Today is an AMAZING DAY for music. \o/

First up, we have the official release of Empires' BANG. Buy the deluxe version (FOUR WHOLE DOLLARS), because it has one extra song (Animal, which is beautiful), along with the two new tracks that weren't released before (Hello Lover, which I heard live and is fanfuckingtastic, and Voodooized, which gets me

aisoekrjlas ~scrambles for Christian's EP~ omfg. :D he's pretty much the only country i listen to any more, largely because it's got such a rough, untamed edge to it that i just fucking love. ngh.

and i just have to share, greenetno and i were discussing how fabulous it would be for Sean and Christian to do some kind of duet but then again maybe not, because they both already sound like sex on their own, if they joined forces we'd probably all be dead...

YAY I'm glad to have brought at least one fan's attention to it! He mentioned it out of the blue on Twitter yesterday and SUDDENLY WE HAVE IT! It's seriously effing amazing. I totally get what you mean about the untamed thing - it's not all polished or overproduced, just vivid and FUN. I love his Live in London album just as much as the original album, because both have the same quality of vividness to them.

Ahahaha um I THINK I WOULD DIE, YES. Their voices are both so unique and a little gritty and unffff. Combination = lethal. :D

WAIT YOU HAVE THE LIVE IN LONDON ALBUM?? ~whimpers at you~ actually. you know, i'm pretty sure i've only got portions of either of his albums. imma have to go digging when i get home. rattlesnake smile and sweet carolina rain pretty much live on my playlists, but imma thinkin' i need to make a ChrisK playlist...

right??? combine that with the thought of Beth and Tomrad combining their photographic talents to do a shoot with Chris and Empires and. we kinda broke our brains. it was wonderful.

Oh dude, totally! I've had it for years! I even have a copy that a friend got signed for me by Kane himself. :DD I just uploaded all my Kane to this folder. There's Live in London, Kane, and "Unknown Album" which has some random tracks which are actually some of my favorites. Enjoy!

Hee, you're welcome! I figured that not everyone lives on Twitter as I do, and that's definitely the only place I heard about these. I know you're gonna love em!! :DD

I'm still on the Empires mailing list so I've bought all the Bang releases so far, too. Idk, I have one of the first ed hard copies of Howl so I had to buy hard copy of this shizz too. Completist! I don't even listen to Empires right now because of my Adam Lambert obsession but for when I get off the crazy pop train for two seconds I will have good stuff waiting... And I like the really DIY yet solid way they approach marketing and promo. Do you know if they're even trying to get signed or if they're biding their time or what? Do they just want to be so independent they don't even go on an indie label? Am I silly for imagining they have some kind of dastardly plan here or is it all just them winging it?

[exsequar]

Yaaaaay Empires! I cannot fault you for being on a super Adam kick, for he is made of amazing and sparkles, but I do hope you come back to Bang soon because it's wonderful. :D

Tom was asked (...somewhere, I don't even remember where) whether they're trying to get signed, and he said that they really don't want to jump on anything that isn't totally perfect for them. So I guess the right opportunity just hasn't come around. And I think that's smart! They want to make sure they do what's right for the band, and in the meantime they're making amazing music and connecting with fans. I heartily approve. :)

EMPIRES AND CHRISTIAN KANE, OMG! It's been a pretty awesome Tuesday, all in all. :)
