The stillmotion crew has been working hard on this documentary for Showtime/CBS and it airs tomorrow night (December 21) on Showtime.

Why bring this up you may ask?  Because we just so happen to have a tune in the documentary.  stillmotion always does awesome work and we’re super excited that we get to be a small part of this project.  Tune in tomorrow night (or set your DVRs.)

Update: Stillmotion has created a couple of beautiful pieces using City Lights and Fall.

We’re happy to announce an exciting new partnership of sorts.  Occasionally we’ll be contacted by people who are interested in licensing our music for different types of projects.  There hasn’t been a very good vehicle for independent content creators to license music from indie musicians in an affordable fashion.  The crew at With Etiquette is one of the first to step into that gap and help.  Now indie musicians can get compensated for having their music used in small projects, and on reasonable terms for indie content creators.  So if you’re interested in licensing our music for a project of yours don’t hesitate to contact us or the With Etiquette crew.  And if you don’t care about licensing our music you should still check out their website and listen to some of the other artists on there.  Check out this sweet video made by Kansas City photographer and videographer Mike Varel.  Music is by the lovely Amy Seeley.

Brian Ibbott was kind enough to include us in another awesome episode of Coverville.  He last featured our cover of Apologize in February of 2009. This time around he’s using our cover of “You Found Me” by the Fray.  Take a few seconds and head on over to Coverville and take a look around.  There’s a lot of great cover tunes on there.  You can also follow Brian on twitter @coverville and subscribe to the coverville podcast in itunes.

For those of you in the Kansas City area, the film “Works in Progress” will be showing at the Mainstreet AMC (by far the coolest theater in the area) as a part of the Kansas City Film Festival.  We were lucky to have a handful of our songs make it onto the film’s soundtrack.  The first showing sold out so they’ve added a second show.  Tickets can be purchased online here.  For a little bit of background about the film click here.

We’re happy to announce that we’ll be taking part in Songs for the Cure 2010.  Its a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society put together by fellow musician and composer Josh Whelchel. Its pretty simple.  Over thirty musicians from an eclectic mix of genres are writing/donating unreleased music for the project.  All the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.  We’ll be writing an original song for the project as well.  For further details on the project visit http://www.cancerdrive.org/

You can pre-order a digital copy for $10 and $25 will get you a hard copy.  Donate here.

I don’t know if there’s anyone out there that doesn’t personally know someone who’s been affected by cancer.  So pass on a couple trips to Starbucks and support a good cause… plus you get some cool tunes.

Local Band Offers a Year’s Worth of Music – for Free

Kansas City, Kan. – A Kansas City-based duo released a new free song every Monday for the past year. Now, 52 songs and one year later, the duo is ready to celebrate.

The band two seconds away offered the free weekly downloads at their website NewMusicMonday.com. Band members Patrick Largen and Tim Seley are ending their year-long project with a way to say thank you to the people who have supported them. For 52 hours, starting at 5 p.m. CST on September 28^th and running through 9 p.m. CST on September 30^th, they are offering all 52 songs again for free.

“Since the songs were originally only available for a short time, people who were late in finding the project missed out on some earlier releases,” Largen said. “This is a chance for the fans that joined late in the game to get those first songs.”

After the 52-hour celebration, the songs will still be available for purchase from various e-tailers and from NewMusicMonday.com.

Now that the band has completed its song a week project, they are excited to focus their creative energy in different ways.

“Although having a new song every week was fun, the nature of the project meant that we didn’t get very much time to really craft the music,” Seley said. “Our plan is to go back and rework some of our favorites and work towards a more polished full-length album.”

The duo said they won’t abandon the NewMusicMonday.com project, and will offer free music again in 2010, with a new song each month.
