HALLOWEEN, ALASKA + THE GREAT DEPRESSION LIVE!

                  


The Great Depression performed two shows in Minneapolis last month to celebrate the release of Unconscious Pilot.  David de Young from www.howwastheshow.com attended both shows and was kind enough to share his thoughts.  You can check it out here.

International accolades continue to come in for Unconscious Pilot.  The review above just came in from HMV in Japan.  We've been told it's gushing.  You can check out the whole page here.




HALLOWEEN, ALASKA on TELEVISION

 


 

 

 

 

Hopefully you were able to catch HALLOWEEN, ALASKA's song "Des Moines" on Fox Television's "The OC" recently.  If you missed it, be sure to keep your eyes open for a re-broadcast.  Keep your ears alert when Ryan comes home to find Eddie looking for Theresa and (2) Ryan talks to Eddie about Theresa, and Marissa listens to Theresa discuss her relationshp with Eddie.  Got it?

THE GREAT DEPRESSION 
#124 on the CMJ TOP 200!
#15 with 52 Adds 

The Great Depression is a five person collective, the members of which shuffle back and forth between Minneapolis, MN and Madison, WI.  Todd Casper has a penchant for waltzes and you can often find the group hovering around the hypnotic and elegant 3/4 time signature.  They have lulled ardent punk rockers at Seattle's Rock Candy.  They have intrigued East Village hipsters at the Mercury Lounge in New York City.  They have warmed up freezing teens at Minneapolis' 7th Street Entry and they have mesmerized stoned college students at The Orpheum Theatre in Madison. 

R.I.Y.L.: My Bloody Valentine, Red House Painters, Slowdive, Sigur Ros, Belle & Sebastian, Trembling Blue Stars
