Oh I think we're going to book this under a "band name" - Tartar Lamb or Tartarian Lamb or Eggplant or something like that...

 

[xfer]

awesome! so you're going to expand the performance so there's roles for those guys, play westward, record 60 in a studio (not live) in Seattle, and then play back eastward?

 

[pixiesfan]

Will this be released by yourself, or under somebodies label?

 

[FuSoYa]

I don't know if any label will release it, but all of the ones that I sent the demos to turned it down!

 

[Astral Poetry]

I seriously don't understand it. I'd pitch in a small donation if you're going to be self-releasing it.

Now that's something I'd like to see!!!


But I've been troubled by the word Metonymies.

Is it pronounced: Meh-toe-nai-meez?

 

[xfer]

meh TAH nuh meez

plural of "metonymy"

which, embarassingly, had to be pointed out to me, the english teacher.

 

[Helm]

No, sorry.

meh-toh-nee-MEE-es.

plural of 'Metonymia'.

 

[4LAO]

meh TAH nuh meez

plural of "metonymy"

You're an english teacher?

Toby, did you ever hear back from Mark? I havent talked to him in a while....he is on vacation.

f'in greex

 

[FuSoYa]

Nope, I never heard back from a single person except steve from cuneiform, and he got the shittiest demo of them all (a shitty home recording of the whole piece as opposed to the live excerpt I sent mark)

 

[Barista_Dot]

bummer, I'll have to see if he even listened to it. We get the shittiest demos in mass quantities, so it could have been lost in the mess. I'll see what the story is when he comes back.

 

[avi]

I'll see what I can do

1/15 Pittsburgh

If you run into trouble booking a show in Pittsburgh, I can get you one in State College.

It is in the middle of the state.

 

[FuSoYa]

Hey, that might be preferable actually! Our pittsburgh show is tonight (KD), so I'll see what the turnout is like - if no one shows up, it might not be worthwhile to try and come back here...

Well, the Pittsburgh show seemed decently crowded.

If you're interested in booking a show here, I'd be more than happy too try and help you out. It's a decently sized town when college is in session (home to Penn State University -40,000 or so students-) but I can't say that there is a "thriving" music scene. I'd recommend finicially going to Pittsburgh if you can.

But like I said, I'd be more than happy too organize something for you and put you guys up for the night if need be.

not to ultra obliterate toby's thread but i could use a show at state college sometime in march...would that be possible? i'm going to do a solo tour then.
