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 (http://www.myspace.com/theseestates), 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 :(
-
Okay I've cleaned up the Myspace and it's getting closer to being done. Take a listen!
-
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.
-
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.
-
Your voice sounds really great, especially on "I Can't Wait!".
-
Johnny will this be on vinyl?
The correct answer is yes.
-
I have a sack full of boners for this.
-
Hey guys, wanna do an American West Coast tour anytime soon?
-
You guys should come back to Calgary, on a day when I am actually in town.
-
Hey guys, wanna do an American East Coast tour anytime soon?
-
When the mp3s become available, the best way to ensure that we might be able to afford tours outside of a very small area is to bump us up on last.fm and maybe tip us off to hype blogs if you feel like it? We're going to try doing promotion ourselves too but it'll be a lot easier if Internet people help us get our buzz on.
i love this forum so much
-
your songs are so catchy! I love these estates. I am going to spread the word!
-
Johnny, these songs are really awesome. 'Anachromance' and 'American Lover' are early favourites of mine. If you ever manage to get yourself out to Montreal (or Vancouver if it's the summer time), I'll do my best to my friends out to the show.
-
I've just finished listening to the tracks on the MySpace. Great stuff! If the E.P. ever gets released in physical form I will mail-order the hell out of it.
-
This is so good. I will pay extra for a CD if you autograph it so that if/when you become famous I can brag about it.
-
Johnny I can't wait til we play in a band together because you know it is going to fucking happen
hopefully
Top notch tunes dude.
-
I've just finished listening to the tracks on the MySpace. Great stuff! If the E.P. ever gets released in physical form I will mail-order the hell out of it.
THIS
I have shitty things happening later today and I am scared shitless but "I Can't Wait" still made me nearly explode with anticipation. That's gotta be worth at least 20 points on your 360's achievements score.
-
Hey Patrick did you take my advice.
-
Doesn't matter I want a copy of this
(I did but I'm serious about the whole "making my day" thing)
-
This is real good stuff Johnny! "American Lover" is fantastic, and I love the outburst in the middle of "I Can't Wait." Definately gonna spread the word about your band's EP.
-
Johnny, I will buy a physical copy of your EP when you get it all set. Please make this happen. Also, do a west coast tour.
-
You are now amongst my(our) top friends on myspace! Your stuff is just so good.
-
I would definitely listen to this on a regular basis. Good stuff.
-
Great stuff. I really love it. You should really make this happen.
-
your music is bad and you should feel bad! (http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b154/busket9/MySpace%20Stuff/418nl-72.jpg)
-
Also John ROCKS OUT!
And has anyone else here seen These Estates live?
-
Added as a friend on MahThpace. Good stuff, man, good fuckin' stuff.

johnny
if you want to play with a noise-rock band
you know who to call
hey sam
go on tour
-
If you tour to Winnipeg I can probably get there! Well, as long as the tour happens before June 1st or July 1st, after one of those dates I will need a passport to get into your silly country.
-
So get a passport you dang ignorant isolationist American-type person.
-
Hey I legitimately and legally hold two passports, does this make me extra culturally-aware?
-
You also own a T-shirt that says "Women: You Can't Beat 'Em"
(Your answer is no).
Johnny these are absolutely killer. I will blog about you in my weekly column which I have not updated in weeks because I am without a computer currently (I am painstakingly posting this from an iPod Touch).
-
Really, come by Winnipeg. I"ll get as many people as I can muster to the gig, probably get you stoned and drunk too.
-

-
Excellent album art you have thar
-
Sounding pretty good. I would go and see a show and maybe buy a tshirt depending on whether I got payed that week or the week before.
In the zip you've got We've Got Snakes one and a half times though. The half is labelled 'Track 04'.
-
what the heck
-
Shit yeah, I'm gonna make everyone I've ever met listen to this.
