Welsh Rich Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Good luck with this today - I'm jealous - post the article once you've finished, would be good to read! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dontknownuthin Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Tell them Band of Horses really really wants to do a project with them. Then get Band of Horses on the phone and tell them the same thing. Name some studio and have both bands agree to meet the other one there. When both bands show up and confusion ensues, act all innocent and suggest that maybe it was "the muses" making some crank calls and oh dip, you just remembered you have some Coronas on ice in the back room and why doesn't everybody just chill for awhile and maybe jam a bit? Then press record in the engineer booth and relax with a frosty Corona. Easy peasy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
street spirit Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 ask them why they always "tentatively" schedule vancouver into their tour plans and then break my heart by not playing here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deaf Ro Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 I know they have many many dates scheduled for spring/summer after the new record comes out in February. They also may or may not be opening a bunch of dates for Modest Mouse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 yeah, as small of a band as EITS are (they sell like 10-15k records or less each time out), i'd really hate to have to see them at a theater, not to mention for $25-30+. i've only seen them twice, once in '01 opening for Trail of Dead at the 7th Street Entry (capacity of like 200), which was my first exposure to them, totally blew my mind. and then again in '03 at The Cave in Northfield, in front of like 100-ish college kids, maybe 10-15 of which actually knew who the band was (Adem opened as well), but by the end of the show they had the entire crowd mesmorized Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually they have sold about 100k records in the U.S. alone. This does not include the Friday Night Lights OST. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 i'm talking each individual record, not togetherlast time i checked their highest selling record was Earth at like 18k? maybe it's a bit higher than that now. be curious how many copies the FNL soundtrack has sold, but i'm thinking less than 20k (you can still buy the vinyl which is limited to 1000) point is, they're still an insanely tiny band in the grand scheme (consider that the last Modest Mouse record has sold almost 2 million in the US now), and not even remotely on the level of similiar bands (Mogwai, Sigur Ros, etc.). their interest has grown a lot over the last 2-3 years though, i remember when i first saw them i couldn't find ANY information online about them (they didn't even have a website themselves) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
