All the news that's fit to post -- Fearless TV, Webstore Sale, Video, Remix Single, and Future Releases
posted on April.12.2008.
Item #1: The Static Age's live performance of the new song "Daughters and Sons" airs tonight and tomorrow night on Fearless Music TV (on Fox affiliates and elsewhere). For a bit about the upcoming episode, and a link to a list of stations that carry the show with specific airtimes, click here: Fearless info.
You can also view the performance of "Daughters and Sons" right now at the Fearless Music website by clicking here.
And when you're done, vote for the band on the front page of Fearless Music's website right here -- the band also recorded versions of "Amphibian," "Cherry Red," and "Trauma," and you need to vote if you want to see the rest of them.
Item #2: There's a Spring Cleaning sale going on at the TSA Webstore. We're making room for new designs this summer, so we're cleaning house. Most of the t-shirts are now just $9 (which includes US shipping), and a bunch of other stuff has been discounted.
We're also now offering "Neon Nights, Electric Lives" as a five dollar direct download, as it's now sold out on CD (Fun fact:we are now negotiating a re-release of Neon Nights with exclusive extras for later in the year -- details soon). "The Cost of Living" will soon be available like this as well.
Item #3: Here's the final installment of the video trilogy (see next post down) Yes, it's been online since last month. Do not bother us with such details. We forgot to post it here -- apologies. So, watch it -- then watch it (alongside the first two installments) in better quality at SeventeenScratches.com.
Item #4: Upcoming Remix Single...at least in Europe Greece's Christian Cambas and Finland's Squash 84 have teamed up to reinterpret "Lights in the Attic" from TSA's "Blank Screens" album twice over -- and the results will be available as a single on Greece's Devilock Records soon. You can preview the tracks at Cambas' myspace page here.
Item #5: Future Releases The band is in the beginning stages of the followup to "Blank Screens." Though that release won't be available likely until the end of the year, the band is also planning a maxi-single release for this Summer. A number of included remixes and reinterpretations are also being lined up. Details will be released over the next month or two.
"The Bluebird Room"

A rather belated post -- this was released on March 17th.
We're all blue from projection tubes: The Static Age takes on television
posted on April.09.2008.
The Static Age will be appearing on Fearless Music on Fox affiliates all over the place (check out this list to see if the show is available in your area) this weekend -- Sunday night in NYC, Saturday everywhere else.
The band will be performing an unreleased song called "Daughters and Sons" (those who caught the band on either the August or October/November tours last year might recognize it) -- and if you vote for TSA next week at fearlessmusic.tv, you'll get to see more songs recorded during the same session on the next episode (the following Saturday)...don't worry, we'll remind you.
So tune in this weekend...as a bonus, Andrew neglected to shave for the appearance, and this may be your only chance to publicly witness his unintentional attempt at a beard. You'll also get to check out performances by Architecture In Helsinki, the Hush Sound, and others.
In other news, recording is coming along swimmingly. Expect a new update by the end of the week.

Go, watch.
In other news, The Static Age taped four songs live for Fearless Music this afternoon. Details and air dates soon.

Recording, Television, etc
posted on February.20.2008.
While The Static Age is still knee-deep in the writing and demoing process for our next record, we've also been attending to a handful of other matters that may be of interest to you.
Here's an update:
First off, the conclusion to the Blank Screens trilogy is underway. The pledge is to answer some questions and perhaps raise a few others in the process. Hey, you people love it when Lost does it. That's due for release on March 17th. In the meantime, you can get caught up by visiting SeventeenScratches.com.
Second, the band is going to record a set for Fearless Music in mid-March, to be aired on certain Fox affiliates as well as to be available at Fearless' website. Keep your eyes peeled for that soon.
Third, the "Sirens" single ("Lights in the Attic" revisited) by Christian Cambas feat. The Static Age (with b-side remix by Finland's Squash84) will be released in May. The label is based in Greece, but the internet's grace will bring it direct to your room. You owe Steve Jobs a nice note.
