Pre-order Bundles

Ok, everyone’s doing sweet pre-order bundles these days.  We wanna get in on the action and get you guys some awesome, limited edition stuff.  We haven’t really done a ton of cool stuff in the past, because doing rad items for pre-order bundles requires quite a bit of lead time.

So this time, I’m getting on the ball early.  I’m starting to collect ideas now.  The pre-order bundles are for you, so I want you to tell me what you want and we’ll try to make it happen.  Please suggest anything that would tickle your fancy, so to speak, and make you relish the joys of being a BTA listener.  If it’s too expensive, we can’t do it, so don’t be listing Corvettes or human flesh or anything that we obviously can’t do.

Actually, do list that stuff.  It might be fun to hear how off-the-wall you guys can get.  But put some serious ones in there too.  I wanna make the pre-order bundles something that you want, so you gotta tell me what you want!

Summer Touring!

Summer is the season for touring and your Archetype Boys are gearing up for an insane schedule of touring and recording. We’re set to record in Massachusetts with Shane Frisby, from May 21 – June 18. So that’ll be fun.

Then, we hit the road immediately, playing several shows on the way home (to Georgia) from recording. We’re only home a few days before we head out again, this time for 6 straight weeks.

The plan is to hit just about every state that we can, so if you keep your eyes on our events page on Facebook (and probably on the shows tab on this site), you’ll be able to find a BTA near you at some point this summer!

Below is a list of states that are extremely likely to be hit by BTA this summer:

Alabama
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maryland
Michigan
Minnesota
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Mexico
North Carolina
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Virginia
Washington
Wisconsin

That’s 33 states!  And depending on how booking goes, we may hit more states this summer!

Celestial Progression

So we’re releasing an album of remixes on April 17, titled Celestial Progression.  Get it?  Actually, it’s just an EP, since it has 6 tracks.

This whole thing came about as I realized I had a few friends who were particularly skilled at electronica and mixing-type stuff.  So I asked Solid State if we could do a remix album using songs from Celestial Completion and they said “Absolutely!”

So I sent the masters to my friends in Born of Water (great band, check em out) which is a duo from Nashville that makes great atmospheric and electronic music.  I also sent the masters to Sean Patrick Murphy, known as Giant Robot.  He lives in Chicago and has been a friend of mine for quite awhile now.  He played sitar on Celestial Completion and is lined up to produce the folk album that Brandon and I are doing this fall.

I told both groups to do what wanted and make the songs their own.  You see, I wanted the  remixes to take on a life of their own and be a song in their own right.  And that’s exactly what Tom and Jonathan (Born of Water) and Sean did.  Sean was a workhouse, knocking out 6 remixes of his own.  We used 5 of those because one was really crazy.  If you absolutely have to hear it, I bet he’d send it to you if he still has it.  Born of Water focused all their energy on one remix and did a great job as well.  Theirs is the clip that’s currently posted to our FB site and here on celestialcompletion.com.

The album will only be available digitally (iTunes and amazonmp3) around the world, but we might be able to work out a deal to have physical copies with us on the road.  If we do, you’ll be able to pick up the disc at our shows.

So listen to the clip, let me know what you think, and keep your eyes peeled for Celestial Progression on April 17!
