil and I have been talking alot of video of late, and it seems like an interesting thing to work on.

Oh, and maybe I'll start working on a collection of nature photography and deep drone music, but that idea is still kind of in the fomative stage.

Midnight Mass cassette.

My new recording, Midnight Mass will be coming out on Persistentmidnight on January 24th. It actually won't be a Warning Light album, it will be under my name, Drew Haddon. 30 tapes and 30 CDrs will be in the first pressing.

New digital ep

My new digital EP Starry Way is available for free download:





I was actually going to sit on these songs for a while, but the ice storm here in Georgia kept me in for several days and I ended up finishing it to keep my sanity. Enjoy it.
