Take You On (Demo)
Here is new song #16.2. We’ve played this one live a couple of times last year but have left it off our setlist in ‘06…not for any particular reason. We recorded “Take You On” in November with the brilliant Matt Mahaffey at a studio in Nashville.
This might be the last song we put out on the blog for a little while as we are still demoing the new songs. Some of you came out to the show at Mercy Lounge and heard a song called “Lions Dressed in Leather.” Next week it could be “Lions Dressed in Pleather” or “My Aunt Likes Feathers”…who knows. Until we have final versions of our new songs we don’t want to put up anymore. But we will give out other goodies such as some behind the scenes video footage and other anomalies.
Thanks…oh, and if you live in Knoxville we are playing with The Walkmen March 9.

NIIIIICE! Hearing that gave me that good old-fashioned feeling that one got from attending a junior-high dance. I really like it. It gives me a urge to do the “hippie dance”…Ha…Thanks, C-line

Incredible!!! The keys sound so perfect! I can’t wait for this album! It very well could be better than the first.

I like it. I have yet to hear something I don’t like from you keep it up.

Oh man, you guys are amazing… even your management rocks! Ah, Knoxville, here I come… not right now, though.

Simply beautiful.

All of the different elements just come together and makes such a great track, great to just chill out to. Hope you will be coming over to the UK sometime this summer and doing the festivals. Hope it’s not too long for the next album.

So, anyone watching CBS lately? If so, you probably heard “Blow It Out” on a commercial. That’s pretty cool.
March 15th, 2006 at 5:38 pm e
i just heard blow it out on a promo for some cbs tv show.
it’s awesome to have good music on t.v., but whats with letting cbs use your music for a 30 second commercial?
March 15th, 2006 at 5:41 pm e
but then again, you gotta pay those bills.

Hearing Blow It Out on that Courting Alex CBS promo is a triumph. I’m certainly telling everyone I know to listen for it. Does anyone understand the odds of that happening to any of the tens of thousands of bands out there dying in the cold deserts of neglect? I think it is a brilliant and luminous moment for The Features.

Dig the new song. Can’t wait to see you in Nashville again. Is there a tentative release date for the next album, and is Exibit A available on vinyl?
March 21st, 2006 at 11:00 am e
What an excellent question Erin! I do know that Exhibit A is not available on vinyl. At least not yet . . .
March 21st, 2006 at 9:03 pm e
Wow. I can’t say much more than that. Just wow. I’m so proud of you guys! Let me know when you get action figures. I want a Rollum doll in my stocking.
March 21st, 2006 at 9:06 pm e
Err…I meant Christmas stocking. HA!

Love it!! Can’t wait to hear the polished up full studio version. Please come play in Kansas City or Lawrence, KS! (BTW- The Click to Play thing works in Mac IE5.2 but not Safari 1.3.2 or Firefox 1.0.3)

sounds awesome….. has a british invasion vibe… maybe that’s just me. but i love it. (even though it’s playing in little bits! my dumb computer….) i can’t wait for the new album!
by-the-by: when looking for ur guys’ lyrics online i ran into some truely awful attempts…. i haven’t found a full or correct version of Exhibit A yet. i was hoping you guys could post your own lyrics on the site.
that would be lovely.
thanks for doing what you do!

Hi guy’s. I see your still rocking out.. Brings back memories of when you guy’s would get together in that makeshift studio Matt built in his sisters playhouse. Seems like yesterday. I miss that sound, oh wait, i can just pop in the cd… Glad you guy’s are still doing it. Email me sometime Matt or Roge. Your friend\fan Gilmore..
