The Farewell Circuit

There’s really no information on this Minneapolis band, the Farewell Circuit. So here’s some random information that I’ve concluded: The Farewell Circuit originally was from Milwaukee, formed in 2003. They played a few gigs and pretty much wasn’t committed to the band – that is until last Summer ’06, they decided to get really serious about their band.

They’ve managed to record a self-titled debut EP (UPC 6 16892 88932 8, also available on iTunes). The record was produced by Daniel Holter and Kristian Riley (of Citizen King fame). I also read that Riley produce some other acts, such as The Promise Ring and Maritime.

Anyway, they’re getting ready to do a midwest to East (New York) tour. There is a problem, however. Shortly after they’ve released their EP, they lost their guitarist (and apparently their booking agent and manager) Zachius. They have a new guitarist, he’s debuting on this tour.

Looks like there are some open gaps on the tour, so they’re hoping someone can help them booked in those areas.

Also, here’s some news you should read: Mass deletion sparks LiveJournal revolt (30 May 2007) and Will music industry dance again to Apple’s tune? (31 May 2007). Obviously I don’t need to stress how important it is to sell DRM-free music and also LiveJournal is own by Six Apart (as well owning Vox and Moveable Type!).

Not that anyone cares, but I have also moved back to Windows XP as my default now. It’s funny how much faster XP is compared to Vista. But oh Vista was so pretty. Part of the reason for the move was because my iTunes just stopped working on Vista. I know there were previous problems with iTunes/Quicktime/Vista, but it’s finally caught up with me. Sound stuttering, missing Library, itunes movie causes blue-screen-of-death…
