Atomic Brother Update March 11, 2008
Wastin' Time With Atomic Brother
After a really long break, our video podcast, Wastin' Time With Atomic Brother is back! The first episode of season 2 is now online.
In this first episode of Season 2 of Wastin' Time with Atomic Brother, we take you behind the scenes recording See Me Comin' in Lausanne, Switzerland and introduce you to drummer Pat Aeby and take a look inside the big box and take a tour of the small box.
Download the new episode of the podcast on iTunes or http://atomicbrother.com/wastin. You can also watch it on YouTube, Blip.tv and Revver.
Anyway, how does Atomic Brother waste time? In the videos we are always playing, rehearsing, writing songs and whatever else a rock band does. We'll get into some of that in future episodes. The show is called "Wastin' Time with Atomic Brother" not "Going to work with Atomic Brother." So, how do we waste time?
James is an avid surfer, and has been for a many years. He's nuts. And he's real good. He'll surf in any weather. Check him out surfing in the snow with his brand new Atomic Brother surf board!
Who's That Playing Drums?
Some of you have been wondering what's up with our drummer Mike. Where has he been, and who is this guy Rob that's playing drums now? We'll, besides being a drummer, a director and editor, Mike is also the frontman for the band Isol8ed. He took a year off to play with us and now he's gone back to finishing his album. You may recall that we appeared in a video for his band Isol8ed in 2006. Mike is a good friend and will always be a part of the Atomic Brother family, and we can't wait to hear his album.
The new guy, Rob Kelly, is actually the old guy. Rob is also part of the Atomic Brother family, he played drums for Atomic Brother on many of the original demo sessions for See Me Comin', and he's joining us for a few shows this year.
We have been fortunate to be friends with, and play with, many great drummers over the years, and will continue to do so in the future. So, don't be surprised if you see Mike, Rob, Greg or even Pat taking turns behind the kit.
New Jersey Bound
Hey New Jersey! We'll be making our way out to Clifton, New Jersey in April to play with our old friends King Hell, at Dingbatz, the Rock Capital of Clifton. More details later, but make sure you mark April 18th on your calendar.
Odds and Ends
Besides MySpace, we are members of a bunch of social networking sites. Check us out at Bebo, FaceBook, Music Nation, iLike, last.fm and SkyRock (for our French speaking fans). Friend us at any of those sites! Continued thanks to Gunter and Rose at rockstation.ch in Switzerland for still featuring "Everything and Less." We really hope to be back in Switzerland this year to see you guys! We haven't been to Zurich in a long time.
