First Twitter, Then Facebook!
We’ve been online a lot lately with the new There Is No Sin CD. Turns out trying to generate some noise is kinda fun. We’ve got a few more months before it comes out.
Then, someone asked if we had a Facebook page and we just sat there dumbfounded. We’d overlooked that in 2010. And what about Twitter? Forgot that one too.
Say hi to us!

New Year, New Site!
We’re celebrating the New Year by unveiling the official site for the upcoming There Is No Sin CD “We Are Revealed.”
The featured song is called “Untitled.” It’s the third track off the upcoming disc. It features some of the saddest lyrics we’ve heard off (the lines Troy sings during the bridge).
The photos? They’re the work of Leroy Skalstad, a Milwaukee photographer who has captured the lives of countless homeless people on film. Leroy is a member of Help-Portait, a non-profit with an interesting goal: get photographs to those in need. For more information, click here.

The winning video for “El Cid” was shot by Rukshan Thenuwara in California. This one stuck out for a few reasons: it was the only original submission shot in black & white and he emailed us personally. Troy laughed: “I never think about the partner’s alcohol issues…I always picture myself as the problem drinker.”
Created by Rukshan Thenuwara. Starring Tim Brown and Lacey Rae Pawlowicz. Cinematography by Annie Buad and Yoshi Satoh. Lighting by Chathurika Thenuwara.

Our winning submission for “ER” was created and edited by Dana McIlleney of Chicago. It was the only submission that didn’t use original footage. All of the scenes were pulled from public domain videos on the Internet Archives. We were captivated by the scenes from the cigarette ads. “Ignore the oddness of ‘prime-time cigarette commercials’ as a concept though, the stop-animation sequences were insane for that time,” commented Troy.
