So I'm back. again.
It's been maad long (as it usually is...I don't even remember the last time I put up a new post. But I'm trying, I really am!)
Soo much has happened over the last month--I don't know where to start.
But I'll start with The Break contest...
So thanks to all of our fans, we had the great privilege of being accepted as one of the bands in the Break Contest, which is the official contest to play in the Bamboozle 2010 music festival. There were 4 rounds (all over the country), 3 of ours took place at the Trackside Teen Center in Wilton, CT. Each band was judged on presence, song material, crowd response, and of course, talent. We swept each round, to our surprise, and ended up at the Break Contest Finals at Gramercy theater. We didn't win the finals, but still got the opportunity to play at Bamboozle literally a week later.
BAM.BOO.ZLE.
Was insane, to say the least.At the end of a week of rehearsals, photo ops, interviews, and loss of sleep, came Bamboozle.
Day 1 was insane, we saw huge names like Drake, Ke$ha, Richy Nix, Paramore, and so many more perform; it was ridiculous.
We returned the morning after for Day 2 of Bamboozle. It started with our friends Wild International (www.myspace.com/wildinternational) tearing up their set. Check them out, they're awesome. Our good friend Dylan Owen absolutely rocked his set about an hour before we went on stage. Our set time was 3:40, and for the first time since the Apollo Theater, we were soo nervous, to say the least. But once the intro started, we got in the zone and put on the best show of our lives. Here's a sample of what it looked like:
Time of my life. You have no idea...for more pictures, check out www.flickr.com/triplejmusic
But this week is our week off from 5 straight weeks of performing. Next weekend, we have a show at Columbia University--you should all go, it's gonna be dope.
The weekend after that, we're playing at BOMBfest, a huge music festival in Connecticut with Lupe Fiasco, The Cool Kids, Girl Talk, Mutemath, and 30 Seconds to Mars. It's gonna be insane.
We're finishing up the EP, getting tracks mixed and mastered. Expect it out sometime in mid to late June. In the meantime, we're writing material for our first full-length album, which will probably be out sometime next fall.
COMING SOON: "Infected" (MASTERED VERSION) and my "Of Mics and Men" EP on iTunes...I promise you won't be disappointed.
Till next time, (hopefully soon)
Trops.
