Flaming Fire - "High Bell"


Flaming Fire are on Silly Bird Records and are releasing (released?) their new album When The High Bell Rings. Apparently you can buy it for $13, but it might be a pre-order, that could get you a deluxe copy if you are one of the first hundred.

Flaming Fire have been called freak-rock, and it seems to be a somewhat fitting description. I'm not sure if the trend will catch on like freak folk and other similar collectives did, but check this out and enjoy it. They also have some kind of illustrated bible project as well.

Catfish Haven @ The Delicious | 10/08/06

Catfish Haven - Crazy For Leaving


Catfish Haven played Fayetteville's most unknown venue, The Delicious, Sunday night. Basically The Delicious is a house and now and then bands will play there and its always free with donations for the bands. Usually the acts play in the "Basement", but this one was in the living room. Local band Tel Aviv brought plenty of their fans in for a packed room, and most stayed for Catfish Haven. The set was a good mix of both their EP and Tell Me. Make a note to catch them on tour.

Mute Math's "Plan B" is also currently iTunes' single of the week. (Application Link)

This is probably the peak of the album.The rest sounds more like this with vocal duties being traded multiple times.

Woven Hand is also currently on tour with Serena-Maneesh and The Evangelicals until the 6th of October.
Seattlest, after seeing them live, apparently thinks "Woven Hand sucks it".
