All 3 bands are excellent.

Right now Russian Circles is burning all kinds of lies from my soul.

Oh shit yeah, Secret Machines are setting up! :rockon:

I have seen SM once for every album. 2002 for the EP, 2005 for NHIN, and in 2006 for 10SD at a festival.
I guess they have a new guy replacing that one guy and they had a t-shirt for sale that said "dreaming of dreaming", so apparently that's the new album title?

Secret Machines setlist:
01. *New Song*
02. Alone, Jealous and Stoned
03. Lightning Blue Eyes
04. Sad and Lonely
05. *New Song*

If the new songs are any indication, the new album is going to be AWESOME.

turn your phone off and enjoy the music. this is disgusting.

i was thinking of saying that but then i figured id cut him some slack if he was doing it in between bands

even then you should enjoy the sweaty atmosphere

i hope coheed rocks

:mad:

I am texting in between bands. I'm in the balcony and I love it. Well, I guess I texted during RC but that was because they tore my face off with their awesomeness.

the piano riff to you are chains is always in my head. sm is a pretty decent band. check out their remix of temptation by new order. incredible.

Coheed was so awesome. Played mt favorite song and for an encore, I guess to make up for all the radio-friendly songs on the set, they played "Welcome Home" with a super extended jam that lasted like, 15 or 20 minutes.

First it started with the whole band, then one by one they left until the drummer was the only one. He did a 10 minute drum solo.

He did a 10 minute drum solo.

that couldn't have been enjoyable

i've sat through drum solos a lot longer than 10 minutes

i've fat through drum solos a lot longer than 10 minutes and still had fried chicken to spare

Fixed

coheed and cambria is where i draw the line D

care to up this?

it was awesome for me, but even the hardcore fans next to me left after like 10 minutes of jamming.

coheed and cambria is where i draw the line D
lol...but i really love them. and they played my fave song! but they butchered it by adding 2 other teases of songs into the break of the song, which is the best part, but whatev.

werd, so horrible. :banging:

werd

so horrible


.

Hahaha I didn't know people listened to Coheed still.

:erm:

Hahaha I didn't know people listened to Coheed still.

:erm:

what we certainly dont need here is another Mars Volta fan telling us what not to listen to.

Well, considering that Coheed and Cambria is just a nasty fusion of Rush, and shitty Nu-Metal, well I think you do.

ridiculous

Welcome Home was fucking amazing though.

lol

that couldn't have been enjoyable

considering their drummer is this dude, i'm sure it was:

on that note, fuck Coheed and Cambria and fuck Chris Pennie for leaving the almighty Dillinger Escape Plan to join them.

OMG the drum solo was tight, yo.

Hahaha I didn't know people listened to Coheed still.

:erm:

oh and who are you? get the fuck off my messageboard.

The Secret Machines are a three-piece American rock band. Originally from Dallas, Texas before moving to New York City, they describe their band as space rock. The original lineup consisted of two brothers, Brandon and Benjamin Curtis, and Josh Garza. In March 2007, Benjamin left the band. The remaining members will be returning to the studio in May to record their third album. They debuted new songs with new members recently at gigs at the High Line Ballroom and the Annex.

Before forming The Secret Machines the members played in various Dallas bands such as: UFOFU, Tripping Daisy, Comet and When Babies Eat Pennies, but perhaps the most significant was Captain Audio. Captain Audio was formed by Garza and vocalist/guitarist/chief songwriter Regina Chellew in the late 90s as a two-piece noise duo. Brandon and occasionally, Ben Curtis joined shortly thereafter as the original duo began to head toward a more standard rock sound. In a few months the band was getting regular local press and within a little over a year they had recorded and released the EP My Ears Are Ringing But My Heart's OK (1999) and the full-length LUXURY or Whether It Is Better To Be Loved than Feared (2000) to positive reviews. Shortly After the release of LUXURY the band went on an extended hiatus and eventually disbanded when the boys headed for New York, leaving Chellew behind in Dallas to form the band Chao and later joining indie pop outfit The Happy Bullets.

