Ha ha ha!!!

This is a funny review from a New York punk & rock n roll fansite called New York Waste:

LOVESPIRALS Windblown Kiss is a soft, gentle breeze blowing through the white curtains of your perfect house on the hill with little flowers growing all pretty in a row in a garden of soft green grass to stretch out on in those lazy days we call summer. Okay, enough, enough, I’m gonna puke! Okay, very lovely stuff. Dreamy voices floating over spanish guitar, this a huge potential in some hot European country, just keep it out of mine!

So who the heck sent them this review copy?

Lycia

Just joined the Lycia mailing list about a week ago and have entered into many lively chats with Tara and friends about all kinds of fun stuff. She’s kinda sad that they missed the Projekt Fest… There’s been a lot of talk about getting all the AZ Projekt bands together to do a show out there sometime, so maybe we can get either Lycia, Estraya or Tara Van Flower to make an appearance?

Anyway, if you like Lycia, too, come check out their newslist at: http://lycia.darkspire.net/

Nice comment!

DJ Bryan, of “The Witching Hour: on WRSU, New Jersey, was sweet enough to including this quip in his weekly playlist:

Windblown Kiss has got to be my favorite release from Ryan Lum. Even the DJ who spins house music before my show liked what he heard. He described it as ‘seductive’.”

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside…

First WK review

LovespiralsWindblown Kiss (Projekt): Love Spirals Downwards remove the “Downwards,” dispense with the electronic beats of Flux, and change the singer, but remain as ethereally innocuous as ever, if a bit more eclectic. — Angry Robot

Pretty much to the point, eh? I looked up “innocuous” just to make sure that there actually is a positive use for it. Ha ha!

Touring

I’ve been thinking that it would be nice to do a few short tours to support the album. We could try to set up small West Coast and East Coast tours, plus a show or two in Mexico, at the very least… No idea how we’d go about booking it, though. I wonder if we should try to travel with another Projekt band or two, or just go it solo? We’ll have to talk to everybody at ProjektFest, to see what they think!

Practice

Had our first real practice session yesterday. Made a few tweaks to the song lineup, and now we think we have something both comfortable and dynamic. After several run throughs we both felt nice ‘n’ loose. Ryan’s got quite a few guitar solos to perform, something he’s never really done in prior live shows, so he’s a bit nervous. We have yet to practice with Doron, who will be handling several solos for us on sax, so that should be exciting to hear. So far, though, so good. 5 more weeks to go!
