Help us get The Spores on the radio! Thursday, June 29th The Spores were on LA/OC radio station Indie 103.1 to play two songs and do a small interview.

Now we have to show Indie how much we love The Spores. Go to www.indie1031.com/requests/request.php and tell them you want to hear "(Don't) Kill Yourself" off of Imagine the Future. You don't have to be in LA/OC either! Indie broadcasts their radio over the internet! Check it out at www.indie1031.com. That means everyone can request The Spores and don't forget to call your local radio stations either!

And if you haven't done it yet, make sure to pick up your copy of their debut release at your local record store. It's available nationwide, but if you can't find it out there, head over to the Sidecho Store to pick it up there!

Hello friends,

We are back from tour feeling physically strong and mentally awake, feeling more able to take things one day at a time and also feeling somewhat fancy fresh.

On the last date of our tour with the mighty Roy in lovely Spokane, WA, the Spokane 7 was kind enough to feature our performance at Rock Coffee as one of their weekly podcasts.

You can listen to that podcast here: http://www.spokane7.com/music/shows/?ID=112.

Prior to this show, we had just driven to Spokane all the way from Jackson, Wyoming. We drove through the night where we came across buffalo in Yellowstone National Park, a cat-themed breakfast restaurant in Montana and...well, our own personalized hangovers.

We hope you enjoy. Cheers to all of you.

Love,
Some By Sea.

PS--Make sure you head over to the Spokane 7 site so you can hear what you might have been missing. One listen and you'll be waiting for tickets for their next tour. Enjoy!

Hi Friends......

1090 will be shooting the video for "second hander" in Seattle in the next few weeks. We need some people to come in as extras on the shoot. Inetersted? All the info you need is below...

Tuesday, July 11th at the Capital Hill Arts Center. (directions below) 8:30 - 12:00 midnight. Bring your friends!!! This will be a blast.

The Details:

The Capitol Hill Arts Center is located in the heart of Capitol Hill, Seattle, on the corner of 12th Avenue and E. Pine Street, just East of the Lincoln Reservoir. The street address is 1621 - 12th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122


From I-90, take Exit 2-C for Madison Street, make a right off the ramp and take Madison up to 12th, make a left on 12th, and go two blocks, crossing past E. Union and E. Pike. The next light that you will pass is E. Pine (the East Precinct Police Station on your left), go through that intersection and the C.H.A.C is the 2nd building on your left, just past the Liquor Store parking lot.


From 520 or from North, Head South on I-5 S. Take the Stewart St. exit (EXIT 166). Make a slight right onto Stewart Stthen get in the furthest left lane. Turn left onto Denny Way, then stay in the right hand lane for about 1/2 mile until you reach 12th Ave. Turn RIGHT onto 12th Ave. CHAC is located about 2 &1/2 blocks down 12th on the right side of the street, just before the next stop light (Pike St.).


From the South , take I-5 N. Take the Olive St. exit. Proceed up the hill on Olive. Olive will turn into John St. Cross over Broadway, still on John st. Take a right (now going South) on 12th. Go about 4 blocks. The C.H.A.C is on your right, next to the liquor store that is on the corner of 12th & E. Pine.

The Spores Explore the Dark Side

That's quite a crowd the Spores assemble onstage: singer-bassist Molly McGuire, guitarist Greg Biribauer and drummer Kenny Pierce, not to mention a cast of set-crashers that includes the Preacher, DJ Tito Zzorro, Stunbunny and Miss Fishnets. The latter group, it should be pointed out, are puppets, the L.A. trio's alter-egos and other products of their whimsical dark side.

The Muppets they aren't.

"I was a visual artist first and became a musician later. People should know that when they're coming to see the Spores, it's more of a variety show," McGuire says. "It's entertainment."

So at a Spores show you might witness the snarling Preacher's ranting, Tito Zzorro's scratching and Fishnets' vamping, along with sundry other characters and finger puppets.

The music on the Spores' debut, "Imagine the Future," on Sidecho Records, has some character too, mixing thumping rockers with twitchy electronica — imagine Garbage in electroshock therapy, or spaced-out Joshua Tree quartet Gram Rabbit even more spaced out.

The trio marks the release of its album with shows Friday at Pappy and Harriet's in Pioneertown, Sunday at Safari Sam's and Monday at the Viper Room.

From, The Spores:

Are you ready to throw in the towel on your dreams?... Settle down into a life that isn't all "that"?... Give up and join the rest of the lemmings?... Stop investing your time, money and heart into something that you think will never happen?... Well FUCK THAT. I'm here to prove to all of you, that if you hang on to those slivers of hope and keep fighting for them, your dreams will be realized right in front of your eyes and soul.

