So, the first (that i know of) day of lions inspired video is up at You Tube. The adorable Mykey from Thousand Oaks, CA made it. I had nothing to do with the making of this video, but i thought it was cool and wanted to show you guys...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN9t9Bcgisc
.NEWS.
The day of lions/flashing red lights split is out. you can thank the lovely people at Yukon Records in Los Angeles for all their hard work! the LA cd release was amazing! The Portland show at the holocene was also a nice one, with sexton blake and j. nichalas allard playing. be sure to pick up a copy!
what other people have to say about day of lions...
"Lead by the rarest of things in this genre (a female), her presence alone is enough to illustrate the otherwise foreign concept that girls don't have to be the enemy” - Portland Mercury
"The sheer talent apparent in this band is bound to get them places...hints of jazz and the blues... [Gena] proves that Seattle isn't the only home of the Northwest indie. Strongly recommended." -Boston Globe
"plodding, studies in bummer relationships, loneliness and resignation" -Anchorage Daily News
"very soothing and kind of charming, [Gena's] nonchalant approach to the vocals matches up nicely with the mellow and chordy guitar parts" -Status Magazine
"Acoustic and undistorted electric guitars strum gentle chords while haunted chanteuse Gena Gastaldi blows her moody zephyr voice into the mic." -Willamette Week
cds available on www.cdbaby.com and www.yukonrecords.com