-
hey how did i miss this! i only have my radio show for a few more weeks so i will try to squeeze as much out of this ep as possible.
also if you are able at all to play in guelph in the near future, the head music coordinator/librarian at cfru has awesome bands in his attic all the time and also really loves everything on young soul records so i think he would be pretty big on you guys.
-
we aren't going to be on young soul, but other than that feel free to like make a copy and just have it for your station. also i would love to come to guelph but it probably won't be doable until august at the earliest
-
I quite enjoy this, possibly because of:
Anyways I'm fairly proud of it and fairly excited, and I think if you like the last couple of Thermals records...
Great work! I agree on getting this some play on at least my own radio show.
-
I just sent a message on facebook to ten people with the link! I am positive that they will like it.
Edit: I'm in love with the woahh ho whoas on anachromance
-
Fuck YES Johnny I am so putting this in my "play this and see how many people are like 'holy fuck who is that?'" playlist on my iPod.
-
This is sort of a question that I've always wanted to ask a songwriter, or band, but have never had the opportunity, and I hope that it doesn't sound too offensive. How much thought goes into your lyrics? I ask this because a lot of the time lyrics tend to be obtuse and sometimes confusing, and my assumption is always that any meaning that I find in them is intentional. While, certainly, it's what I take away from the piece that's significant, but I've always been curious how much of the writing is done deliberately and how much is done to simply fit with the music. Doing prose occasionally, I recognize the difficulty of giving every word significance, not to mention how haphazard the final product often reads in such a case, and even given music's shorter length sometimes I wonder. Your music definitely falls into that paradigm that I would tend to analyze, so my curiosity gets the better of my at the chance. Sorry again about this.
Regardless of that, on a more standard note, your work is amazing. I've been listening to it for the past few days. Especially notable to me were "He Said She Said" and "Anachromance". Hopefully everything goes well for you guys.
-
i would really like to turn this into something where i get used to hearing questions like this so i ought to give it a good go right away, huh?
I know a lot of people who don't put a lot of thought into their lyrics, and I know a lot of people who do. I'm one of the latter. Making stuff haphazard is risky because then you're just Paul Banks spitting out word salad and your bassist is calling you a poet in order to justify how awful your lyrics are.
Most of my lyrics come from an idea or a phrase that I then decide is interesting enough to expand upon. A lot of the time they aren't, but occasionally I hit something I'm comfortable with. Take "Anachromance," for example - I think it's a pretty coherent sequence of thoughts bound together by a central motif. It was all pretty deliberate! I have nothing against music where the lyrics don't mean anything but if people are going to spend time listening to them I figure I at least owe them something interesting.
-
i feel like such a turd for answering questions like that extensively when they probably only need a line or two
if anyone wants lyrics by the way i can Post Them
-
I would like that.
-

It's fine; I like the response more than I would a short one. I also have one more question; do the lyrics come before the music for you, or is it the other way around?
I would like the lyrics as well.
-
It depends on the song, and from what I can tell that's true for most people. It's really rare that I wind up writing music and lyrics at the same time. I'll generally come up with a song and either fit existing lyrics to it or write lyrics later that I realize fit. Then it's all about editing.
-
All right. I was kind of wondering that one since I was thinking of trying my hand at songwriting, and was wondering what the general process was for most people. That's kind of what I was thinking. Thanks for answering the questions for me.
-
I can't wait.
I can't wait for the day when I finally arise, wipe the mud and the piss from my face and I cry, "Oh God, you've given me sight. I swear I will pay back this debt in time but I am weak." And the Lord will split the sky and with a million voices She will reply, "My son, I've given you life, this is goodbye." 'Til then my mistakes are mine, but I can't wait.
I can't wait.
I started with a grimace, you started with a smile. You said, "It doesn't hurt yet." And I said, "Wait a while." I told you that I loved you. You told me, "Don't say that." You called me naïve, and I called you old hat.
And there are so many things that I haven't seen, and you're the closest to so many of 'em I will ever be.
