Personally, I think the community would not be so interested in AI generated art during SXSW. While my personal opinion is that AI art is cool, many artists do not agree with that statement, and it sort of goes against the core ethos of SXSW. Which is all about the DIY culture, in terms of the music element.

I think you would have better luck collaborating with some local artists and allowing them to use your space to showcase their talents. That community spirit is what attracts so many people...

I think you would have better luck collaborating with some local artists and allowing them to use your space to showcase their talents. That community spirit is what attracts so many people to SXSW. Perhaps there is a local projection artist, who has musician friends that would be interested in this?

Either way, appreciate you seeking out the Extra Chill Community as a place to gather feedback for this project! We are a small but growing space for DIY music and artists.

Cheers!

What’s up, people. Just wanted to hop on here to let y’all know about a vinyl exclusive hip-hop album that I just released, titled Carolina Underground. This is a compilation album consisting of 28 MC’s and Producers all from North and South Carolina. I spent about the past 2 years working on this and I’m eternally grateful to everyone featured for making this happen. My role as a producer is to make the artist shine, and this was the best way I knew to showcase some of the stars...

They are currently being sold over at Monster Music in West Ashley, through EyelandVibes.com, or through me directly (reach out to my instagram, @ben.beam_ ) Thank you!

A venue in Austin has asked for feedback on types of Immersive shows to host during sxsw. They are not officially affiliated with sxsw, but want to do something cool during that week. The venue is a fully projection mapped theater with an awesome sound system. With that said, i wanted to ask the community what you think would be cool to see? If you have other suggestions, shoot them over!

Suggestions:

• Story event (i.e Al generated visuals of knows stories like Alice in Wonderland, or other stories)
• Immersive relax and chill (i.e visuals and music to make you relax and unwind)
• Abstract Art/Art (i.e Al generated abstract art/art together with Al generated music)
• Themed immersive shows (i.e the universe, nature, stars, etc…)

I am posting here to remind myself that I still need to update the header to match the main blog.

This has been done already on the footer.

I also have this idea to send automatic email notifications once weekly to all users, if they have unread notifications.

Soon, I will also create an app that allows people to post on here.

Also need to update the posting guidelines to be more clear…

Running a forum is actually a ton of work. But it’s pretty cool and rewarding too.

I am also a huge Brand New fan. I was at one of their last shows, in Charleston on 10/25/17. It was a major bummer to hear about these allegations, especially considering I have the astronaut from Deja Entendu tatted on my back. The band has gotten me through some of the hardest times in my life.

That being said, I do believe there is a lot more to come from Brand New this year. The way they are going about this secretive reunion is totally on brand for them, and I’m expecting to be surprised...

That being said, I do believe there is a lot more to come from Brand New this year. The way they are going about this secretive reunion is totally on brand for them, and I’m expecting to be surprised with new music.

Couple other things I heard about this solo show:

1. The rest of the band was at the Jesse solo show.
2. People were specifically asked not to record any of the new songs.

Here are some videos from that night:

Degausser 

Play Crack the Sky

Jesus Christ

As a bonus, which has nothing to do with this reunion rumor. Their set at ACL in 2015 is an absolute classic.

Excited to hear more about this in the coming months.

You may have noticed that my username is a play on the lyrics from Brand New’s “Okay I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Don’t”.

Brand New were one of the first bands in the pop-punk genre to be canceled, back in 2017. They are also the best band in the genre, musically, in my opinion and the opinion of many others. They had/have a huge cult following that hung on every word, and their concerts were transcendent.

Here is the NPR story about Jesse Lacey’s allegations from 2017: https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2017/11/13/563807010/brand-new-frontman-j...

Long story short, Jesse Lacey, the frontman, was accused of sexual misconduct involving a couple of younger fans. This news came out during what was advertised as their final tour. They canceled the remaining tour dates, including the UK leg of the tour, and essentially went into hiding.

Most assumed that was the last we would ever hear about Brand New.

However, recently, there have been rumblings from the Brand New camp, including a private show in Nashville that was confirmed to have happened on December 17th at the Eastside Bowl.

Setlist from 12/17 Brand New in Nashville:

Unknown new song
Unknown new song
‘Bands With Managers’ (Pedro the Lion cover)
‘At the Bottom’
‘Waste’
‘Batter Up’
‘Mattresses Underwater’ (Colour Revolt cover)
‘Jesus Christ’

And then, last night, January 31st, Brand New frontman Jesse Lacey played a private show at the Silvertop in Los Angeles.

The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot
Two-Headed Boy (Neutral Milk Hotel cover)
When I Say That I Love You
Degausser
Cut The Line (Live premiere)
Death
Waste
Jesus Christ
Play Crack the Sky
Two-Headed Boy, Pt. Two (Neutral Milk Hotel cover)

Needless to say, this news has many Brand New fans completely fired up. The band’s cryptic history, known for dripping the slightest amount of info to fans, seems to have gotten the tinfoil hat machine back in motion.

It has been 7 years since the last Brand New show, and now the rumors of a new album and/or tour are in full swing. This is exciting news for many. Some remain skeptical, and others likely do not want to see a Brand New reunion.

Any other Brand New fans around here? Do you think we will see a new Brand New album in 2025?

Personally, I’m expecting a small tour in the fall. Probably an album, too.
