Sounds Like
The sound of Song Sparrow Research can be vaguely related to the solution of this math equation: Jeff Buckley X Mogwai + Neil Young ÷ Pink Floyd
Catch Song Sparrow Research at your local metal-working warehouse recording nine minute songs now, while you still can! Now, here are pictures of David, Hamilton and Nash, respectively, playing something other than their primary instrument:
Great show last night! Hope to catch you guys again. Also check out these guys, your sound made me think of them, maybe you'll enjoy them as well. www. myspace. com/autumnchorus. Thanks for add! Arthur.
grant n green saloon, huh? so you guys officially have approval to crash on team cesar chavez's floor (or the couches/my futon/bed)for two days. what days will you need a roof and a cozy floor?
Thanks for the compliments on the changed tunes. They were recorded early last year, i'm just too lazy sometimes to finish stuff, so you know, nothing real ever materialized with the recordings.
What!? I thought we were officially a couple!! Just Kidding. Not even sure who wrote that comment. Ham? Nash? David? Anyways, y'all MUST come to San Francisco! Yesssssss.
fancy seeing ME? fancy seeing YOU! how's it goin'? i'm gonna try to make it out to chris' tonight but my man gets off work at 11 and then has to be back at 7, so i'm not sure yet. hopefully though!
you guys really blew us away with that set, I think you should do some more of that um, stuff, in the future. It was really beautiful, one of the best sets ever.
happy birthday again hamilton! we owe you a drink!
Thanks a lot! It means a lot to know that people liked our live stuff, because there's no way for us to know and we work pretty hard on it.
I'm really enjoying your songs. If I had known I would have made myself stay for longer, but we'd been really busy this week and were excited to get home early. We'll have to play another show together soon. Let us know if there's any shows you'd like us to play with you!
Yo...you should check out the band Cryptacize...they're in my top friends. They're Chris and Nedelle from the Curtains with a new drummer. They're playing in Seattle on July 9th if you want to check them out. Just thought you ought to know.
The party we we're supposed to go to got cancelled in the last moment, so we (and the other 100 people who came by to Erez's house...) got some vodka instead & had a great time! ;)
