Bromide as Velvet Underground for H-ween this year, and I'm John Cale. I take Halloween very seriously because of where I was raised, so I've been doing research.

Do I go with this look?

You know what I hate hunting for?

Band photos. (Yes, I know that might sound goofy coming from me. :P) I hardly ever look for them, so this means I don't know of the easiest place to find them when I'm looking for something specific.

Halp me, flist: I need photos of John Cale, specifically from the period he was in the Velvet Underground ( Read more... )

For a long time, Chief Bromide tied three songs together that we called "The Trilogy." For the couple of you that bought "Chief Bromide Land," the songs were "Shadow Puppets," "Proverbs for Paranoids," and a third song called "Extreme Sports Song For Snowboarding on Broken Glass (etc)," which is off our EP "High Windows" (which should be up on ( Read more... )

HEY, YOU.

Chief Bromide's debut album "Chief Bromide Land" is finally up on iTunes.

That's right. Right here.If anyone wants to support us, go get it. You would have no idea how grateful we'd be if you did ( Read more... )

Played a song that is (at least temporarily, possibly permanently) called "!" at a show on Monday. First time we performed it, and we haven't even been rehearsing it that long. Probably the weirdest song I've written, and it also features the most fucked-up lyrics I've ever written. Fortunately, I don't think you can understand them since the place ( Read more... )

Live video recordings hardly ever sound good since most hand-helds have really shitty microphones, especially when it comes to really loud things. This one is one of the better live vids taken of us. The beginning sounds a bit goofy because the guy was standing too close to the amps and not close enough to the PA, but it gets better about halfway ( Read more... )

1. It's Thursday. You know what that means.

2. This is probably my favorite review of Chief Bromide thus far.

Quote: While whiny folk who fuss and pout over the inability to understand every word might not like this, I believe that there is a place where the vocals should be noted more for their blend and effect rather than being on the soapbox ( Read more... )

HO. Hello, I am made of cheese today.

So. Bromide's got some initial discussion of this going on.

I've posted random tracks here and there of Chief Bromide. Some of you seem to like it. Question is, how much?

We're considering something, and we're basically trying to figure out if it would be worth our time and money doing so.

Okay, so I disappeared off the face of the internet (except for Facebook). I shall not explain why, because it's long and involved and will likely bore everyone, anyway. I will say it's not you guys. Let's just blame it on summer.

I'm probably on my way to resurfacing, though.

In the meantime, I'm pimping this:

1. The new song we're working on in Bromide kicks so much ass. We decided it had a very Deep Purple vibe to it, and then decided that was okay. It's songs like those that make me love playing bass lines. Key bass FTW, as always ( Read more... )
