April : Wrote Songs

BEER SANDWICH
Daily reader, first time commenter, putting on my pimp hat…
My band is The Heat Exchange and we just finished our self-released, full-length debut, “Progress ruins everything, but what else is there?”. Here are some downloads from it:
Edith Came Quickly
Force of Nature
NAMSAC(No-one Appreciates My Smart-Ass Commentary)
Winter Lemmings
Our site is http://www.heatexchangemusic.com
* who do you sound like?
We bridge the gap between indie and classic rock, delivering high energy material with a dissonant blues groove. Think Built to Spill, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, The Black Keys, and The White Stripes and mix in some Hendrix, Cream and Zeppelin and you’re getting close.
* where are you playing?
Our next show is at The Monkey Pub on Sat, 9/15.
We just played the Central last week and did a cover for the first time - Led Zeppelin’s Celebration Day (ignoring your post of 7/10…). There’s a video of it on our home page:
http://www.heatexchangemusic.com along with one of our song Force of Nature.
And I forgot…
*who do you like:
All the bands above, obviously, really digging the new Ted Leo album. Also liking The Thermals, The Cops, Cold War Kids, and lots of jazz lately (Mingus, Art Blakely, Coleman Hawkins), and back on a Beatles kick too.

We are the Lund Bros. Two of us are brothers, one is not. We play pop rock, not power pop, but who’s counting? This weekend we have two shows.
1. Friday August 24th at the 4th Ave Tavern in Olympia.
2. Monday August 27th at the Sunset Tavern in Ballard.
Come to both, win a prize!*
We are in the process of putting together our next record. Look for it within the next 30 years or so.
We sound like Cheap Trick, Beatles, Badfinger, Raspberries, Queen, and bands of that vein. We sing a lot and self-gratify with lots of chops and riffs.
It’s fun to play in this band.
Seattle bands we like: Young Sportsmen, Tripwires, the ever-AWESOME Llama. Can’t forget Girl Trouble, Paul Lynde Fan Club, Twink and RBB, and many many more.
* actually, there is no prize!
Right back at ya, Lund Bros.