Captain Audio is essentially the same band as the Secret Machines, with the exception of Chellew. Sonically the groups are very similar, much more so than any of the members' other former bands. Although Captain Audio is a bit more prone to experimentation and sound collage and the Secret Machines are much more a standard indie rock band, the Captain Audio records form the template that the Curtis brothers built upon when they headed for New York. In the liner notes for Captain Audio's LUXURY, all of the additional musicians who played on the album are credited simply as "Secret Machines".

The band went to Chicago first, where they recorded their EP, September 000, six weeks after forming, before continuing to New York. The EP didn't sell well, but remained a hit on indie radio while "Marconi's Radio" and "Breathe" are fan favourites.

In 2004, The Secret Machines released their first full length CD - Now Here Is Nowhere. Their second EP, The Road Leads Where It's Led, was released on 7 June 2005. The song "Nowhere Again", from the their debut album, was used in promotional spots for American during its launch, and appeared in the 2006 videogame Driver: Parallel Lines. [1]

"Nowhere Again" is the band's biggest hit to date, being played at nearly every show since its conception.

Ten Silver Drops, their second album, leaked onto file sharing websites following the release of their lead single "Alone, Jealous and Stoned" in the UK.

The album once again did not sell well but garnered favorable reviews.

During this time, the band toured with Kings of Leon.

Benjamin Curtis left the band on March 3, 2007 to focus full time on his new band, School of Seven Bells. The news was posted by Brandon Curtis on the Secret Machines' messageboard.[2]

Since Ben left the band, the band played two shows in New York, one at the Annex, and the other at the newly opened Highline Ballroom. At these shows, the band played mostly new material, presumably to be put on the new album. They said that they would record the songs in May. They included two new members: Blasco (Interpol's touring keyboardist) on guitar, keyboards, and bass, and Phil E. Karnats on guitar. It is unknown whether they will be on the new album, and to what extent.

Josh Garza has said that the guitar slot will be more of a rotating cast of friends than a replacement for Ben. Phil Karnats, for example, played with Garza in many bands before Josh joined Secret Machines.

At the Highline Festival the band covered "Up the Hill Backwards," a David Bowie song from Scary Monsters. This was likely a thank you, as he chose the band to close the first-annual Highline Festival, which Bowie curated and attended.

Fan reception to the new songs and band has been mixed, with some missing Ben, and others enjoying the return to the heavier sound found on the debut LP "Now Here Is Nowhere."

The band finished recording quickly during May 2007 and are currently mastering and waiting to release the new album. Phil E. Karnats announced on his myspace blog that he recorded guitar parts for the album and will continue to play live with the band.

which one is your favorite song?

mine is "The Crowing"

I missed this thread the first time around...

04. Sad and Lonely
05. *New Song*

If the new songs are any indication, the new album is going to be AWESOME.

I missed them when they were here a few weeks ago. :/ I really wanted to go as it was in a small venue, but I ended up having to take care of other things.

I'd have been disappointed by that set (not a big fan of the Ten Silver Drops stuff), but it still would have been cool to see the new lineup and the new stuff.


there's a new secret machines song available for download today....

huh. promising.

yea, the new song is pretty damn good.....in that it sounds just like Secret Machines. I was never really sure how much of a contribution the guitarist brother had with the song/music writing....so i feared these guys were DONE after his departure. from the sounds of it, they aren't. that's a good thing.



Hey D. (or anyone), -- If you've got any Russian Circles to upload, I would appreciate it. :D :cool:

For me, nothing beats the 1-2 punch of the first two songs on their first album, "Time Consumer" and "Everything Evil".

Thx D. Whenever you get to the other one is fine.

I still owe you some Shiner stuff.

thx. once i get around to rippng the actual physical cds, i will have 2 more shiner LP's for you -- lula divinia and splay.

how are you digging the other stuff so far, btw? don't you love how when you expect things to be more simple or go nowhere, they completely exceed your expectations? at least thats how it went for me, when i first heard some of that stuff.

new album is terrible. i think i'm completely over C&C now.
The first and second time i saw them It was great. 3rd time was sorta lame.

^ i never liked them.
