Exit 380 on "Kelsey Grammer Live" HD TV Show TONIGHT



I'll be doing a call-in interview tonight from 9-11pm (Central Time) to the Los Angeles based TODHD / On-Demand Tv show "Kelsey Grammer Live". It is setup so that the audience can chime into the host via the todhd.com chatroom to ask questions to the various guests. This broadcast will be featured by Impulse Magazine for Men and I am assuming they'll be asking me about manly magazine type things (i.e. colognes, v-necks, and leather shoes). Also, Exit 380 should be tied in there too.

So, click up, log on, fire up a DVR or web in your phone tonight and let's see what happens.

Last Week to DONATE TO DOWNLOAD "Moonshiner Run" for ASCC Now!

Thanks to all who have already supported Artists Supporting Cure For Cancer Now by downloading "Moonshiner Run"! ASCC Now is closing up the digital shop on the track this week, so if you haven't grabbed it yet, then this will be your last chance as the band won't be re-releasing the song for purchase until it is physically pressed with the full length Townies.

Press Clips (ASCC Now) Donate To Download:
Dallas Observer's Music Editor Pete Freedman posted an article for the program and even commented on the track via-DC9 At Night saying, "The song...is among the best offerings we've yet heard from the band."
DFW.com Pop Music Critic Preston Jones also contributed to the cause by posting this in their Music Blog.


Video Sidenote:
Exit 380 wrapped shooting for the "Moonshiner Run" video last weekend in Fort Worth and we are excited about this one. It was filmed by James Villa, one of the most talented local photographers, and initial rough cuts of the footage have looked great! So, we will have a video release to stream online in the coming weeks!

HD Net Music Discovery Television series has been airing our "Alexander Stone" and "Run For The Gold" alongside some great national and local DFW artists, so set your DVR and perhaps "Moonshiner Run" will make an on-air debut in the near future.

Shooting "Moonshiner Run" Video & Lyrics

This weekend the band will be celebrating Patriot Day by linking up w/ our favorite photographer James Villa to shoot a live action concept video for our newest Townies track "Moonshiner Run". Villa's still photography has been integral over the last few years to our visual presentations; (see below) "The Broken House Session", "The Life & Death Of Mr. & Mrs. Alexander Stone", "Guillitine Clothing", and "Cities Townies", as well as, various live shots from DFW venues. So, we're excited to see how his art will translate onto a moving picture!


We'll be shooting the scenes in and around the Stockyards and Downtown Fort Worth hoping some Cowtown flavor will drip onto the final cut. It should be ready for posting in the next couple of weeks...Stay tuned!

LYRICS: "Moonshiner Run"

Get a move on boy!
Them feet they move like stone.
Don't ya drop that jug.
Johnny Law's among us....

Moonshiner run. Don't ya leave that gun.

Runnin', runnin', runnin' through the swamps and fields.
You know we're runnin', runnin', runnin' through the trees and hills.

Get a move on boy!
It's time to leave them toys.
Ma won't feed ya son.
If you don't get to Mount Glenn...

Moonshiner run. Don't ya leave that gun.
Ya need to trust me son.
For this Moonshiner Run.

Runnin', runnin', runnin' through the swamps and fields.
You know we're runnin', runnin', runnin' through the trees and hills.
Come on "faster, faster, faster" till ya come unhinged.
Ya know "come on, come on" two more miles to go.

Moonshiner run. Don't ya leave that gun.
Ya need to trust me son.
For this Moonshiner Run.

ASCC Now Releases "MOONSHINER RUN"




-- Wednesday Aug. 18th "Moonshiner Run" Release --


Tomorrow Exit 380 releases a new Townies track called "MOONSHINER RUN". The song will only be available ONLINE for Artists Supporting a Cure for Cancer Now *ASCC Now* DONATE TO DOWNLOAD Program!

We originally recorded the song as a precursor to "Daddy Was A Freight Train" on the Cities Townies EP, and followed up with new sessions on this track for a full length Townies album (release tentative for early 2011). Once again we hit the big red button ourselves at Ab Studios in Fort Worth and we believe that our tracking has improved with each foray into the mixer!

Sidenote: We are going through a script for a concept video for this single; looking at a shoot time around early September. So, keep your YouTube eyes peeled.

The band is excited that this small project is going to such a worthy cause for ASCC Now and we hope that you participate by purchasing the song tomorrow! Also, we hope that you enjoy the new tune.

Going Old School...kinda.

THURSDAY NIGHT (7/22) ORIGINAL MUSIC SERIES @ 8.0's:

Way back when in the olden days of our earliest beginnings of Exit 380 (early 2000's) we would run only at a few venues; mainly in Fort Worth & Denton. Tomorrow night we'll be visiting one of our old Funkytown haunts @ 8.0's in downtown.

The bar/restaurant/live music/outdoor patio has changed quite a bit over time, in terms of lighting and stage, but some of my fondest memories of those early years would have to be filed under the old downtown Pourhouse & 8.0's. The starkest contrast from then to now will have to come in the form of tomorrow night's event being an ORIGINAL MUSIC SERIES, as it was once hosted as a "play all night with cover tunes" type of venue.

Jonny The Saint will be opening the night @ 7pm, and Exit 380 hits the stage @ 9pm sharp. 21+, only $5 cover.
Website: www.eightobar.com

We hope to see some of those old schoolers reveling about on that brick laden patio tomorrow. And if you haven't seen us since circa 2000, then perhaps we'll be able to show you a bit of growth.

Another Busy Week!!


Where to begin...let's start from last Wednesday after the FW Weekly nomination post.

Friday:
E3 played Lola's (amazing staff by the way) in Funkytown for a Cystic Fibrosis Benefit and it went off great! Boomin Gen Mills and Secret Ghost Champion were on their A-Game, and there was a good turnout w/ some very generous people in attendance (raising around $1200: nice job Marlo). When 2am came about some parking lot excitement ensued (sorry I can't expound), but I think Guillitine needs to get Ab a new grey shirt.

Saturday/Sunday/Monday:
The band went seperate ways for the Memorial Day Weekend.

Tuesday:
1002 emails and social pg things to catch up on. Among them 8 new bookings over the next two months (not all confirmed, but check www.exit380.org or our myspace for the new show dates. Basically, we confirmed on a AED benefit, a ASCC (cancer) benefit, the RBAR 11th Anniversary Party (feat. all us old UNT bands circa 2002), a couple of Fort Worth Music Co-op events, Six Flags Loud & Local, and a slot on the Fort Worth Weekly Music Awards Showcases.

Wednesday/Thursday:
Approval to have our music licensed in film, video games, advertisements, etc. Meetings set up w/ a few different mover/shakers to include such riveting topics as; an animated video for "Daddy Was A Freight Train", a live/studio footage video for "Moonshiner Run", promotion company from cali, Superbowl show(s) with some big timers, and some new record label people we haven't met yet.

Friday (tomorrow):
Ok, I am seeing into the future here. We're playing The Cavern on Lower Greenville, and we really enjoy the intimate atmosphere of the venue, so we'll be rolling in to do an acoustic performance (actually it's b/c Bobby couldn't get off work to bang the skins). Anyways, I'm going out on a limb to say it will be a killer time.
