The These Estates Megathread: Finally, I Can Beg You For Money

(1/22) > >>

Johnny C:
OKAY SO

I am in a band. We are called These Estates. We don't have a drummer right now. We're working on that.

What we do have are the mixes for an almost-finished EP titled I Can't Wait! It's going to be released sometime this year, physically if I can help it.

Anyways I'm fairly proud of it and fairly excited, and I think if you like bands like Sloan, Weezer, Silkworm or Ladyhawk, and the last couple of Thermals records, or maybe you're a fan of a lot of stuff on Touch & Go or Jade Tree or Jagjaguwar or maybe Mint Records you'll like us, or maybe you just like drinking and rock music. I'm going to have to process that down into a much shorter sentence if I want to put it on a one-sheet but I think it gets the point across!

If you want to listen to it the entire EP is up on our Myspace, and if you like it the best thing you can do is tell your friends about it. I'll probably toss it up on a file-sharing website or something at some point, but not until I have it finished.

Please feel free to distribute it as you see fit - I'd like to sell some copies and play for people eventually, but we can't do that until we actually have an audience for it. Since we're basically doing this all ourselves and can't afford advertising, the only way we can get an audience is through old-fashioned word of mouth.

So uh, yeah! Please enjoy the preliminary sketches of the I Can't Wait! EP up there and I'll update this thread once I have some more information. We'll be sitting down to finish the mixes sometime in the next two weeks so I'll have more news for you then.

i don't wanna delete the original post so here is the original post

Okay well first thing's first: this thread is just a placeholder and when we put finish our actual EP I'll be probably bumping it with a new title and a bunch of other stuff in the OP and then when it's actually available for you to buy I'll also let you know

BUT FOR NOW

We're playing a show tomorrow night at the Marquee Room in Calgary. And by "we," I mean myself and Johnny Amore, the bassist. Maybe my laptop will make an appearance.

If you're in town, come check it out. $10 cover, doors at 9 PM.

if i could teleport there, i would totally be there. but my teleporation machine isn't working right now :(

Johnny C:
Okay I've cleaned up the Myspace and it's getting closer to being done. Take a listen!

Joseph:
Listened to the first few songs earlier, and they were sounding really good.  I'll take a longer listen this evening.

Hope you manage to get things together enough to tour at some point.

Sox:
Anachromance is so so good. Song of the week, undoubtedly. Granted, it's the first day of the week, but I doubt I'll hear anything else new that I enjoy as much. I'll see if I can convince somebody to put it on the playlist at my favourite local pub.
