Behind the Scenes with Glasgow

Below is a little homemade video of us making a trailer to our indie-rock opera '1986'. We filmed it in a theater space inside the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts (NOCCA), a performing arts conservatory for high school students, of which 4 out of 5 of us are alums (George was in Nicaragua at the time). They were kind enough to let us use the space and put up some decor of our own. We appreciate the privilege immensely.

As the days wear on, we'll be revealing more, little by little, in a heartachingly slow and deliberate manner.

Because we're jerks.

Love,

Nineteen Eighty Sexy

Larger than life

So, Saturday we'll be filming a trailer for our rock opera and thought we'd run by Party City to pick up some supplies. Naturally, I was distracted by the ginormous gumball machine.

We'll also be releasing some tracks from the opera as our '1986 EP' just in time for the holidays. It's our little way of saying "Feliz Kwanzaa".

Hello, beautiful.

ArcenEAUX MY GOD

This is a teaser of Glasgow's drummer Jon Arceneaux "going postal" at the end of the as-yet unreleased Glasgow song of the same name. The video was captured from Alexis Marceaux's cellphone as Jon tracked the part in the Mid-City home of our recording engineer Rick Nelson. It's the same place we recorded the violin, cello, and vocals you hear in the snippet. Look for the full song, plus four more from our rock opera on the 1986 EP, coming next month.

Triple Trouble

Yup. 3 Ninjas. Went there.

Fri. 11/20 - Martin's Lounge in Jackson, MS w/ Furrows
Wed. 11/25 - Mule's Cate Street Pub in Hammond, LA w/ Alexis Marceaux Band
Sat. 11/28 - Artmosphere in Lafayette, LA w/ The Picardy Birds

One week(ish), two much fun for one night, three amazing opportunities to get your Glasgow on. So, don't four-get, or you might have to plead the Fifth. Insert more terrible number puns here. Egh, we might have to eighty-six this whole blog post.

Just to make sure it all adds up, we've decided that in order to multiply our chances of success, we needed to divide and conquer. We hope you all come out in record numbers. We're counting on you.

High-fives,
S

Voodoo hangover

Random Glasgloating:

Got some interesting coverage from a couple cool places 'round the country from our Voodoo appearance.

Examples:

A Dallas-Ft. Worth TV station was there and hung out with us backstage. Very nice guys.

Also, NewOrleans.com was there strutting their stuff, too.

There's more where that came from, but I'm pretty sure you are tired of looking at us rock and be awesome.

Love y'all.

Glasgow: New Orleans Party Animals

In case you missed this past Friday's Aladdin-themed Glasgow show at Republic, NewOrleansPartying.com was on site filming the whole affair, including an off-the-cuff interview with the whole band. We were perhaps a little besotted with beverage that night, for there was an open bar. Let's be honest; it's something one can't pass up in this economy. Witness the insanity.






An interview with just us (apologies for possible incoherence in advance):



Thank you everyone for making that night such a success. We'll see you at Voodoo!

Nothing Quiet on the Eastern Front

Susan Cowsill and Sam Craft at Voice of the Wetlands Fest earlier this month

On the heels of an INSANE Aladdin-themed show at Republic in New Orleans, the Craft Brothers have set off on an East-Coast tour with veteran songstress Susan Cowsill (of '60s family band The Cowsills). The Bros will return just in time for Glasgow's Voodoo Fest appearance, Friday 10/30 at noon.

To see how close this whole operation comes to your neck of the woods, visit Glasgow's MySpace or Susan's MySpace. Not coming by you? Move!

In other news, the band's got a lot in store, including Glasgow's original Indie-Rock Opera '1986', including a free EP and some videos for the opera coming out in November, and live performances of it around the country this coming Winter and Spring. VERY EXCITED.

See you soon!