You told me you were worried, I said, "My love's intact." You said that it's a theory, but I told you it's a fact. I told you that I loved you, you told me, "Don't say that again." I asked you if you loved me too, and you said, "That depends."
It looks to me like you could use just a little cheer, and there's a man who loves you and he could pull it off right here.
Time is not a finished tapestry! We can work our fingers in the dye of history.
The cassette tape took its last breath face down in a shallow grave; the album's reading its epitaph at the dawn of the digital age. "Stay alive," it says. "Don't get obsolete." The album feels its middle, figures out that its filler is pretty weak. I know what it's thinking to itself - "How do I get back to a point where I feel good about my health?"
So what have we learned today? If you love a format, don't let it fade away. All the albums that I love gather dust on the shelf, and as far as you're concerned I should listen to myself. Put your name on the records on the sleeves beside the tracks, so when I'm looking at the songs that remind me of you, you'll be staring back. I'll put your heart in all the mixtapes, all the soundtracks to my life: songs cut with humour and metaphor, meant to get you high as a kite on increasing doses of my worldview. These songs were meant for a singular "you." Somebody different, somebody new. The first time we touched, talked. A new needle to stick in my arm and make me feel like if I could spin your heart again and again I could figure out what gives it its lasting appeal.
There is a chill, a blast, a scale, a note, the aftermath. We'll put our feelings in the past and to the door we'll beat a path. Even if we arrive too late, it doesn't matter. There are no brakes. So look around, and say, "Oh, great," 'cause all we've ever had is snakes.
We got snakes.
Another locking door? We'll use our limbs. We'll use our force, and if it fails just like before we'll just let nature take its course. I'll slit my eyes, you'll slit your tongue, two animals become one. Above us, wires from rafters hung, but watching us, they're loose. They're gone.
We got snakes. We got snakes, for God's sake. For God's sake, we got snakes.
Feel me coil around your bones, making nests and making homes, emanating glorious tones so now you'll never feel alone. "And so long after I am dead, and your old mournful skin has shed, you will abandon all your dread and simply face the sky," I said.
Feel me coil and wrap myself around, making brand new sounds that shine like gold. Feel my spirit pass through the emergency glass. Feel new life! Feel bold!
American lover, come over tonight. Don't sit on the fence and fret, you know it just isn't right. You've got plenty of problems, but don't run and hide. If you let them build up at your door, then they're liable to burst inside.
American lover, don't draw me a line, dare me to cross it and, when I refuse, just say, "Fine." I don't really need this! I know that you're strong. All I am asking is if we could please just get along.
Elliott Spitzer; oh, Hudson's Bay; oh, you KGB agents who all disappeared or defected to the CIA; oh, all of you gentlemen, we have one common bond: we all had American lovers and then we got caught.
American lover...
Call me a bastard. Call me a slave. Call me wicked, wild and violent. Call me depraved. Call me an angel. Call me on the phone. Call me the best fuck you ever had and ask when I'm coming home.
I'll let you know.
Goddamn your breath, fuck the hair on the back of my neck. They have conspired against me. Smoke curls from your lips. I can read signals but I never learned that many.
I have regrets, a list as long as my face, but keep talking. I'll give your partner some space to tell me how great you are. Keep your alibi straight so you can leave when you want to.
If good men get their just rewards, I'll fold my hands and I'll ask the Lord to let true love conquer petty things: a father's words, a diamond ring. But for now, you're parked out of Her holy sight at his mortgaged home every Friday night. I wish I knew the way I felt before you were with someone else.
I wish I knew the way I felt before you were with someone else.
-
I really like these!
Also, your mediafire link on pg.1 is broken. :c
-
I fixed it!
-
Yays!
-
I agree with the general consensus that Anachromance and He Said She Said are the strongest tracks, but after a few listens the title track has grown on me a lot as well.
-
We got reviewed by totally rad Canadian music blogger Matthew at i(heart)music (http://www.iheartmusic.net/serendipity/index.php?/archives/1540-Real-Estates.html)!!
