For Your Hannukah Listening Pleasure...

We are snowed out of our minds here in Portland! I wanted to share with you a song we recorded on tour last September! It is about the Oklahoma City Bombing. Please Have a happy holiday! Also there is another new song from the same session that I might post if you like this one.

Love, AristeiA

Snow and Ice

We are very sorry to say that we are snowed in here in portland and Cannot make it to seattle tonight. :( We know we are dissapointing people and we are bummed. We will make up this show soon; later today I will post a new secret exclusive song to help make up for it.

our NIN cover

Hi! Here is a treat for everyone who likes covers! The original is from the Nine Inch Nails album 'the fragile''; it is titled 'the frail'.

And the reason I post this is because they are one of our favorites and they are playing portland tommorrow! We are also giving away sampler cds after the show.

enjoy!

AristeiA to open up for the Sea and Cake?!??

Yes, it's true. On Friday November 28th at Doug Fir we are going to open for a band that some of us have liked for a looooong time (The Sea and Cake, fools!). We are excited to play with then and perhaps even more excited to have AristeiA be one degree of seperation from Tortoise (depending on how you play that game). Sad Horse, another Portland band sharing the honor of opening for The Sea and Cake are also playing that night. Good times. The show is $15 and we go on first at 9 PM sharp.

playing up with the bombing

this is the best review i have read. it compares us to Mono and talk about our waves of guitars you know, "playing up with the bombing"...i'm speechless

"AristeiA album can be said to be very good, between the flu and played the melody was not saying that the first 2 "Feedback King" is full of Mono's Style, a strong sense of the destruction of the song, while violent and beautiful details are found everywhere In wave upon wave of guitar playing up with the bombing, a Fangruo the emergence of the end of the world."

Another review. aka Fensepost knows music

The reviews continue to pour in. Just this morning I found that Fensepost has a review of How To Kill A King. You can read it here. But if you cannot be bothered with reading the entire review, I have edited it down for you. "its genius."

Thanks Andy.

hawthorne is where the hippies live.

if you like me, which i know you do, you will be at this show tonight. we just got back from tour which means we now know how to play our songs which allow us to bring the rock to you just a little bit more.

also, in case you were wondering, there will be a fog machine tonight.

also, in case you were wondering. i will be there as well.
