Thanks so much to all the bands and everyone who came out. CMJ has a review of the show on their website - cmj.com. Also, for those of you who wanted to buy the album from insound.com - the link now works, sorry for any trouble. January 14, 2008 The Shondes are the Spin Magazine Band of the Day! January 8, 2008 The Red Sea is officially released! Come see The Shondes and 4 other great bands this friday at the Luna Lounge in Brooklyn! Advance praise for The Red Sea: At times, the Shondes conjure comparisons to post-punk's volatile spark on songs like "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" and "Let's Go," and yet they seem most inspired when the orchestra kicks in on "Your Monster" and "The Start Of Everything" as walls of shiver-inducing, epic violins crescendo. Louisa Rachel Solomon's vocals are strong, nimble and graceful on the band's self-released debut, which sees both complex song structures intertwined with direct, inquisitive lyrics. The result is an album rich in saw-tooth guitars, pummeling rhythms and an undeniably anthemic spirit. It's haunting and it's eerie, yet it's rousing. The Shondes are a twisted carnival film noir come true. "The Red Sea," is a visceral work. While they give much credit to the sounds that influenced them -- riot girl and queercore bands of the '90s, traditional Jewish music -- their moody songs are redolent of a time in the early '80s when punk fractured into something more tuneful and complex. Harmonies grow discordant, Eli Oberman's [violin] lends substantial melancholy to their quiet-loud dynamics. While being a radical, Judaic-bent, genderqueer, post-punk quartet sets The Shondes apart, being a political band whose music is as strong as its message is a rare treat. December 19, 2007 Hello! We've been on tour, which has been amazing. There was a mistake on this site regarding the date of our record release party at Luna Lounge, so to correct that:
So mark your calendars, blackberrys, forearms, etc. XOXO November 19, 2007 Our new album, The Red Sea, is done and on its way from the pressing plant! It's 11 songs and was recorded at Studio G (in Brooklyn) with Tony Maimone, and we're really excited about it. There are a few tracks from it available on our myspace - myspace.com/theshondes. We'll be having a record release party on January 11th at Luna Lounge in Brooklyn, but in advance of release of the album, we are going on a tour of the US, starting November 26th in Pittsburgh, PA. Look at the shows list to the right to find out where and when we'll be playing! Make sure to visit our tour blog or news, photos and good stories. One last exciting note - we're happy to announce that we will be working with Fanatic Promotion to promote the record and the tour! For the Shondes Tour Blog, click here: Tour Blog!
