Just a quick plug for a band that’s up and coming, from the bass player of dada: X Levitation Cult.
Like the sounds coming out of Seattle these days – especially Joie Calio’s latest project. Check out the music here:

I’m hoping he puts the final touches on the new CD and TOUR so we can get a bunch of friends together and check it out. It’ll be good, no, GREAT I’m sure! With any luck they’ll be on the East Coast and close enough to Springfield/Hartford!
On a personal note, I’m forming a new band myself! I’m somewhat excited (although Dan’s still in it LOL), but seriously, the best part is that I have a pretty smokin’ drummer and not two, not three, but FOUR people who can sing and harmonize… I can hardly contain myself on that one!!!
Stay tuned, hope to be playing out in late December/early January.
Hi
I don’t know how you found out but you are spot on the new album is delicious.
Thankfully I get to hear it before most other people – being part of the record label helps here! But I can honestly say it is fantastic and Habit Forming has just got to be a hit. It is already spinning in Seattle and we haven’t even pressed a real copy yet so that must bode well.
Good luck with the new band.
It takes heart and soul and no little talent to be a musician.
Eugene,
I’ve been a fan of dada for quite some time – although I just didn’t know it :p. My band played “dim” for years and I never listened to another track until 2003 when my bandmates dragged me to a show at Harper’s Ferry. I was immediately hooked!
Joie Calio is one of my favorite musicians and I’ve told him on several occasions that “I want to be like him when I grow up”… problem is, I’m 40 and I still haven’t “grown up”.
At any rate, I’m really excited about the new album – from the tracks I’ve already heard, it’s going to be great.
I’d be very pleased to blog about the release, shows, whatever it takes to help get the word out! Drop me a line and let me know what I can do.
