We can dance, we can dance down to nothing
Today is an AMAZING DAY for music. \o/
First up, we have the official release of Empires' BANG. Buy the deluxe version (FOUR WHOLE DOLLARS), because it has one extra song (Animal, which is beautiful), along with the two new tracks that weren't released before (Hello Lover, which I heard live and is fanfuckingtastic, and Voodooized, which gets me right where I live), AND a whole set of gorgeous photos by Tom and a lovely video shot by Ryan that follows them around some shows and gets some commentary on the making of this album. In short, I love them, and you should too. ♥
Secondly, CHRISTIAN KANE's EP came out yesterday!!! Totally unexpected and extremely happy making. I have been waiting for a new Kane album for LITERALLY THREE YEARS, and it's everything I could have hoped for! Rockin and catchy and just full of so much life. Kane is the only country band I've ever liked enough to really listen to, but Christian really has something special. I want to roll around in his voice forever. One of the songs is about an awesome girl who picks HIM up in a bar by buying him a whiskey! It's sexy and so much fun! Also still around is THE HOUSE RULES, which is still just as awesome as it was a few years ago.
I am truly delighted by both of these occurrances. Even if you haven't given Empires a try, I highly recommend checking out BANG (you can pay only $2 for the full not-deluxe album!) because it's head and shoulders their best work to date, and just a really really solid and interesting rock album. I am so proud of them. ♥

Ahahaha um I THINK I WOULD DIE, YES. Their voices are both so unique and a little gritty and unffff. Combination = lethal. :D

Although, dude, if you can spare the $15, it might be worth buying it here? I mean, from what I can tell, Christian is still not affiliated with any major label and I do like to suggest that people support indie music. (not trying to be bossy! just, you know, cheerleading for mr. Kane.)

I always buy the albums when I can; i just usually can't. I'm slowly working on it, but there's ppls in line before him. I did just spend the $ on the ep, though, so yay for being able to give him $ that way. Wish i didn't live on a quarter of a shoestring budget. :|

Would it be alright if I snagged some of the lovely Kane goodness?
I'm just so utterly and stupidly (lol) in love with him right now! I must have all he has done!!! :)
Thanks in advance!

Tom was asked (...somewhere, I don't even remember where) whether they're trying to get signed, and he said that they really don't want to jump on anything that isn't totally perfect for them. So I guess the right opportunity just hasn't come around. And I think that's smart! They want to make sure they do what's right for the band, and in the meantime they're making amazing music and connecting with fans. I heartily approve. :)

I'm not a huge country fan so I was so pleased to not only like but really enjoy his album.
Love "Whiskey in Mind" so much. "House Rules" is awesome but my fave is "Let Me Go".
I get to see him live in Portland on the eve of my 29th Birthday March 21st!
CAN'T FLIPPIN WAIT!!!!!

The House Rules is my faaavorite. I still dance like a loser and go around shouting all the words whenever it comes on. Um. Inside my house, obviously. My dad laughs at me sometimes. *facepalm*