I though I'd pretty much run the mill of trying to create music that mattered with people that cared. Got fucked over by labels, managers, other band members, you name it. Thought I might be done. So okay, I was doing sound for some pretty cool acts, mixing shows all over the world fom Madison Square Garden in NYC to Milkweg in Amsterdam to Big Day Out in Australia. But something was missing. I still felt I had something to offer to the world musically, something down inside me that had the magic that was missing from half the acts I was mixing. ?So I kept going, kept learning, kept writing. Kept PUSHING...?

Then all of a sudden an angel came into my life. She was just down the hallway at an old house I used to share in North Hollywood. We lived together for months, finding each other slowly, gaining trust as friends, building respect as peers. I had a few songs, so did she, ones she'd never bring to any of her musical collaborators at the time. We tracked one of her's first, eventually calling it "Entwined Like Lovers". We finished it and I felt the hair on my arms rise. We were onto something. Then came a riff from my library. That turned into "El Matador". Then came a bunch more songs, one called "Kill Yourself" (eventually renaming it "(Don't) Kill Yourself" to keep the FCC off our backs).??All of a sudden, there was a record done. And people actually fucking dug it. OUR songs! They tripped? Wha? Whassup? You DIG this? Well, actually, we do, too.?Then I asked the most brilliant drummer I knew to join. And he was into it! Then, Kazzaam!! We were playing out! And the shows were great! Then we started touring cuz we wanted to go to Mardi Gras. All of a sudden, people were coming back to see us play and we be-friended them.

Then we found an honest, brilliant and steadfast manager who believed. Then a whole pile of fans started showing up in places like La Habra and New Orleans, and D.C. and Charleston, WV and Seattle and San Francisco and Houston and New York and then Abraca Pocus!!!! Mark Sovell and Indie 103.1 played DKY and then Holy Crap! Rodney Bingenheimer played it on KROQ, what? How did that happen?

Then, NO WAY!!! We got a record deal with people that really cared about music. And now... Hokus Cadabra!!! ...we have an album coming out all over the USA on June 27?...and it's actually a record that we're proud of?... and we made it OURSELVES? How the fuck did that happen??

Well, I'll tell you, my dear little Sporeheads...?Never give up on your dreams. Fucking NEVER. Hold on. They're coming. They're closer than you think. ??But remember, the trip there is the real juice.?.............?To all our fans that have made the journey so far, hats off to y'all. You have enriched our lives on levels we could have never imagined, and we owe you our history. But I guess for us, the time is now to imagine the future.??

THE SPORES - Imagine the future
Label: Sidecho Records
Reviewed by: Christina Cetto
Will The Spores make it? Only time will tell; June 27 of 2006 to be exact. Along with a catchy debut album title, comes along a catchy but spacey Trip-hop new band, The Spores. The Spores, one can consider a poor man’s version of England’s infamous Portishead. In areas where Portishead really tends to stand and deliver, The Spore’s vibe tends to be much lighter and shyer, but also retains that same techno/electronica sound.
“The Spores will win you over live. You’ll put down the cellie and become a fan”-Indie 103.1. Their single “(Don’t) Kill yourself” had received particular media and industry insider’s attention. Much thought that the original title of the single “Kill yourself” was “too brutal for mass exposure”-thespores.com . Because of the hesitant and negative release advice given to The Spores, they simply added one word into the title that changed it all. Now it is called “(Don’t) Kill yourself,” and since then it is a highly anticipated album. Imagine the future has been featured on KROQ's "Rodney on the Roq" and "Flash Forward." Hopefully The Spores live up to their already sought after reputation, and do truly become as popular as they expect to be.

1090 Club although a unique name are definitely a New Rock / Indie vibe with a twist of heart and soul. The freshmen to Sidecho Records 1090 are an Indie quartet that is each member of the band sharing vocal responsibilities. Which is really something that grabs some ones attention basically you don’t see that much anymore, which is really a sad thing. Running along the lines of Death Cab For Cutie or The Postal Service 1090 club will be making a name for themselves.

Steve Fisk (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Minus the Bear) and Alex Newport (Mars Volta, At the Drive-In gave a helping hand in mixing several of the tracks on this album. Have two HUGE names in music mix parts of your new album out of the love for your band really says something. If you have never really took a listen to most Indie music then its really a breathe of fresh air, no ear shattering and no base tracks that shake your water glass on the table. Its not hard to be a vocal based band now in this day because not too many bands really take that stride to rely on their talent as vocalists. Mike Galt, keyboards; Megan Dibble, violin; and Steve Serfazo, drums really make a bit of light music and created something wonderful.

My favorite track on this album is track 9, “Business End”; it shows that they have some attitude and some style. Most of you are probably all primarily “PUNK” fans but you really should see what Indie music has to offer. There is something out there for everyone you just have the intuition to try new things.
