News, news, and more news...(warning: this post contains lots of pink)
Summer, why must you pass me by so quickly! I'm dumping a bunch of news on here just to get it out so you can't say I didn't tell you! (I apologize in advance for all the self promotion but this stuff currently IS my existence). The question now is, will I see you in person this fall (insert check box: Yes or No) ? ;)

New CD "Hearts For Bullets" in pre-order now from me: http://www.ayria.com or my label: http://www.alfa-matrix.com plus various other web shops.




Also, I'm so excited to announce we'll be hitting the road this fall again. I get to visit so many U.S. cities I haven't seen since winter 2007! Of course, I'll be promoting the new CD "Hearts For Bullets" that I'm so incredibly proud of and really can't wait for you guys to hear. We'll be supporting The Cruxshadows again and bringing special guests I:Scintilla (fellow Alfa Matrix label mates! Whoo!) Unfortunately Joe Byer my keyboardist will not be able to join me on this tour due to personal commitments (his wedding! Congrats Joe & Steph!) so after an intensive search this summer for a new live keyboardist, I've found someone and wouldn't you know, he's a fellow Canadian. His name is Jeff and he's from Toronto and I really think he's going to be a great addition to the live line up for this tour. Here's the dates so far:




Lastly, Ayria's confirmed for playing Montreal's Kinetic Festival in May 2009. Anyone who was there last year, knows it's some of the most fun EVER! So many bands.. and I hear they are announcing even more!

Ignore my last reply. I think I have my cities mixed up (bad me) I think that place was Denver.. sadly, this is what happens when all you see is highway, the inside of a club and the Taco Bell for 3 months ;)

Are there any UK dates planned?

(Even if there aren't, hopefully we'll be getting a contingent together for Kinetik. It looks *amazing* - Will bring Jaffa Cakes.)

You guys all coming to Canada from the UK for Kinetic would be amazing! But if not, I'll plan something for 2009 ok?

Hey Jenn,

Glad to see you're coming back to Austin!

I'm going to be DJ'ing @ Elysium on the 23rd and was wondering if you had any advance copies of the new album or any club-friendly remixes you want to push?

See ya in October!

Oh cool! Um, I don't yet have the new CD. The label has just gotten it in I think and they say it looks fantastic. I'm always the last to get it ;)

I can shoot some mp3s your way if that will work. Maybe get a DJ site going for just this occasion. Probably the main 4 that are either already released or a few I'm trying to pimp for the tour? email me at jennifer@ayria.com

Edingburgh is one of the most beautifully stunning cities in the world. The castle (which we only had 20 minutes at unfortunately) and the little stone streets were so amazing. If unicorns were to choose to live anywhere on earth, it would be Edinburgh ;)

I'm really excited for the new album, btw. Been doing an online DJ thing for Second Life and I played Bad List and people loved how great it sounded. The rest of the samples I heard from the album were absolutely FANTASTIC so I look forward to hearing you perform them live :)

October 4th in Seattle can't come soon enough... I'll keep an eye out for when the venue is announced. Is Mike booking the show again for you this time around?

Also, yay for Canadian keyboardist! I'm sure he'll be awesome, but we'll miss Joe's spiky hair!

Cool. Thanks. Ok, if you like Bad List you won't be dissapointed. It's tough to choose the set list actually. I went back to listen to the old CD's after only hearing the new stuff for the past year.. it was weird, I really wish I could just play the entire new CD but that's not realistic ;)

Thanks for the venue update. Yes, Mike's booking it and he's also on the tour. Oh and I think you're mixing Joe up with Eric, Joe is VERY BALD ;)

Also, Seattle venue's been announced as El Corazon, so might want to update. It's listed on the Musicwerks website.

Can't wait, even though I'm not a big fan of that venue. I'll go if you're playing ;)

Is El Corazon where we played last time? Where the cops came during our set and Mike had to jump off stage to deal with it and I didn't even notice? I looked over and there's Josh on the drums! ;)

Lots of pink? Never too much pink!

Better get my arse into gear and get my pre-order in for the new CD!

Would love to come over for the Kinetic festival. We usually go to WGT every May... well, I'll keep an eye on the line-up of both, although Toronto seems to have a huge lead already! Might end up joining that crazy Hamsterhotep fella for the UK contingent!

But we'll still be pushing for you to come over for InFest for 2009 :o)

2008-08-16 01:01 pm UTC (link)
Yes, Yes, please vote or however it works for Infest! If I can get there next summer, that timing should be PERFECT!

I'm not sure if/what other festivals I can get on, but I'll try. If not, then you'll have no choic but bring all that pink over from the U.K. to Canada next May ;)

Gah! Why do you have to perform the weekend that I will be out of town (the DC and Norfolk show)?

*sadness*

Maybe as part of a graduation gift, I can go to Canada to see you and all of those amazing bands. *hopes*

You should come to Richmond, Virginia. We rule, pretty much.
