Photos From Muggs Show (9/15) Posted

Fan of the night

I just posted a new Flickr set of last week’s show. It’s not as good as being there, but I know for a lot of you it’s the only option right now.

We’re playing tonight at The Horse. This will be our last show for the next month or so. Don’t miss it (if you’re in the area, of course).

Bitmap Video Now on SinchTV

Preview of Bitmap video

Check out the video for Bitmap, now on SinchTV!

This video was edited in real-time with the Ocular Noise Machine. If you’ve ever seen us live you should recognize this as being similar to how the song is performed live. And if you haven’t seen us live, well, this is what you’re missing.

Also just added to SinchTV: Plasma

Post (almost) Any Sinch Song on Your Site

On our Myspace site, we get a lot of requests from people to add different songs to our profile so they can add them to their site. The problem is, we can only have 4 songs up there and everyone wants a different song. We’ve tried rotating them but that’s a lot of work and we can’t really keep up with it.

But we have a better solution.

iJigg: Digg for Music

iJigg Logo

Today I came across a new site called iJigg. It’s like Digg for music. Visitors to the site can listen to songs and vote for ones they like, post comments on individual songs and even embed a song in their own website (or sites like Myspace).

What’s cool about this is that there doesn’t seem to be any limit on the amount of songs you can post. So far we have all of Clearing the Channel and a couple songs from Subdivisions, and we’ll be posting more soon. We get a lot of requests from people who want us to change the songs on our Myspace profile so they can add the song to their page. Everyone wants a different song and we have a limit of four, so inevitably we can’t please everyone.

But now you can go to iJigg and grab the HTML code for any song you want and add it wherever you want. And while you’re there you can vote for all of our songs and help push us up to the Most Popular list so other people can find us.

For anyone who hasn’t bought Subdivisions yet, have a listen to the lead-off track “Circles”:

SOUNDNOVA CONTEST

Soundnova - Clearing the Channel contest

Soundnova.com is currently running a Sinch contest. Five winners will receive autographed copies of our new album “Clearing the Channel” and that feeling of satisfaction you get when you realize that you finally won something. It’s free to sign up, so head over there now and get your name in.

Even if you already pre-ordered the album (it comes autographed for all pre-orders), you can always give one of them to a friend or family member. Or you could hide it away somewhere for years and years until it’s worth like a hundred thousand billion zillion bucks and then sell it on ebay.

NEW SONG AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD

Another full song from our soon-to-be released new album is availble for download on our new Pure Volume site.

The song is called “All That’s Left Behind.” This is the song we recently shot a video for.

Check it out on Pure Volume.

ALL AGES SHOW - CANCELLED! . UPDATED

FOR THE KIDS! (SORRY KIDS!)

The all ages show (below) that we just annouced a couple weeks ago has unfortunately been cancelled. Or more accurately, we are not able to play the show. It will probably still be going on, but we will not be there.

I know this is a kick in the face to everyone who has been waiting for an all ages show. We sincerely apologize and are doing everything we can to schedule another all ages date as soon as we can.

There is some good news though:

1. Once we get a few last details worked out, we will be announcing a release date for the new album. So stay tuned for that.

2. Everyone’s favorite song from the new album, “Identity Theft,” is featured in the new XBox game “Greg Hasting’s Tournament Paintball.” Here’s some info from the website:

“Greg Hastings’ Tournament Paintball offers the most complete and realistic paintball experience without taking a paintball to the chest. This fast, intense and dynamic game offers players a truly exhilarating sporting experience incorporating all the most integral elements of actual paintball action. With real pros, authentic venues, sponsors and equipment, Greg Hastings’ Tournament Paintball is the cornerstone of a new franchise and genre in the sporting games market.”
