i'll write some more
guest blog!
"the guy on the couch" is back again today, after doing such a terrific job yesterday writing about NEW friends judah johnson, i enlisted him to write about a terrifically OLD friend of his, leaving rouge. you should know that this week's resident guest blogger is not only a leaving rouge SUPERfan, he's also their biggest fan. a client and a near-member. i'm observing traditions of workweek internet activity and taking the weekend off from BIG friends. monday will start with another guest blogger writing about some more friends, and i'll be continuing BIG friends well into next week. happy friday, sun drenches us in detroit. here ya go:
Leaving Rouge [myspace] will release their 3rd record entitled “Elsewhere” March 14th on Portland's Greyday Productions. It is a pretty drastic change from the broad, atmospheric sounds of “White Houses” which was itself a departure from the first record. The new songs have a decidedly more driving and concise nature while retaining singer and lyricist Sean Hoen’s beautiful and haunting knack for telling stories of life and loss. Don’t let the new found pop edge throw you off. These songs are incredibly intelligent and feature some of the most poetic words being put to music in this day and age.
The song “Chain Letters” is probably the hardest hitter of the new songs and presented here for you. If there is any justice left in the music world, this song and the others on “Elsewhere” will finally put Leaving Rouge in the spotlight they deserve.

i'd be in attendance for this, but i'll be in lansing at mac's bar for the bound stems show. this is a first-time for both me and for michigan, and there's nothing but huge excitement to see one of my very much new favorite bands. chicago's bound stems totally get it right without fail or end. they get pop, they get complex AND catchy, they get fusing but not mashing them together. they get notions like hope and loss and being-in-your-mid-to-late-20s. they get loving-living-in-chicago and loving-someone-far-away. and they get it so damn well, soon you won't be able to ignore it. they're going to SLAY the the critics, the charts, the blogs. trust me.
bound stems
crimes and follies
