WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

Ash Street Saloon 12.11.09. Last show of the year!!!!!!



There were some videos too but not surprisingly the audio was totally clipped and you can't hear a thing...oh well. Hopefully we'll get some up here soon.

Keep checking in, we are sure to have some sneak peaks at the upcoming album on the site!

Thanks again to everyone who came out last night, and Westfold for having us, we had a great time.

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.

The Locals give us some Love

So we are playing a show tomorrow night in our hometown of Portland, OR. It would seem that we are starting to get some love from the the local Press.

The show, which will features friends and both amazing bands Westfold and Carcrashlander, is going to be at Rotture and as I mention got some press. I could just cut and paste from The Oregonian or The Mercury, but this is a blog. I link these things.

If you are too lazy to click on the link, let me summarizing and combinig what they had to say about us: AristeiA "makes beautifully textured music that turns on atmosphere and mood"*, "they open a window onto a broad vista of instrumental flight through mountains and valleys."**

Nice.

Carcrashlander Live in Concert. Just a taste.

Split Seven Inch with Westfold

Check it out!

We got ourselves a nice trailer for tour

CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!!!! on friday ben, jesse and myself drove out to bend to pick up this sweet trailer.

while we bought the trailer, adam was busy finishing up gathering information for the 7" we've been working on with Westfold to send it out for printing.

yes, yes, my friends we have been busy. we are almost ready for tour and couldn't be more thrilled for the trip!

we are making a 7"

So, I thought it might interest the people to know that a split 7" will be released in the not so distant future. It will be between Westfold and yours truly. The pictures are the center label now just imagine splattered colored vinyl around those labels. Sweet, right? You can hear Westfold's song on their myspace page right here (I know that I linked to them earlier in the post, but seriously you should check Westfold out).

ps. did you notice that the songs are the exact same length? weird huh?

bad news about friday's show

Nanda Devi had to cancel but that doesn't mean we won't be playing shows with them in the future. We are still planning on playing August 15th with them somewhere in town but it's just not confirmed yet.

Sometimes Ben thinks it's funny to alter fliers when there is a lineup change and this is the outcome. Don't be offended Nanda Devi, we still love you.



so yeah, that's the new band playing, The Hand that Bleeds. I've heard good things about them and look forward to seeing them and all of you on Friday night at Kelly's Olympian. Don't forget, this Friday night will not be enjoyable for you unless you attend this show. Also, don't for get Los Moustachios are doing a video show during our set!

New Record Almost Complete!!!!!!!

almost done with the record! we mixed yesterday.
get a preview on June 27th @ Kelly's Olympian with Westfold and Nanda Devi

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.
