Sunday Night Air War gets to share the stage with TWO awesome Touring Bands: BURY MY TEETH from Chicago && WAH WAH EXIT WOUND from Seattle!
We played with WWEW back in March, and these guys blew our minds in. Serious POWER Trio (and at the time we saw them, very recently-pared from a foursome) that conjured some serious metal~prog~psych~spazzjazz feelings, and then melted that ish all over our thirdeye. Check a couple of excerpts bee low — the second one is FIYA:
Bury My Teeth promise to be something special too, so this is something you’d be better off not missing, if you’re not into missing things that will rock your spleen inside out! A perfect PDX Popnow après fête digestion aide! SUNDAY JULY 27th DUCKETT’S // 825 N. KILLINGSWORTH (near Albina intersection)
I realized that as our blogging has slowed down a bit, when we do blog, it’s typically to tell everyone ‘Hey, come to our show’. That’s not really particularly exciting to read, so I thought I’d give a brief photo blog about what’s new in the Air World. Ouch. Bad pun. Anyway, the list is as follows:
new electronics projects (and the associated Solar Hits)
our neighbors (Portland rock-scene veterans) had a baby
Greg is experimenting with new kombucha flavors
we put new trippy lights in the practice space
we got some cool tapes
we've purchased several new Fender musical instruments
the roses are blooming EVERYWHERE...it's awesome!
That pretty much sums it up, unless Cord or Greg have more to add.
Greetings. We haven’t been keeping up in the blogosphere much, so I thought I’d write a few lines, even though I really should be sleeping. Gotta make that chedda, ya know? Oh no, my rap slang is a bit dated. Must mean I’m getting old.
The creative fount has been spurting all over the practice room lately, and we’ve been writing weird and neat songs that tickle my brain. It seems that the ideas have been flowing freely, and it’s best to just run with it.
At the house show we recently played, we passed out bits of paper and pens to see if the audience could come up with some lyrics to one of our new songs. The experiment half worked. We may need to revise our technique a little, but it’s got potential. I was thinking about maybe adding a Javascript form on our website that would allow random creeps on the internet to submit lyrical ideas. It might work. We’re bad at audience participation or even interaction, so this may be a nice computer nerd alternative. Maybe we could get super meta and write lyrics about people helpings write lyrics. No…too abstract.
Regardless, we’ve got more upcoming songs than shows this summer. I guess we should try to put more effort into that. If anyone needs 3 awkward dudes to thrash around in odd time signatures while ignoring their surroundings, we might be able to help you with that. Let us know.
Hi. Hey um…we haven’t blogged in a month or so. Oops. Sorry about that. It’s because it’s been SUNNY a whole lot lately. sunny>blogging. That’s just one of those imho things though. Anyway, something even better than sun and blogging is playing rock and roll shows, which we aim to do this Friday. We’ll be playing a house show with a few other bands, some touring and some local. The address is 4209 SE 63rd, Portland, OR, and if I were to going to ask the internet to draw me a map of how to get there, it would probably look something like this:
I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t know the names of those other bands we’re playing with. That’s my bad. It’s gonna be really fun though, I promise. You should totally go. We should start playing our music at 9:00. Don’t be late!
Hands for Clifford comes from our November-January recording sessions. It’s the first mix we’ve completed, and thus far is our only instrumental. Click on the song title to download it. Hope you dig it!
HI. GUESS WHAT? I’M BACK FROM LOUISIANA. AND I HATE AIRPORTS. AND LOWERCASE.
Just in case anyone actually reads this, we’re playing this Ffffffriday at The Jolly Inn with Danger Death Ray, Wah Wah Exit Wound, and Tuck and Roll. My guess is that we’re playing first. The Jolly Inn is next to Ladd’s Addition, right about:
As a follow up to my earlier blog, the verdict is in…Portland Custom Works totally fucking rules. They fixed my Orange within 2 weeks, and it sounds great. I’ll be able to use it for the show Monday.
If your shit breaks, bring it there. They can fix any kind of amp, keyboard, pedal, guitar, or bass you’ve got. Really good dudes. They also specialize in making your non-broken stuff sound better. They really get it, brah.
