Touring band needs show help for Aug 22nd or 23rd...[views:1193][posts:3]______________________________________ [Jun 12,2009 1:32pm - Seldon Plan ""] Hey everyone, I know this primarily a metal board-but can you help a lowly indie rock band? ;) My name is Mike I am booking tour dates for The Seldon Plan's new record Lost and Found and Lost (http://www.myspace.com/theseldonplan). We are from Baltimore and we play indie pop/rock. We are looking for opening slots on any shows that are indie rock on August 22nd or August 23rd. The guys from Armageddon Ship sent us your way. Can you help? Even by pointing me to an appropriate venue in Providence. Thanks! Mike Contact Info: Michael Nestor Phone: 410-744-6924 Website: http://www.theseldonplan.com We have had local and national press, this is our third record. Bio: The Seldon Plan reemerges with whimsy with their highly anticipated album LOST AND FOUND AND LOST, a worthy follow-up to their 2007 record THE COLLECTIVE NOW. Praised for its “catchy simple melodies awash with lush vocals, hip full guitars, and a hint of Flaming Lips” by artist/composer Mark Degli Antoni (David Byrne/Soul Coughing) and dubbed “smart pop with no wasted space” by record producer Brian McTernan (Senses Fail/Piebald/Thrice), LOST AND FOUND AND LOST plays with images of childhood nostalgia to embrace the economic and political pendulum. The Baltimore-based indie pop rockers are known for their “tuneful-wistful rock” (The Washington Post) and “literate, yet still youthful” (Allmusic) sound. Calling their latest LP “a burst of new flavor”, The Big Takeover’s Jack Rabid expressed delight at the “Baltimore foursome’s continued maturation” and compared it favorably to “melodic pop favorites such as Feelies’ offshoot Wild Carnation, Winnipeg’s wonderful Weakerthans, great Scots Camera Obscura, and Portland’s Dimes”. The Seldon Plan spent the last few years taking on a busy tour schedule—including shows with Explosions in the Sky, The Stills, Now It's Overhead, The Octopus Project, The Eames Era, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, and Matt Pond PA. The band’s sophomore effort THE COLLECTIVE NOW was quickly named a top 40 record of 2007 by The Big Takeover and one of the “Best Baltimore albums of 2007 by The Baltimore Sun. Tracks from the album were licensed by the massively popular YouTube series lonlygirl15 and by Simplify Media for its top-rated music-streaming iPhone app. Their debut album MAKING CIRCLES was featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered. The Seldon Plan is likened to established alt rockers Death Cab for Cutie, The Posies and Nada Surf. |
