Thanks to everyone who made this past Saturday at Brillobox so great!

If you missed it, here’s the highlight reel:

• The Bloodsugars went on first and filled the room with their infectious indie-disco-funk-rock. They had everyone moving by the end of their set! There were also two broken guitar strings and they never missed a beat.
• The Delicious Pastries invited a DJ friend to spin between sets. He did a great job of matching the inter-set music with the upcoming bands!
• We played 2nd. The floor was packed with people for the set. It was really great to have people singing along with all the words. It’s a bit strange to get used to.
• The Delicious Pastries closed out the night with the unveiling of their new lineup. Watching Jesse on the drums lived up to everything that one could hope for!

Also, The Bloodsugars released their new album entitled, “I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On” a week or so ago and it’s great. Fans of Michael Jackson will love it! Get it at theboodsugars.com.

Hello, friends of Good Night, States!

Join us this Saturday evening at Brillobox in Pittsburgh for a great show with our friends The Bloodsugars and Delicious Pastries.  Someone with a diabetic sense of humor put both of those bands on the same bill!

But seriously, we think both of these bands are supertalented and we are thrilled to be playing with them.

You can pick up our signed, numbered In The Impossible Tension EP for $10 at the show (remember, we’re only selling them in person, not online).  Here’s what a French blog had to say about the new EP: yes, it’s in French.  Perhaps you prefer something in English?

Music lovers, we will see you soon.

Dear Brooklynites (specifically Mummies & Gold Lame sporting hipsters) -

Thanks for making our All Hallows Eve Eve at Spike Hill a great one, we had a blast!

That is all,
Good Night, States

Love and EPs, we are so very excited,

Good Night, States

Wow!

We’re very excited, humbled, and honored to have our iPhone/iPod Touch experiment featured on engadget.com and synthtopia.com!

Steve has weighed in on some of the feedback that the engadget/synthtopia coverage has garnered.

If this is your first time visiting the site, please visit the MUSIC page and check out some of our catalog (a lot of it is available at a pay-what-you-want pricing plan!).

Thanks for stopping by!

At the next Good Night, States show (and beyond), you (the show attendee) will have the opportunity to participate in the performance!

Steve has programmed a bank of sounds for the Noise.io iPhone/iPod Touch synth app. This bank of sounds, combined with the audio interface that will be at the front of the stage, will allow you to play along with the band.

Steve has posted instructional videos and written out instructions for how to use the app at the shows. You can view/download the instructions here. You can view the instructional videos here, here, and here.

If you have any questions, you can email steve [at] goodnightstates [dot] com.

We of Camp GN,S have been in good spirits lately. After being treated particularly well by the good people of Fredericksburg, VA, Good Night, States attended Millennium Music Conference 13 in Harrisburg, PA where we played two showcases and made some very encouraging music industry connections. MMC was like every conference you’ve ever been to: giant nametags on lanyards, drawstring bags full of useless swag, and cramped seating for discussion panels in thickly carpeted hotel conference rooms. Unique to this event, however, were the attendees, loosely clumping together in the halls by genre: colored mohawks, leather pants, and metal studded jackets or skinny jeans, faux bedhead hair and slouchy posture. Plus a handful of sweet faced, confused-looking singer-songwriter types attempting to navigate the conference alone. Long live the music industry!

We apologize to those of you who arrived at the posted time, 8 pm, for our February 6 Howler’s show. The show clearly did not start anywhere near 8 pm, and we’d like to send you something for your trouble. Please email press[at]goodnightstates[dottttt]com with the subject “I DEMAND better customer service from your disorganized rock band!” (or something to that effect) and we’ll take care of you!