-
Johnny wrote "American Lover" about me.
(This is what I tell myself every time I listen to it.)
-
Yeah Johnny, good to have the lyrics up. You are awesome!
-
NEEDZ MOAR HAIR STR8ENR
-
Johnny, this stuff sounds like something I would listen to if I were a character in High Fidelity. If you ever manage to make your way to the US, I'd love to try to book something with you guys.
-
I am not sure what I expected this to sound like but this is definitely not it. Hooray These Estates, you are the new troubadours of my heart. Also the mix sounds pretty damn nice for a first E.P. The snare drum could use some work but the guitars sound amazing.
-
i want denim jacket kid's shirt
-
he was wearing it at the time
-
And he has the eyes of a guy who would kill a man for trying to take his t-shirt.
-
The "release," such as it is, will be at the end of this month. If you've used PayPal you can buy it and the 192kbps download will be offered for free. I am going to try and work out a system so that you can download and make your own art. In the meantime here is a preview of what the art looks like.
(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k157/jcsunshine/covertunes-1-1-1.jpg)
(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k157/jcsunshine/covertunes-1-1-2.jpg)
-
Remember, play between Aug 18th and 27th for me and Ill mosh HARD.
-
1) Ryan, come see Architects & Builders on Aug. 24th at the Club.
2) If anyone has any ideas for press outlets or labels to send stuff to please let me know. I'm starting the media push - what little of it there is.
-
hey if you guys are ever interested in playing a show in the northwest you should let me know 'cause i could hook you up with a show in a second and it'd be pretty cool to do a show together. my band has managed to become fairly established in the seattle area and are pretty good friends with some of the more popular local bands so we could probably get something pretty legit going.
-
Well our Bandcamp (http://theseestates.bandcamp.com/) website is finally finished and you can actually buy our EP on it now.
The price structure breaks down as follows. You can still download the thing for free if you want, either in 128 kbps or the 192kbps M***af**e link from earlier in the thread, but if you would prefer to hear it in higher quality (anything from v0 mp3 to lossless) you can buy it - track by track, I'm asking at least $1.00 CAD per track, or at least $5.00 CAD for the whole shebang.
That's it! If you like us and you can afford it, please drop a couple bones on the record. It comes with printable album art that you fold up using this method (http://www.athensmusician.net/archive/2005-02-13_oragamicdholder.php). I think you can burn as many copies as you want.
-
Man if I had any money I would buy it
-
You don't have $5 Canadian? Isn't that worth, like, two pebbles? Two shitty pebbles?
-
Read my previous statement more slowly Dovey

I'm crossposting the following, so please ignore the tildes and lack of caps:
so for a tour fundraiser in march my band is going to be putting together a ~*live karaoke night*~ and i'm just wondering what you guys think when you look at this list of song suggestions. we're going to cap requests at like 40-ish so that we can have it go for a reasonable amount of time.
the way we're planning on working is: we're going to post the list of songs on like thursday of this week, and then we're going to start doing a media ~blitz~ to get the word out. first people who are going to get a crack at this are local alt-scene celebs, who we're going to let do it for free. for everyone else there's going to be a pricing tier where you get different stuff at each tier, but the basic level is that you get to do karaoke PLUS you get a live .mp3 of your performance. (we haven't hashed out all the deets for this yet.) we're considering cooking dinner for the top tier.
the idea is that you select your song ahead of time so we know what to practice. we're aiming for like 40 songs but if we come way under we're still going to push the fuck out of the event and practice a "potpourri" selection of tunes that will then make it to that night, and we'll publish a signup sheet for that night that will basically be first-come first-serve. since we are also capping it and trying to do it in advance we're also going to offer to learn whatever song you actually want us to learn. i think.

-
Fuck, this is a really rad idea and I'm upset I don't live in Regina.
There's better songs by Electric Six depending on how popular they are with your fanbase in the first place.
