The release party info will be posted on the Assemblage 23, SD6, 23db
Records, and backandtotheleft LiveJournals and MySpace sites, among
other places, to help you advertise.
Information about the band is as follows:
Rising from the ashes of the Portland, Oregon electronic act, Omnibox,
SD6 was officially born in 2002. After a seemingly never-ending search
for additional personnel, singer/songwriter Brandon Jerwa reassigned
manager Jessica Blackshear to the role of a full-fledged band member.
Soon enough, everything naturally fell into place: a relocation to
Seattle turned out to be a creative breath of fresh air, and the duo
quickly found their missing link with the addition of highly skilled
keyboardist Nicole Edmonds. Further along the way, the circle widened
to include Fritter (former drummer for Backandtotheleft, Noxious
Emotion and Omnibox).
Jerwa's sudden - and successful - breakthrough as a comic book
writer forced the band to take their time during the recording process,
so they simply rolled with the punches. The extra time spent on the
record paid off, allowing the band's sound to grow and evolve
naturally for their first release, rather than forcing the process
through the crunch of deadlines.
With everything in place, Tom Shear of Assemblage 23 was recruited for
his well-known production polish to bring out the best in the music
created by the band. The result is the band's debut, "Between Noise
and Transmission," a unique blend of emotionally intense lyrics,
ear-catching melodies, and relentless dance beats with a fluid
electronic backdrop. Indeed, the album is a still-life portrait of a
band constantly in motion, but unwilling to be pushed in one defined
direction. The band continues to play regular shows, supporting such
acts as Covenant, Melotron, Cesium 137 and Icon of Coil. Full-scale
tour plans are currently being mapped out for 2007, following the
release of the new record.
