Our screening date and time has not been determined but we will post all the details when we get it! And don't forget that on Saturday, October 27th we will be premiering the video at The Creek and The Cave in Long Island City!
Video Premiere/Halloween Party
Mark your calendars for our Video Premiere and Halloween Party on Saturday, October 27th! We'll be bringing the rock to Long Island City and The Creek and The Cave - a very cool, artist-friendly bar-restaurant-theatre. It's ONE subway stop from Manhattan on the 7 train (Vernon-Jackson Ave.) and it's ONE block from the subway.
Steve O'Donnell (Pop Mafia) will also unveil his new band, The Proceeders, featuring AJ and Pokey of Leeway, and we'll be adding a few more bands to the lineup.
As an added bonus, daylight savings ends that night so you get an extra hour to PARTY!!!!
Wish You Were Mine Video/Short Film
So we filmed the video/short film for "Wish You Were Mine" this past weekend and it was such a great experience! Tom Wendling made his directorial debut and it couldn't have gone any better! We had an incredible cast and crew and everything ran so smoothly - thanks especially to our fearless producer Jordan Cooke. Major props go out to the rest of our hard working, generous and talented production team - Rommel Genciana (director of photography), Rose Barrett (art director/wardrobe/makeup/miniature-animator), Zita Vasilisinova (first assistant director), Nick Vega, Paul (I forgot your last name but we'll get it right in the final credits), Yae Mitomi, Andrea (I also forgot your last name but we'll also get it right in the final credits) and everyone else who helped work crew and set construction.
A million thanks go to actress Kat Wisener (who ironically enough has a website called -(www.katwisener.com) for perfectly portraying the mortally-challenged leading lady in this production. And of course we've gotta throw some love to Steve O'Donnell - videographer, gravedigger and official ambassador of good will on this shoot. Special thanks go to Peter A. Jackson at Hunter College for use of facilities and soundstage!
The project is now in the hands of Tai, who has begun editing and we hope to have the final cut up and running in September! Come back and visit to see some pics soon!

Early Edison on iTunes!
Three months after the Holidays (or is it nine months before the holidays?), our song "Waiting For George Bailey" is finally available on iTunes. Download it and snuggle up with some hot chocolate and decorate your Christmas tree!
Well, we've finally finished our CD and we're looking into some outlets for distribution. It will definitely be up on iTunes and hopefully we'll work out something where you can find it in stores and online soon.

1-800-OK-Cable
So we found out that our new commercial for 1-800-OK-Cable started running! It co-stars the lovely Lori McNally and we filmed it months ago in a killer loft in Williamsburg, Bklyn. Quite honestly we didn't know when or if they would run it... Definitely drop us a line if you see it and let us know when and on what channel you saw it! We hope to get an mpeg of it on the site in the next few weeks!
CD single of (Waiting for) George Bailey
Our CD single of (Waiting for) George Bailey went to radio for the holiday season! And we’d like to thank all the stations that played it, especially Gary Cee at WPDH (Poughkeepsie), Harlan Friedman of WLIR (Long Island) and The Bone, Brian Cosgrove of WEHM (East Hampton) and Rich Hughes of WUSB (Stony Brook).
Full-Length Early Edison CD
Work continues on the new full-length Early Edison CD … The CD will include many familiar songs that have never made it to a full-length album as well as new material. We've recorded over 20 songs in the past year and are whittling down our choices as we enter into the mixing phase.
Check out a theme song I wrote and recorded for The Imponderables… A sketch comedy troupe from north of the border, these four amusing lads are the recent winners of the 2005 Canadian Comedy Awards for Best Sketch Comedy Group. They are currently headlining the main stage at the legendary Second City in Toronto and have received a great many accolades in Canada. Hopefully we can get their sorry asses down to NYC one day!
Also, since we're living in an ipod world now… we're going to be sporadically posting some new Early Edison recordings. We'll send a notice to the mailing list with a direct link so you can download it with no hassles. Having the ProTools setup has allowed us to track tons of material and we've stockpiled a shizzitload of tunes. So we thought it'd be cool to post what we're doing now and again. You'll have to excuse the quality on some of the recordings but I think you'll like most of what we're doing.
New York Times Press Article
"Early Edison is a really fresh, high-energy pop band ... mixes the alternative toughness of the late-1980's Minneapolis music scene and the lyrical and infectious melodicism of succeeding British invasion bands." - Robbie Woliver