-
Do a Metric song! Maybe Gimmie Sympathy.
-
Fuck, this is a really rad idea and I'm upset I don't live in Regina.
Well man we cribbed it from bands in bigger cities.
-
Yeah for once I agree with Gene. I'd totally do the Best Ever Death Metal Band out of Denton... the only thing I can think of is to just straight up take requests and not have a list at all. It just seems simpler
-
Do not even attempt to cover Young Americans unless you have a crackerjack sax player on hand. Otherwise the point?
-
The rationale for the list is just so we give people something to work with. People can also request whatever the hell they want to sing, within reason, and we'll learn it.
Do not even attempt to cover Young Americans unless you have a crackerjack sax player on hand. Otherwise the point?
Done. We had a horn section at our EP release and we're aiming to have one around for local shows whenever possible, I think.
-
Yeah for once I agree with Gene. I'd totally do the Best Ever Death Metal Band out of Denton... the only thing I can think of is to just straight up take requests and not have a list at all. It just seems simpler
What are we agreeing on?
-
Do a quasi-cover of New York's Alright If You Like Saxophones by Fear but rewrite the lyrics so they're about Winnipeg.
Cover:
PRINCE-
Controversy
When Doves Cry
LIMP BIZKIT-
Behind Blue Eyes
-
You're in Canada and there is no Weakerthans?
One Great City! would be my recommendation.
Edited because I am blind as a bat but don't have the SONAR abilities.
-
Fuck that.
I'd go with Plea from a Cat Named Virtute, Aside, and Watermark.
-
LIMP BIZKIT-
Behind Blue Eyes
OK so I know yr doing this to deliberately get a rise out of folks but hhhhrrrnnnngggggg nonetheless
-
Weakerthans are sandwiched between Constantines and Hold Steady.
-
Haha motherfuckers I guessed right.
-
What are we agreeing on?
Fuck, this is a really rad idea and I'm upset I don't live in Regina.
that part! yay!
-
Play more Maiden, you faggots.
-
The list is really long so I haven't finished looking at it but how do you have Arcade Fire and no Wake Up, it's so fun to sing...
edit1:
why did you spell i will follow you into the dark like that... you should add Sound of Settling just because.
also, for Okkervil River, add The Latest Toughs! And maybe Unless It's Kicks? that one is quite a bit wordy though. well wait it's will sheff
edit2:
And yes, Metric is good, also if you do have horns, Sex Bomb.
And more Beatles. Duh.
-
Seriously though play more Maiden
-
Man if I had any money I would buy it
i would believe you if you did not have a long history of untruths and utter falsehoods.
i will add this one to the list. Liar.
-
what
-
It's in alphabetical order now!
-
Do 'Work Hard/Play Hard' by Palace Music.
-
MODERN LOVERS: Roadrunner, Dignified and Old, Modern World (anything off that first album, really)
Considering hitchhiking to Regina to do a karaoke version of "I"m Straight".
-
Do "Pablo Picasso" instead.
-
I'll keep that one up my sleeve for the encore.
-
the Long Winters "Prom Night at Hater High"
You guys seem like you could play the hell out of that song.
-
Yeah - that's one of my favourite songs, and i already know how to play it. Not a bad idea.
-
^^^^
Okay the drummer quit like a month before that thing so this never panned out. It was the most frustrating!
Here's two songs the new three-piece lineup is working on, just so nobody thinks we're totally dormant:

-
£3 well spent I'd say, I love what I hear and I'd always like to think if I ever did something people would be nice enough to buy it. Digital distribution ftw!
But seriously, great Extended Play. Hope you find a drummer soon.

Hey! I haven't posted on QC in a long time but I know I still got bros back here, and some of those bros might be interested in this music. We've finally got an LP coming out this year, and the first track, "Stone Cold Summer," is streaming on Bandcamp as we speak.
You can listen to it here (http://theseestates.bandcamp.com/).
