The whole band was excited to explore the nuances of our music, and experiment with bringing our songwriting to the unplugged arena. The results really moved us, and sometime soon we’ll have the songs mixed and available to you for free ! I truly can’t wait to unveil them, as I think some tunes really benefitted from the acoustic setting…

T-Mobile and Fender Musical Instruments have joined together and created an amazing new phone specifically geared towards musicians and music lovers alike! There are great APPS for this phone that can do everything from helping tune your guitar to recording a demo of a new song and sending it to your email as an MP3.

The Great News:
Thanks to Fender Musical Instruments and our producer/manager, Spencer, we have been selected by T-Mobile and Fender to be featured in their ads for the phone in Rolling Stone (yes, that magazine). We are taking part in a three issue campaign to bring awareness of this new Fender Phone to the music loving public, following their first announcement featuring Eric Clapton. After an amazing photo shoot at The Bell House in Park Slope, Brooklyn we flew to Seattle for a live, in-studio Rolling Stone performance which will debut and be featured on www.rollingstone.com.

We could need feel more honored or humbled by this opportunity! We ended up playing three songs from our Debut Record and a brand new song which we are so proud of, (titled: Citizens of the World) which we wrote for a world music initiative in connection with Equus World (more details to follow).

In any case, thanks to all of you, the fans who make every venture we become involved with worth while. We love writing and performing (leaving for a US club tour in March and playing SXSW—- and we can’t wait to share more news as things happen in 2010!

It was super fun! We filmed 2 videos in 4 days. The director Deco Dawson is very talented, and you will all see soon what he has shot and edited together for ON A WHIM and TALK ABOUT IT. These are exciting times! Our 1st shoot location was The Royal Albert Hotel, which now stands abandoned, save for the 1st floor rock club still in use. 3 floors of peeling paint, and dust mites and destroyed bathrooms. 3 floors of ghosts and history. The hotel itself was alive, and we filmed there for 14 straight hours. The next day we visited a train yard and set up as if to play a show on the tracks in the weeds. Mosquitoes ruled the day, and luckily it cooled down quick and ther lost interest in us. On A Whim was filmed at this location. We also had some extras in this video, and I can’t wait for you to see them ! As soon as we got back from Canada, William and I left for LA. More on that later !

FLYING MACHINES
METEOR 17 / EMI
The fact that Flying Machines appropriates the name of James Taylor’s first outfit, pre-his “Sweet Baby James” stardom, and that the band’s sound echoes an unlikely mix of Freddy Mercury, Eric Carmen and Ben Folds with a load of high voltage amplitude tossed in, doesn’t belie their fresh enthusiasm on this, their stirring debut. Youthful indulgence aside, the band emits an earnest attitude and an effusive exuberance that engulfs the entire LP and ups the antes via a high-octane assault. Propulsive rhythms and catchy melodies predominate here, with songs like “Video Games, “Hopelessly Alone” and “Cleaning the Boards” providing the most lingering impressions. Likewise, the occasional moment of emotional respite – as offered through “I Don’t Remember Why” and “Stay” — suggests that while the lads might eventually mellow with age, they’ll clearly do so gracefully. Indeed, their astute arrangements and a clear sense of confidence — buoyed no doubt by the input and encouragement of mentor and veteran hit-maker Spencer Proffer — make a commercial breakthrough an imminent possibility. All in all then, an impressive introduction, one which gives future offerings ample cause for anticipation. Watch for the Flying Machines to take off quickly.

–Lee Zimmerman
