Cinetrope CD Release Party with Feeding Fingers and Nerd Parade
| Description: | Cinetrope CD Release Party with Feeding Fingers and Nerd Parade
Doors @ 8pm Cover $10 w/CD!! Cinetrope The beginnings of Cinetrope stemmed from conversations amidst two co-workers at a local bookstore. Their love for music and art would ignite a friendship. In the summer of 2003 Sharron and Steve made a journey to Florida to perform for the first time together. This event would lead to the foundation for Cinetrope. After many beers one evening with the trusty 16 track recorder, the skeleton of a couple of songs had emerged. Next enter the bassist. Charles and Steve had shared a job together in a brief stint as office employees, trudging away in the vast cubicals of customer service. Songs were being written when the final member of the band was found at a coffeeshop in Sharron’s neighborhood. Scotty had just become bandless in a timely manner, when Sharron asked him to check out their demo. The personell of the band was complete. The last thing to do now was to write more songs and come up with a name that fit the mood of the music. "This sounds like music you might hear in a film." Thus, Cinetrope, translating to "film music" became the monogram of the band. Feeding Fingers Feeding Fingers is a Stickfigure Records & Tephramedia post-punk/new-wave trio fronted by international award-winning animator/multi-media artist, Justin Curfman and supported by multi-instrumentalist, Todd Caras (2006 - 2009), Kris Anderson (2009 - present), and percussionist, Danny Hunt. Their debut full-length album, "Wound in Wall" (Stickfigure Records/Tephramedia), was released in 2007 to favorable review on an international scale. Their second album, "Baby Teeth", was released January, 27, 2008 from Stickfigure Recordings, Tephramedia, and NetManagement Musik Verlag and will be followed up by a U.S. tour with some dates in Canada and Europe through 2009 and 2010. Nerd Parade Randy Garcia and Rich Wilson met in a Florida middle-school cafeteria in 1991. Soon after, the duo began to learn how to make music together. Typical practice sessions involved poor quality cassette recordings, liberal amounts of instrument swapping, guitar smashing and foul language befitting a pair of teenagers in the epoch of grunge. Forward 18 years and not much has changed — only now they can play a little better. Garcia and Wilson, along with drummer Chris Sheldon and singer Abby Wren are the Nerd Parade, a titular phrase that is wholly descriptive of this group’s collective persona. Nerd Parade officially began in 2006 when a particularly disillusioned R. Garcia called upon his friends to take musical chances, zig where there could have easily been a zag, and never, ever take themselves too seriously. Nerd Parade has created a distinct set of ethics for their musical output, eschewing the common teen angst and blatant negative themes of modern popular music in favor of a more positive (albeit bittersweet) approach. Their songs are clever and witty without being overtly intellectual, fun and challenging without being lofty. Evocative and personal, each Nerd Parade song tends to be a chapter in some larger narrative, drawing from real-life experience and designed to bring forth a sense of involvement from the listener, rather than rouse the most basic emotions.
