Hi Everyone,
In the spirit of the year’s end, us here are the Signal Hill camp wanted to wish you all a fantastic holiday season and best wishes for a great 08! We put together a list of some of our favorites of 07 which ran on our friend Joe’s LA music blog, Radio Free Silverlake . Here is our list which ran! Also, he has compiled a free download which includes (in some instances exclusive/unreleased tracks) from 25 local LA bands. You can download that here 25 la band mp3-mix
Signal Hill’s track which was included is an updated version of a song called “The Dead Vineyard” This is a demo version only and was recorded in a live setting (so the production on the album will be much better, but at least this gives you a feel of what we’ve been up to!). You can download just our song by going here : The Dead Vineyard
Favorite Shows Attended of 07:
Tristeza @ The Echo
Feist @ The Wiltern
The Decemberists w/LA Philharmonic & Band of Horses @ Hollywood Bowl
Favorite Shows Played & Attended:
Radio Free Silver Lake’s Let’s Independent – This show was our first show after not playing awhile, and it happened to fall on Tim’s birthday. Brian got lucky finding a super close parking spot and the other bands (xiu xiu fang & in waves) both ruled! All in all an awesome night!
Our CD Release Party @ Pehrspace – Between having our friend Rajiv Patel from Phoenix open the show, playing at one of our favorite venues, and getting to celebrate the release of our first EP which was FINALLY out, it was a fantastic night!
