The Static Age aus VermontAm 10.09.2009 LIVE im Kap Tormentoso!!! Ab 21 Uhr Eintritt Frei!!!Was Euch erwartet:Vom 2.Juli bis 2.August werden The Static Age aus Vermont (http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/The_static_age) nach Europa kommen. Die Band besteht aus ehemaligen Mitgliedern der Bands River City Rebels und Say Anything und spielt tollen Postcore, der in den USA durch Touren mit Bands wie The Bronx, AFI und Darker My Love längst Kultstatus hat. Neben den großen Shows, die wir in England spielen werden, wollten wir auch ein paar kleinere, schöne Klubs auf dem Festland besuchen und da mussten wir auch sofort ans Kap Tormentoso denken.Hörbeispiele unter: www. myspace. com/thestaticageund hier ist ein promotext: Promotion text (for pitching promoters, etc): Emerging from the idealistic side of punk rock and inspired by the last 30 years of alternative music, The Static Age have evolved their own genre-defying sound -- one that infuses melody, atmosphere, and a pulsating back beat -- to bring forth an unmistakable urgency and honesty in their songs. The unique weave of beautifully weathered vocals, textured guitars, and elegant keyboard melodies all sitting atop the backdrop of punchy, chorus-drenched bass and a layer of tempered drums is resulting in an emotionally resonant and danceable collection of songs that sounds like nothing else before it. The Static Age is Andrew Paley (vocals, guitars, keyboards/programming), Adam Meilleur (bass), and Dave Joyal (drums). Over the past few years, The Static Age has released two critically-acclaimed albums (2005's "Neon Nights Electric Lives" on Tarantulas Records -- with appearances by Jade Puget of AFI and D. Walsh of The Explosion/The Loved Ones -- and 2006's "Blank Screens" on ReIgnition Records), toured extensively in North America with bands like AFI, Tiger Army, A Place to Bury Strangers, Street Dogs, The Explosion, Silent Drive, As Tall As Lions, and appeared on many shows with Interpol, The Bronx, Darker My Love, Cave In, Thursday, The Start, Junius, and many more. The band is booked in North America by Stormy Shepherd at Leave Home Booking (AFI, Tiger Army, The Offspring, Rancid, and many others). In early 2009, The Static Age is recording a followup to "Blank Screens" and laying plans for its first tour through Europe during the summer.Press quotes regarding "Neon Nights Electric Lives" and "Blank Screens": NEON NIGHTS ELECTRIC LIVES"An absolute classic" -- ROCKSOUND MAGAZINE"Holy Sh!t, everyone who likes anything, ranging from THE CURE to THE POLICE to COMMUNIQUE to AFI needs to get this CD.
