On The Road With A CHILDE

Join the MAGNIFICENT FESTIVAL my friends!

2009-11-29T21:23:00.000-08:00

Well. What else can we say? It is soooo very very close...Yes it is. We have been locked in the hero laboratory in sunny BKLYN putting the finishing touches on our final mixes for the upcoming record.

This is the MAGNIFICENT FESTIVAL. Featuring six new epic songs that will light your record player on fire. Oh yes.

CHILDE will be presenting this brand spanking, ass-slapping, finger-snapping, mind-blowing new EP, self-released digitally and soon on CD and a special vinyl press. Stay tuned for details.

In the meantime, this Thursday Dec. 3rd, CHILDE takes the stage with Brooklyn brothers and sisters HAWK & DOVE, along with THE BEASTS OF EDEN and JMMD, to celebrate the completion of the new EP and to share the new music and celebration with all of you friendly kittens.

CHILDE's the one and only "Magnificent Festival" EP release party at Public Assembly in Williamsburgh (Brooklyn, NY). Free downloads, free stuff, funk DJ, dancing, CHILDE and friends and a million other reasons to get hip with the real world! 9pm-2am

Review from CityBeat Cincinnati

2009-09-25T11:49:00.001-07:00

"If Prog is the new Grunge, this Brooklyn trio could be the new Soundgarden. With an eclectic approach to song writing, the band's songs rarely approach the expected, with more twists and turns than Lost. Don't let the Prog tag scare you away - despite avowed influences like Mahavishnu Orchestra and Sigur Ros, CHILDE's music isn't overly serious or pretentious (in fact, it's often playful and hooky)." 9/24/09

Yeah says Doran!

Union Hall Last Sunday

2009-07-30T12:26:00.000-07:00

The show over at Union Hall was great last Sunday with excellent sets by Dawes and The Seedy Seeds. We shook off the cobwebs and played a bunch of new stuff off the upcoming album including a crazy "Run From The Junkie" complete with trumpet and backup vocals from Rachel and Ben from Hawk & Dove. We are taking a little breather for August as we finish up the album and gear up for a busy September. Thanks everyone for coming out!

Back from New Hampshire, Show in Brooklyn this Sunday

2009-07-24T10:43:00.000-07:00

After a week in New Hampshire finishing the tracking for the new CHILDE album, we are back in Brooklyn, refreshed and ready to rock. We have some surprises and special guests in store for the show this Sunday at Union Hall in Park Slope. Come down to hear some of the new tracks and some old favorites in whats looking like an epic evening of rock. CHILDE hits at 8pm followed by Dawes (from LA) and The Seedy Seeds (from Cincinnati).

Here is one last shot of John working on some tracks in NH overlooking the lake. See you Sunday!!

2009-07-20T12:05:00.000-07:00

Last night was another marathon of magic and music. Doran engineered as HAWK & DOVE (www.hawkanddovenyc.com) recorded five amazing gems, all live, in the living room. Elijah killed it with his vocals and everyone played magnificently. It's like one happy, incestual, music family.

At 2:30 AM we then commenced to get all the Dovers to sing some mass background vocals for the CHILDE record. We had Steph and Rachel, Ben, John, Dave, and Doran all screaming into one mic, trying to slay the dragon of rock. CHILDE 1 DRAGON 0 ------->>> see you all Sunday night at Union Hall 8pm... :)

CHILDE.

Bonjour from New Hampshire!

2009-07-20T11:57:00.000-07:00

The saga of the new CHILDE record continues on the beautiful banks of Webster Lake in New Hampshire. We arrived at Brier Rose Cottage (home of the great Michael family!) to warm greetings from our friends HAWK & DOVE who had with them an arsenal of fireworks which showered down upon is in a glory of midnight celebration. Yesterday was filled with lake-swimming, canoe-tipping, and wooded walks in the forest. It is truly beautiful up here.

Union Hall in Brooklyn on 7/26

2009-07-15T06:08:00.000-07:00

We have been locked up in the hero laboratory for so long working on the new CHILDE album that we had to come outside and play a show. This should be interesting...and face melting...so grow out those mustaches and come on down!

This is really going to be a fun night at one of our favorite venues and definitely an evening to stick around and see some great music. We will be kicking things off at 8pm opening for 2 amazing indie bands - Dawes from LA and The Seedy Seeds from Cincinnati. We are looking forward to this one, see you there!

Ding. We just finished up a few days of recording over at Seaside Lounge in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Headbands, no shirts, mustaches, food comas and epic video game soundtracks. We finished a lot of the tracks for the upcoming album and are going to be doing some fine tuning over the next two weeks in Brooklyn and up in a remote cabin in New Hampshire.
