BLOG SONG -- Tripp has a new blog on Integral Naked along with the likes of Live's Eddie Kowalczyk, Ottmar Liebert, and Kenji Williams.
Screaming Witness is chugging along quite nicely. At least nine songs will be finished very soon and the boys hope to release a disc in february or so.
Join the Screaming Witness mailing list here.
"SURVIVOR" NOW AVAILABLE -- Head on over to the music section and scroll down to find a NEW SONG! It's actually an old tune that was tracked during the be the sky sessions. Tripp polished it up, mixed it and put it up on the site. You'll also see the link for the acoustic version of "we are the ones".
NAKED, NAKED AGAIN -- Integral Naked is now featuring MORE Hank Madison. There's a new video featuring Tripp's performance of "Invisible Girls" from a recent Integral Art hoedown at Ken Wilber's pad. Plus, be sure to check out the Stu Cam series which includes Stuart Davis performing in a very small bathroom while Tripp works the toilet cheeks down.
GET NAKED -- Integral Naked is a website hosted by the esteemed Ken Wilber and is devoted to all things integral. It features interviews and appearances from the likes of Billy Corgan, Saul Williams and Michael Crichton, and we're pleased to announce that Hank Madison is now featured on the site. This is quite an honor for the HM.
MASKATRON GETS ITS RECORD ON -- Aquil and Jack are continuing their Maskatron efforts. They've been consolidating all the cool ideas from jamming and are now beginning to piece them together. Stay tuned.
SCREAMING WITNESS PREPRODUCTION -- Tripp leaves for LA today to begin preproduction on the new Screaming Witness record.
STUART WHO? -- Many of you don't know who the hell Stuart Davis is, but Tripp and HM producer Alex Gibson co-produced SD's latest album. Tripp sings and plays guitar/bass throughout. Purchase it here.
MASKATRON -- Aquil and Jack have been busily developing Maskatron. From Jack: "I wanted an instrumental project with no boundries, but with a purpose and message. So far it involves 2
beings or Robots that travel the outer worlds. Our message to earth is that
'your world can be better and if you do not change we will eliminate you
permanently' -- essentially a cry for positive change.
We really wanted to create something fantasy related or science fiction based because for me its always been cool to take a journey with
the band, to let the music take you places. Maskatron is coming..."
SCREAMING WITNESS -- Tripp's been writing new material with fellow screamers Alex Gibson and Stuart Davis. Stay tuned to Screaming Witness' site for more details.
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AS A GIRL? -- We want to send out the most bodacious of congratulations to our good buddy Stuart Davis and his wife Marci...their little boddhisattva arrived monday afternoon (9/15). Ara Belle Davis is doing fine as is her beautiful, radiant mother. This is wonderful news.
SUMMERTIME STUFF -- Check out the pics on Stuart Davis' site from the recent recording sessions in LA. The captions are worth every minute of it. The mixes are finished and the record should be out in late September. Screaming Witness.com (which is Alex Gibson, Stuart Davis and Tripp Lanier collectively) is also up and running.
IT'S BEEN TOO LONG -- Sorry for the delay...sorry, sorry, sorry. What's been up? Well, Tripp has been coproducing Stuart Davis' new record with Alex Gibson out in Los Angeles. It's been quite a change being behind the console or with a bass guitar on his body. There are also songs being developed for Screaming Witness; which is Alex, Stuart and Tripp collectively. Be on the lookout for Stuart's new record in September featuring Tripp on bass and backing vocals.
So what about Hank Madison? The boys are discussing plans for upcoming shows at this time. Stay tuned.
OTHER BIG NEWS -- As most of you know, Aquil had some of the sh*ttiest equipment in the music biz. We want to send our most heartfelt farewells to his stack of crap amp (aka R2-D2) and the pathetic case for his 4-string (held miraculously together by one latch for the past three years). Both were recently retired/upgraded.
BE THE SKY IS NOW AVAILABLE!!!! -- Head to the be the sky section to download ALL of the new songs or you can purchase the CD online for $10 (includes shipping).
PICS FROM KING'S X SHOW -- Head on over to the images section to see some pics from the recent HM/King's X show.
SIDE PROJECTS -- Aquil and Jack are experimenting with samplers, drum machines, and their respective instruments on a new side project. And Tripp is collaborating with Alex Gibson and Stuart Davis on a recording project called Screaming Witness. Stay tuned.
THANKS!!! -- We want to thank everyone who came out in time to catch our set opening for King's X. We made some new friends and visited with some old ones...members from other bands in attendance (like IM, Big Dismal, and New Address) showed their support, too. Stay tuned for pics!
WAR ANYONE? -- From Tripp: "I normally step aside when it comes to worldview bashing, but I think this short paper from Wilber shines a much needed light onto the current world situation. We've got a real problem here: dictators performing atrocities, countries looking the other way because "war is a bad thing", and American leadership believing that we can just drop democracy on countries that are too socially underdeveloped to maintain one. For some educated and balanced rhetoric click here."
BE THE SKY IS NOW AVAILABLE!!!! -- Head to the be the sky section to download ALL of the new songs. If you're holding out for a disc, you'll have to wait until mid-may. Be sure to check out the lyrics, contexts and liner notes.
HANK GOES ACOUSTIC? -- "I just threw it together the other night," says tripp. He's talking about an acoustic version of the new HM song, "we are the ones." Download it here.
HANK MADISON WITH KING'S X -- Hank Madison will be opening up for King's X at Floyd's on May 2nd. Hopefully King's X won't sue HM for rippin' them off all of these years.
King's X w/Hank Madison
Friday May 2nd
Floyd's Music Store in Tallahassee
WHAT'S UP WITH THE RECORD? -- The mixes are final and off to mastering. The artwork is being finalized and that means only a few weeks away from release.
Here's the track listing:
fireball, testimony, we are the ones, invisible girls, gun, arrested, do to me, pig, cycle, and satellite=sky.
We'll be posting lyrics and contexts very soon. Check back often.
WELCOME TO THE NEW SITE! -- Even though we've taken a break from gigging, things are chugging along.
FREE MUSIC -- The music section has mp3 files from ALL of our records...FOR FREE. Our gift to you...enjoy.
NEW FEATURES -- Explore the site, there's quite a bit of new stuff. The MUSIC section had the biggest overhaul, with more mp3 files, lyrics, and a short bit of background info on each song from Tripp. Hit the CONTEXT buttons for that stuff.
NEW HM RECORD? -- The new record is finally being mixed. Just a couple more songs to go followed by mastering and then we'll have it available here on the site. Stay tuned.
How does it sound? It's very cool...the band is showing a lot of growth in their songwriting and most of the songs feature rich harmonies and a variety of textures.
