Seven Color Sky (Psych. Furs-produced)
Posted: Thu Nov 24, 2005 1:47 amHi all -
Okay, shameless plug... I've lurked around this site for a while now since it caters to my 20+ year new wave fandom (probably getting started in earnest around the Duran Duran "Rio" and Thompson Twins' "Side Kicks" era in late junior high). However, I decided to be more bold and add my contribution to the Next Wave scene here.
I'm the 'synth guy' from Seven Color Sky, which has been based out of Pittsburgh, PA for over three years. Our last disc was produced by John Ashton of The Psychedelic Furs and has been doing relatively well in terms of downloads and sales, especially to the UK and elsewhere in Europe (we keep seeing random - and positive - reviews popping up over there). When we started the band, we didn't have anything in mind other than a side hobby to write and play music in the vein of what we loved - no, make that what we are obsessed with - which for all of us was The Cure, Smiths, The Chameleons, Furs, Depeche Mode, and more. A lot of records by The Housemartins, The The, Pretenders, Siouxsie, Love and Rockets, Cars, Sisters of Mercy, Echo/Bunnymen, New Order/Joy Div, and others have been spun by us over the past 20 years too!
In any case, it's turned into a bit more than we originally planned, as we've toured to several cities in support of the Furs, and we've opened for The Fixx, Trashcan Sinatras and Dave Wakeling/The English Beat in Pittsburgh.
Since we're not 20-year-old MTV-friendly kids, you'll probably never see our stuff in the bins at Best Buy, but it's worth seeking out online. If any of our influences sound interesting to you, check us out at www.sevencolorsky.com for some clips and where you can get the discs. If you do, thanks for listening!
