i just listened to your new song on myspace. good stuff!

I very much likey Cantankers' song as well - and it is a very sweet dedication to her man.

i'm uploading another one that i am actually compelled to feel PROUD OF (almost) on myspace
it should show up in a little while

i don't usually do this but i have to say, please please please listen to this one ('scorpio rising')

http://www.myspace.com/pinkmoonband

alright it's up, GO FKN LISTEN TO IT. pretty please.

it's the best thing i've ever done. swear to god.

I like the guitar wailing. No vocalage?

What did you use for the drums?

nope. me being clever.

I should be getting my drum mics here in a week or so....I'm pumped to be able to record.

i just listened to it again and i have to say fuck it, i AM proud of it

edit

you should record drum parts and send them to me to download so i don't have to use loops

I could prob. do that.....I bring the thunder.

I've listened to "Scorpio Rising" and I'm really impressed by it. It has a great rhythm/groove to it, the guitar sounds are great, and that descending riff is well catchy. All over, an excellent tune and a good progression/development from her "Black Magic". Well done there, C :)

thank you once again

the mp3 on my computer sounds so much better, there's a noticeable loss of quality on myspace

i might add that this was completely improvised

^^goodluck with that, the beginnings of a new project are always a blast!

And Cantank, love your version of julia (n) I'll stop hitting on you even though you are a fox, you've got something special going on. touching.

Anyways...

www.myspace.com/rememberthatband (The Harlequins)

We just got some live recordings from a local festival we played in June back to us so I posted them on that myspace page. Let me know what you guys think, I put up 3 originals and a cover from that show!!!!!

Also, I'm psyched, we're about to play midpoint music festival in cinci (formerly mid by midwest festival) and we got our first write up in CITY BEAT (citywide entertainment paper)

"With a solid, swoony rhythm section -- which helps create the crest and fall of this band's simple yet effective soundscapes -- and a vocal crooner who crafts swaying, mesmerizing melodies, The Harlequins have become one of the more intruiging new bands in Cincinnati's Indie scene. There is an unforced shimmer to the band's unique glide.
"

(feedback, feedback, feedback please) :-) :-P :-[

Not bad. The first song is right catchy.

Thanks! nice video btw!

how long did that take?

the instrument?
initially about 15 minutes, but it's been evolving for years.
