From Comet to Calm NOW AVAILABLE
Posted by tyler | Filed under Uncategorized
Hey everyone,
I know it’s been a while. And I know I said I’d be better at blogging. And I know that I haven’t been. And I know you probably hate me now. But you know what else I know?….I know that our album, From Comet to Calm is HERE! and because I’ve always loved you unconditionally, I want you to know about what we plan on doing with this little guy. On September 12, 2009, you can get From Comet to Calm for 50% off if you come to Birdy’s and let us rock your face off. That’s it. That’s the deal. You come watchus play, and we give you the album for half price! We want to celebrate this album’s release with you after six long months of waiting and revising, and it evolving into what it is today. We’re very proud of the finished product and can’t wait for you to hear it. So here’s the layout for September 12….
You come around 9:00 to see opening bands. At about 10:40, we’ll go on and play the entire album live. You buy the cd for 50% off and we’re all happy! Let’s do this.
If you’re not 21, then the Birdy’s show is not for you. BUT – we’ll have an all ages show on September 26 @ The Warehouse in Carmel where you’ll be able to get FCtC!
Itunes will have FCtC in a few weeks, but for now, if you’d rather buy it online, you can go here – Click here to buy From Comet to Calm.
later,

This week in Bender Band
Posted by tyler | Filed under Uncategorized
I’m tired of Facebook events….but they’re effective, and I’ll probably bow before them again by the end of the week. But for now, I want to post what I’d say there, here.
Come to Birdy’s on Wednesday night starting at 9:00. I’m doing a solo acoustic show. Amy Duke is also playing. I haven’t done a solo show in quite a while, and don’t know when the next one will be, so for all you people who ask me why I don’t do more solo shows, I expect to see you there. I know it’s a week night and people around Indianapolis complain about that for some reason, but what else are you going to do? You’ll be awake until 11-12 anyways. Head to Birdy’s.
Saturday the band is playing at MoJoe’s Coffeehouse downtown. It’s for a benefit show, so it’s all ages (calling all minors….)…I think the show starts at 8. I’d tell you more details, but those are the only ones I know right now.

April Show-ers
Posted by tyler | Filed under Uncategorized
Last night we had our first show in months. We competed in a battle of the bands contest down at the Hard Rock downtown Indy. We didn’t win. I didn’t even check to see where we stood with the judges since only one band can move on. Congratulations to Henry French and the Shameless, the winners of last night’s contest. They’ll be competing against The Last Good Year next week to see whose video will go on hardrockcafe.com. So if you’re a fan of local Indianapolis music, go to the hard rock website in a few weeks and vote for one of those bands.
Like I said, it was our first show in a few months, and we had what seemed to be the biggest and loudest turnout out of all the bands. I think we performed well, but my only judgment came from the crowd reaction since I couldn’t hear anything on stage at all. The one band (us) who got a sound check sounded like someone was mixing our stage mix with their feet.
As soon as I saw who the judges were, I thought the writing might have been on the wall for us. No need to have a pop rock band threaten the Hard Rock image of the sponsor.
I do want to thank the Hard Rock Cafe and Mark Dubec for giving us the opportunity to be a part of a great opportunity. They were great to us all night with the free beer and food revolving door all night.Very hospitable. Thanks to everyone who showed up to watch us play. It’s good knowing that we’re still worth seeing (even though it was free) after taking some time off.
All in all, it was a good night. Good people showed up, and I think I speak for everyone in the band that it was a good “return” for the band – even though we didn’t win.
Next up: I’m playing a solo show at Birdy’s on Wed April 15 with Amy Duke. So come out and watch us.
April 18 – We’re playing a benefit show at MoJoe’s Coffehouse in Indy.
See you then,
