Lots and Lots of Updates

Oops, it's been a while since we've updated this! So much has happened since our record came out and we've been busy busy busy.

First off, we have two amazing shows coming up with our pals Silversun Pickups at The Fillmore (SF) and The Wiltern (LA)... both SOLD OUT!

We recently shot a music video for Nick Zinner's (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) remix of our song 'Souvenirs'. We don't want to give away too much, but it is RAD. Let's just say there's a "bicycle boogie" involved and leave it at that.

Here's a big first for us... we have not one but TWO songs in the action flick Shoot 'Em Up!

Other Midnight Movies sightings: Peter, Bjorn, and John asked our lovely Gena to sing the part in 'Young Folks' in LA and SD last month (YouTube clip). Last week, Sandra played drums with The Raveonettes at Detour Fest.

Much more coming soon... xo

Halloween with Ladytron!

We are very excited to play with Ladytron at the El Rey on Halloween! The show starts around 8pm. Come on out!

Genocide

We will be playing a benefit show at the Avalon on Sunday, September 17th at 8 p.m. for an organization called Twenty Women For Darfur. The event is $30. A lot for a show, but the money will go very far and do a lot of good for people that need the help badly.

"This is an international crisis, the first time the US has officially declared a genocide to be taking place, and there aren't enough resources to support the need for aid right now. Hundreds of thousands have been slaughtered and many more wounded and tortured over the past few years; for every 35 people in need, there are only 20 hospital beds. The proceeds from the concert go toward the International Rescue Committee and can help A LOT -- more than you might think."

Visit http://www.twentywomenfordarfur.org to learn more.

Genocide - the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.

Come out and help us celebrate the hope for peace!

Jason's New Band

Former member Jason Hammons has started a new project called Dead Ponies and they're gearing up for their first show!! Sept, 26th 8pm at Safari Sam's. You can check out their website or Myspace page for more details on what they're up to.

See you at the show!

Come on out!

We are very excited to announce that we'll be joining Serena Maneesh on the west coast leg of their US tour in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Pomona. See our shows page for details.

We're also going to do the Fuck Yeah Fest this year. You should definitely come to that. We are playing Sunday, August 20th with Dead Meadow, The Ponys, Erase Eratta, Gris Gris and many others. You should come every day, especially the 20th!

Check it out!

We will be posting a new video blog from the recording sessions of our upcoming record each month. Watch the first of the series here.

Thank you to those who came to the Echo and Spaceland shows. We will be playing at the Orange County Museum of Art on August 17th. It's all-ages, outdoors, and super cool. Hope to see you there!

First New Shows

Seven Centimeters

We've been away from you people for way too long. Itching to emerge from our cave, we anticipate the upcoming months. Shows are finally just around the corner. We've missed you all so much.

This past year has been full of changes... some hard but necessary, some unexpected, but all worth it. Some of you may already be aware of our line up change and our two new band-mates. You may also know Jason is no longer in the band. He is now starting a new project, stay tuned for info on that. We signed with a new label and wrote and recorded our new record. So we're now in the third trimester of our second child and we're very excited to get this baby out!

Check out our new Myspace page and check in soon for show details.

Home

So we returned back home a couple weeks ago and since then we've been getting back into the swing of things with practice and whatnot. We are currently picking which songs off the first record to add into the set. Send us a message on our Myspace page to let us know which old songs you want to hear at our next first show.

Recording at Robert Lang Studios

We're here! We'll be recording and mixing through the end of March. After a couple weeks here, we'll continue at Steve Fisk's Philosophy of the World Studio (named after an album by the Shaggs). We've started a blog that will be updated as often as we can with lots of photos and video clips.

11 Days and Counting

We will begin recording our second album on February 20th, 2006. We're very excited to have Steve Fisk record us at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle. We'll keep you updated from up there with daily news and perhaps some video too. Ciao for now.

Launch...

Welcome to our brand new website. Enjoy, explore and stay tuned for further updates on the new record and upcoming shows in the new year. *Happy Holidays*

Music Friends

We're at Music Friends recording studio today and yesterday recording a track with Mr. Jason Cupp for a possible UK 7 inch. Work work work and the occasional cherished catch-phrase break. (Try saying that ten times.)

So it's official. NewLine Records will be putting out the new record. We're very excited to finally record in January. With 95% of the album written, we'll be wrapping up the loose ends and production details with the rest of the year. Most likely not out live until Feb. (Perhaps maybe a secret show or two before then...)

I heard some of you still went out to MOCA expecting an MM show. Well sorry, we tried to warn you. However, I'm sure the exhibit made up for any disappointment.

We just recorded a cover of Bowie's, Life On Mars at Clear Lake Audio a couple weeks ago. Our good friend JD Andrew produced and mixed it for us. Good man. It's possible that we'll have video from that on our site in the not too distant future.

Despite rumors and write-ups we are not playing the Basquiat exhibit at MOCA on September 17th. Unfortunately due to the recent changes in the band and the current state of things, we just couldn't do it. BUT, you really should go anyway. They are screening the new David LaChapelle film, "Rize," and we hear this Basquiat guy's pretty good too...

In other news we are working on a new website and preparing to record this record! Stay tuned...

Hello all. There have been many changes in the land of Midnight Movies... new music, new members, new video... We're getting all things together to record and tour the second record.

K.I.T.
