Action Painters in 2008 Best-of lists...

Some great music blogs are rating us in their best-of 2008 lists, and are even copping our lyrics to title their entries.

Sonic Parthenon
Action Painters
Two reviewed gigs this year - including a Bowery gig that completely trounced the Siren Festival going on earlier in the day - established Action Painters as THE band to watch in New York City. The single "Supermarket" only helped that cause. And they'll be your band to take you into 2009 should you choose to attend their New Year's Eve gig at the Lit.


32FtPerSecond.."words don't seem to stick in my mind..."
Action Painters are a band with whom I should have a better relationship. I like their music a lot but I grossly mismanaged an interview that I did with them for The Deli Magazine and now they must think I'm the least credible pseudo-journalist in New York City. Well. This isn't an apology. "SuperMarket" could be even higher than this but I was terrified about my own desire to make it up to them. This is an attempt at objectivity. And this song is objectively the bounciest (not a technical term) song of the year. It's like rubber and springs melted down into a snyth-rock masterwork. So blast off.

Amazing video. This is Fear on SNL in 1981.

Also, we're playing a huge show at Merc on 5.22 with Bear Hands, Saints & Lovers, and Jaguar Club. It'll be a great nigh so come out brotha.

Last Nite @ Mercury Lounge was the best nite.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our show last night.

It was incredible to see so many faces at Mercury Lounge.

Robbers were great. Plus are really cool dudes.

Our next show is in Brooklyn, next Friday, April 18th at the Glasslands Gallery Lolita Party. We're looking forward to this one as it's brooklyn, a cool different venue and a different crowd. Gotta love it.

Quick update 2-12-08

We are still writing and recording. All is well. We are eating lots of vegetables. We miss playing out tremendously.

We are working with wunderkind producer Peter Wade. He is the man. He's got great pop sensiblity but knows how to make it rock.

Expect a new Enhanced CD EP in Spring 2008, which will include new songs, live songs, and our first VIDEO.

Expect hot NYC/Northeast USA shows beginning in April.

We're playing a gig this weekend at a college upstate called RPI. We'll be debuting a couple new tunes, then back into our cave.

In the meantime, check out our new flash website at www.ActionPaintersBand.com. It's spiffy.

We are really stoked about 2008. It's gonna be amazing.
