Evidence that we play live.

It is crazy in this day in age. It seems like most bands have people perform their performance all the time. Why is it then that AristeiA doesn't have but a hand full of Footage of us playing? I don't know. It is our guess that there is more footage of out there somewhere but that its owner is being very selfish.

One very unselfish person however, is Portland resident and local music lover/comedian Notorious Kelly. He is one of the people who has taken some footage and shared. He is at a ton of shows, and he documents them. He even writes little reviews of them in his Myspace blog thing. You can read about our Kelly's Olympian show that happened on March 6th with We're From Japan!, and Krist Krueger right here (scroll down a bit). I had a lot of fun at this show and glad that there were people to see it. It think about $600 was raised for Oregon Food Bank. Not bad for a Thursday night.

P.S. Texas, we are coming for you. SXSW!

Evy Metal asks the Questions.

Hey there AristeiA fan,

Have you ever wanted to know, just a little bit more about the boys of AristeiA? Have you spent late nights just racking your brains as to what might inspire the members that comprise AristeiA. Well no more! A couple weeks ago We sat down and had us a audio interview. It is part to the Evy Metal podcasts. You can listen to it here. Evy, the host of said program has interview many Portland bands since she started including our friends Westfold (you may recall that we have a split 7" with them). Cool stuff. I also want to thank Goldie over at Crappy Indie Music: The Blog! for beating us to the punch as far as posting about the interview.

It went kinda like this.

drum staxxxxxxxs

today i played drums with Westfold. then their real drummer, Dustin, came, then we did dual drums. then i accidentally punched myself in the balls. somehow i feel like it was worth it. i love that band.
ps. we are playing with Westfold and Nanda Devi on Friday, June 27th @ Kelly's Olympian. it is a guaranteed positive experience. that is to say, great times are to be had.
