The dear folks at the Boston Phoenix made Tidal Waves their mp3 of the Week, a lovely and enlightened gesture. You, dear friend, may collect your copy of this music recording here for a limited time.

What’s with the minty green color for the site?

Because the band doesn’t have a graphic artist. And the HTML color code spells “BADBAD”, as good a reason as any if you’re visually challenged.

What’s up with Bon Savants?

Thanks for asking. Thom’s still living out west for grad school. The rest of the band is in Boston, filling the void of his absence with other music projects, professional pursuits, lots of biking, and such. It’s a small, shallow void, easy to plug. Bon Savants continue to be the hydroelectric musical powerhouse that you know, they just haven’t played live for a spell. They’ll fix that soon.

When can I hear new recordings?

Today. The first of a series of videos for the recently completed album is about to be posted, along with a temporary free mp3 download and some other material, like alternate and demo versions.

Why do you update online so infrequently?

Most of the band is over 30.

Kevin sent me a link to this video a few months ago with the note: “Make sure volume is turned up.”

My face morphed from confusion to surprise to more confusion (mostly in the eyebrows). We’ve chatted with the folks who made it since then, who report that “The band has a strong and tiny but intensely loving fan following in bombay, india ”

Outstanding.

This is pretty amazing. I don’t watch the show but the vid is nicely edited.

I like this sort of thing, send us links if you see them.

Form Follows Function

Form follows function. Especially when you stink at form. Visually, specifically. This site will probably look a little ugly for a while until we get the new artwork in place, but content is going up pretty quickly.

Check out the new vids page with footage from our WFNX session at New Alliance Studios in Cambridge, MA earlier this summer.

The RockBand page gives some more info on our project to turn Bon Savants songs into playable RockBand games and introduces our RockBand blog.

Songs posted to the Listen Up page, with a new one, “The Song Destroyer”, mixed by John Collins and David Carswell of Vancouver’s JC/DC studio.

That’s an afternoon’s work, on to mixing sounds into songs.

New Website

admin — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 06:51:57 +0000

Our last site was quite nice when it went live in 2006, but that simple time of Friendster and Republican presidents is long gone, and we needed something new that even a musician can update on occasion. Here it is, all rough around the edges, content forthcoming.
