scott 0 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Kickball They're totally awesome and totally unknown. I bet they'd do an interview. They're still in the "We are in awe of every scrap of publicity we receive" stage. myspace page= http://www.myspace.com/kickballl Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 taking notes... thanks for the input, guys! I'll look 'em up and let you know if/when anything develops. Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've sent out feelers to the publicists for: Okkervil River, Martin, I've finally gotten through to someone in their camp, who is following up with this for me. In fact, he's sending me their new CD. Hopefully I will be hearing something soon... Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Sia Furler--"Breathe Me" and a few others have received recognition. Our fearless leader (Carl) had elected to take this one, so when something comes of it, I'll let you know... Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Shawna, has this interview (with Broken Family Ban) happened? Just wondering .... B-F and Lucky... I sent them another follow-up, and no word. I'm thinking they have been swallowed up by the earth. Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 how about "We are Scientists"? Farin - I'm scheduled to talk with Keith tomorrow at 2 p.m. PST. Any particular questions you'd like asked? Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 woohoo I don't have many questions though I would like to know how they got to their name - even wikipedia doesn't have any good explanation for that... oh, and you could ask them what inspired them to do the song "After Hours"... I think Keith ones said it's about "death"? woohoo again Link to post Share on other sites
Levis 6 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 You could ask them how they thought of covering Hoppipola by sigur ros and if they had any professional help with the pronunciation of lyrics Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 oh, I didn't even know they covered that Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I am listening to that song as I type this. It's beautiful. But I don't eve know how to pronounce sigur ros, or hippipola. Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I would say "seegure ross" ('gure' like 'sure') and "hop-ee-polla" (I think that means 'jumping through puddles') Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) Thanks! I'm watching youtubes on these guys - they are hysterical. and oh, the musics great!

Shawna 1 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Keith was right in the middle of explaining to me how they came up with their band name, and the call was dropped. I'm hoping I'll get a call back from his rep here pretty quick... Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 oh no Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 no worries. He's gonna call me back today around 3:30 when they pull into Denver and the signal's better. Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 things are coming together with these suggestions, people! Remember I said it takes time... I was able to finish up my interview with Keith Murray (We Are Scientists), and now, thanks to some recon work by my beloved Blind-Fitter, I have scheduled Steve (the Broken Family Band) for Sunday. Seems their e-mail has been the recipient of hundreds of spam mails a day, and my e-mails had been erroneously relegated to the bucket. Upcoming is Okkervil River... TBA...

Farin 2 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 thanks for all the effort you put into this Shawna Link to post Share on other sites

Shawna 1 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 okay, the first interview from one of these suggested bands is now up. Check out Keith Murray of We Are Scientists Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 woohoo just one thing, from the headlines: "Here, lead singer Keith Murray talks about Letterman, the unique band name that causes foreheads to wrinkle, and the finer points of ignoring what's right in front of his eyes." my first thought was: since when are they named "Letterman"?

Levis 6 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Maybe change it to 'David Letterman' and remove the italics? Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 yeah... the show is actually "The Late Show with David Letterman," so I can see the confusion. I will tell the Big Guy it needs fixing for you foreigner types who don't know who *gasp* David Letterman is! :horrified graemlin: Link to post Share on other sites
