Enumclaw will be vibing downstairs in the old office, which will be transformed into an ambient drone zone.

More info, tickets and full line up at The Knitting Factory.

Just returned home from the Kensington post office where the new Niagara Falls record, Sequence of Prophets. was shipped off to the plant!  This one’s been a long time coming, and we’re really psyched for it to drop in February 2009.  We’re ditching the compact disc with this one and will be pressing limited edition vinyl with mp3 dowloads.  Our friends at Apollo Audio will be handling the mp3 downloads which will come free with purchase of the vinyl.  

Here’s a sneak peak of the opening track, Flatlands…

We’re also ever so pleased to announce that Geoff Bucknam (of Blood Like Mine) has joined the ever-morphing entity that is Niagara.  Geoff is a master of texture and tone, and will be adding deep layers of organic, electric guitar.   

There is a new-ish Niagara Falls Facebook page, with all the latest gossip.  Come friend us up.

In old Niagara news, a recording that we did over the phone back in 2006 for the radio show Phoning it In, is available on their new site right here, along with a ton of other great live performances.

Pretty amazing double dose of shows this Friday and Saturday. One on the east side, one on the west.

Our bro Greg Weeks is touring Europe with Language of Stone band, Festival until the end of the month. He’s debuting a batch of new tunes with the Festival sisters, Lindsay and Alexis, as his backing band. Weeks’ incredible new album The Hive was just released on Wichita in Europe, and will be released by Language of Stone in the U.S. in early 2009. Check the dates below, and catch a show.

Says Peter Taylor of Foxy Digitalis,

“Bubbling electronics and damped sound forge hypnotic noises.”

“Mirages of melodies are dissolved in reverb and white noise.”

“A very hypnotic side with some of the greatest live synth resonance put to CD-R this year.”

“a journey well worth treading and a high recommendation for all into meditative music. 7/10″

Full review here, and you can pick up a copy over in the shop, of course.
