That’s right friends, we just finished our first video and are excited to debut it to you here! without further ado, we introduce “Lunatics and Liars”

iTunes is happening …..NOW! and a video is coming soon!

Hey Friends! The long wait is over! As of this week we are now available on iTunes and a whole slew of other digital retailers and e-tailers. What’s that mean to you? It means that you can pretty much get our album anywhere, anytime. If you’re in Egypt, you can get it. If you’re in Nebraska, you can get it. Here’s the link to see it in iTunes. We’re also having a contest on Facebook where we are giving away a CD package with stickers and buttons to the first 10 peeps who buy it and review it on iTunes. Check out our Facebook page for more details.

We also spent a day filming a video for our song “Lunatics and Liars” last week. We did it full on DIY style. We found a warehouse in the city, slapped up some canvas and lighting and our buddy Bill at Blazing B Studios did all the filming. We had a blast sweating it out under the lights, rocking out and drinking a bunch of beer. We are currently editing the video and it will be available soon, so keep checking back to see it. We’re going to do a little series of perspectives on filming the video as well, giving you guys a little glimpse into what it’s like to film one. So till then, thanks for the support and see you at the shows!!

Fried Amps and Drunken Good Times!

Mark Aceves — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 03:20:41 +0000

Thanks everyone who came out on Saturday night to the Cupertino Brit. We had a good time and still rocked the joint even though my bass amp fried on the first song. I play Ampeg, the best amps in the world, but I drive ‘em hard so occasionally one pusses out on me. Oh well, i plugged into the PA and we still killed. It was great seeing all of our friends and thanks for the drinks everyone!

Till next time, rock on!

Tonight we bring the rock

Mark Aceves — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 01:33:54 +0000

hey Mark here, just a quick note to remind you guys that tonight we play the Brit in Cupertino. We go on at 11 and we will rock the house. Hope to see you there. If you come make sure you step up and say hi and share a drink with us. Till then, hasta!

Album title and artwork finalized!

Final art and album title

Hey Friends, in between bottles of gin and pudding pops we have managed to finalize the artwork for the album and have selected a name for it as well. First off, the art work comes courtesy of yours truly (Mark the bass player), who had a general direction in mind for the cover. We had discussed making it look a little sexy yet dangerous. With that in mind I took to finding the right image and building the rest around that. I settled on this image because it’s suggestive yet mysterious. The guys all liked it too (of course!) so we went with it. Now as for the name, we asked our friends and fans alike to contribute to naming the album, and one of the suggestions stuck out at us. “The Invitation”. What’s it mean and how does it relate to the music? Well that’s for you to figure out when it hits the street. I’ll just say pay attention to every detail. So when is the album going to be available? The plan is to have it available at shows and digitally (iTunes, Amazon MP3) within the next month or so, so you wont have to wait long. Keep coming back to the site for updates and show info, in addition to album availability. As always you rock, thanks for all the support!!

Mark – Zed

The future begins here, and now.

Whats up Zed Heds,

Mark, the producer of low frequencies, here. First I wanna say thanks for coming out last thursday to your premier show. It was a great first show and we had a blast tryin’ out our tunes for you. From your response I’d say you enjoyed it too. We’re going to spend the next couple of months refining the set, writing new songs, and playing a show here and there where we can, then we’ll be selecting a studio to record our album.

The desire is to find a place where we can get a gigantic sound that is both vintage yet modern. We think this record is going to rock your pants off so stay tuned and keep coming to shows, the facebook page and myspace for samples and vids!

if you have video of our shows feel free to share them too!

Till next time, keep bringing the ROCK!

Mark
