this is old but sad news

i'm sitting here listening to music i have created with my extremely close friends adam, ben, and devon (as well as some old tracks with not those guys) and i am sad to say that we have obviously parted ways musically. it's been some time, so i assume everyone already knew what was inevitable. but nonetheless, i still play music with adam in our project GUARDIANS and ben is playing in Y LA BAMBA (which is going extremely well for him) and devon is doing the DIESTO thing. so, everyone is happy and everyone is playing music, but i just wanted to let everyone know, officially, that ARISTEIA is no longer. Thanks for the support, it was an amazing journey

LOVE

Brandon.

We do a set and an Interview!

Like a wizard except for he has a different religion.

This skinny cat jumped in our van the other day when we were loading out to go to the show!
The show went pretty well. We played the Tonic Lounge and there were many friends. Thanks Westfold, I really liked the new song sweat body!

We were going to record next week (at toadhouse recording house of digital and analog waves recoder) but devon (our drummer) got hit by a car (motorized vehicle).









Never fear however!, We rescheduled to lay down some pipe (tape) in October.
We love you and will report in on a better schedule in the future.

Every time we have played Denver we have been booked at Old Curtis St and end up playing at The Bar Bar. We will not object. Bar Bar is an awesome place to play! Thanks Joe Ramirez! Denver was cold and covered in snow but our friends at the Bordelaux through together a last minute show for us. It was an open bar for the musicians so you can infer whatever you want from that. This is the coolest thing in Denver.
Also Brandon and Adam got some new hats. We go all out!

Rockin On The Lamar Bridge!

SXSW Day 3 AristeiA plays again

WE PLAYED WITH IPHOTO!
Adam's amp looks fat.
Here i go again on my own. oh wait, there were three others. oh wait, ben was at other shows. Today, I saw a wall of Orange Amps. Lovely. I had a splitting headache because of lack of caffeine so Adam, Jesse and I (Brandon) grabbed some ice cold coffee at Bouldin Creek. We drove around for about an hour looking for parking so we could meet up with Ben at Emo's Annex with no luck so we parked on the other side of river. We saw Matt from the Doug Fir at Emo's then we went to Lovejoy's and saw this kick ass band that is featured on Rock Band 2 and Sims 3. They are called "Bang Camaro." 2 guitars. 1 Bass. 1 Drummer. 6 lead singers! AT THE SAME TIME!

We then headed to " the Parlor" to play our show. There were lots of people and we had a super fun extravaganza. Ben's aunts and uncles were there, <--LEE and John were there. Other awesome people were there.

The party commenced. The Fever Dreams played and were super rad. Phranchyze threw me (brandon) an XL tshirt and i flossed that shit until day break. Or until midnight. Depends on what you consider day break. HOWE. there was a lot of beer.

Then we got lost and then got back to Nick's place. Nick is the Bomb.
