1. Leo, our mascot would like to tell you that we’ve released another single this last week. If you’ve got a minute check it out at copperfoxmusic.com (at Westwood)

     


  2. Some changes…

    So Rory and I have “settled” into our new home of Nashville, Tennessee and are doing just fine. We’re excited to spread our wings in a new city and see what life has in store for us here. 

    Location isn’t the only change for us. We’ve decided to add some more members to our little duo and further more, establish ourselves as a band. A band in the music sense as well as the community sense is what we are after, I suppose. A team of people that want to be with us as much as we want to be with them sounds rather nice right about now. 

    In the process of meeting and auditioning new musicians, we’ve met some really great and talented people in this fair city. All of whom have been the kindest of people and we’ve really felt honored and privileged that any of them have wanted to be a part of this little facet of the world we’ve been cultivating over the past two years. 

    We’ve narrowed it down and we’re pretty excited about announcing the line-up here shortly as soon as we make some final decisions. After being just the two of us for so long now we aren’t in any rush to be too hasty. After all, choosing band mates is like choosing your best friends without really having spent much time with them. These are supposed to be our comrades in music, so we want to be sure. You know, only fools rush in.

    We’ve got some other news on the horizon, but I’ll save that for later. 

    Thanks for listening,

    Lisa

     

  3. Before we left on our trip, we saw our friend Matt’s band Purse Candy play at Rontoms in Portland. We had a pretty good time that night mingling with other music lovers around Portland at different venues around the city. Purse Candy was our last show of the evening and it was a perfect end to a perfect night of music. Also, its pretty rad to see your friends get the crowd moving like Matt and his band mates did. THAT never hurts. 

    We documented the evening in pictures and videos and I somehow forgot about them. Here’s a few of Purse Candy doing what they do best. 

    Thanks for listening,

    Lisa

    While on our 3 month road trip across the United States, we spent some time in New Mexico. One of our favorite places was Bandelier, which we’ve attempted to capture in this video.

    Special thanks to our wonderful tour guide Ry Mohon.

  5. Nativity 3.0 Help! from Xhurch on Vimeo.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT!

    We’re still accepting donations, directly via Paypal:

    Nativity 3.0
    Rounding out a three-year effort by Xhurch to explore, scramble, dilute, and REDEFINE the staid tradition of the Christmas nativity scene, this year’s installment promises to shepherd visitors into an uncanny digital beyond…

    Planned in conjunction with Seattle’s reputed Hair and Space Museum, Nativity 3.0 promises to “top out” in both conceptual scope and visual splendor. In 2010, Xhurch staged a quaint and traditional Christmas Nativity which drew friends and a few neighbors. Last year, Alien Nativity attracted hundreds of visitors and garnered international media attention with its kitsch extra-terrestrial motif. This year’s installation will abstract even further away from the original, presenting a visual feast while riffing on topics like Infinity, The Coming Technological Singularity, Immortality (through technology), modern Spiritualism and THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!

    Xhurch Nativity History
    Following the transformation of a former NE Portland church in 2010 into the arts venue known as Xhurch, a first nativity was staged that December—a “traditional,” LIVE nativity, featuring human stand-ins, papier mache animals, hot cocoa, classic Christmas music, and a porcelain Jesus…

    In 2011, Alien Nativity traded out 3 wise men for 4 alien magi, a shaman Santa Claus, and a mysterious mirror manger. The exhibit was a great success, with international press coverage, hundreds of visitors, and some surprisingly touching responses.

    Now, in a continued effort to provide an exciting experience for visitors while challenging holiday convention (and our own ingenuity), Nativity 3.0 is set to dazzle audiences again in 2012.

    Your contribution
    Whereas last year’s Alien Nativity was funded in part by generous donations, and on a shoestring budget, this year’s will require a greater investment in technology and hi-tech mediums, some of which are proprietary and therefore costly. Additionally, the construction demands of Nativity 3.0 will require more raw materials and more time spent building. Lights will again be a key feature and are costly as well. In order to make this year’s installation possible, we will absolutely need the help of generous and passionate contributors. This project is part of a trajectory that is three years in the making, and one predicated on the hard work and dedication of a growing pool of talented artists and individuals working for the love of their craft in order to provide a community experience that runs for a week and remains FREE-OF-CHARGE. Please help support the Xhurch in its most ambitious effort to date and join in the fun (and surprise) of another amazing nativity creation.

  8. While in Los Angeles, we had the fortunate pleasure of spending Halloween with dear friends, new and old. We all dressed up and hit the town where our friends took us to a number of their favorite spots so we could get a taste of how LA celebrates this age-old holiday. What ensued was a fun night with numerous ghosts, ghouls and zombies walking the streets.

    Special thanks to David Kruk for being such a great host and tour guide.
