Neverend Release Saturday Sept. 27th
(9/17/2008)
Mark it on your calendars. Call a buddy, bring a friend. We will be releasing our long-awaited debut CD "Neverend" at the Oregon Express Saturday, September 27th. The show starts at 10 p.m. and The Winter Sounds and Look Mexico will be performing as well.
We will be performing songs from the CD, as well as some new material we've been working on. And of course we will have the CDs there for sale, along with some t-shirts. So come on out and enjoy the show.
If you happen to be near Nashville, or near your computer, tune in to WRVU 91.1 FM between 9 - 11 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 17th, to catch them spinning tracks from "Neverend."

murmur lives!

Hello! How’ve you been? It’s been about a year, well, looks like you haven’t changed a bit.
I like the thing you’re doing with your hair, what kind of hair gel is that?
We here at Murmur have been through a lot. Chad got a new place (and is working on his studio, very exciting), Tim had a son, Sam and Nakesha got engaged (to each other, no less), and I’m about to start my fifth and final job and move into someplace I won’t have to move out of in 6 months. What can I say? Life is grand.
Amidst everything, we have managed to practice, write some new songs, and (are you sitting down?), make our CD! It looks great, sounds awesome, and it will be yours. It’s cooler than Fonzie jumping the shark and smoother than trying to get to first base at a Michael Buble concert. CD release party will be soon, so clear your calendar, and we’ll keep in touch.
It was nice talking to you, you look great… you really do.

Thanks Bob!

Well, the Guided By Voices Tribute at Southgate House was a resounding success. Thanks to all of you that came out to support the bands and the charity. We had a great time getting to play some of our favorite GBV songs to an appreciative audience and got to hear some other bands blast out more of our favorite songs.
Perhaps the sweetest part (and a bit intimidating) was the fact that Robert Pollard himself was there, watching over us and all the other bands as we played his songs. Word is that he enjoyed it as well.
You can check out some pictures from the show here and if you look closely, you can spot Bob in the balcony above the stage. And don't forget to stop by the site to keep up with all the news. You can also subscribe to the mailing list if you're too lazy to even check a website.
Peace

The Midpoint Music Festival show went great, and we got a nice write-up in the MPMF edition of CityBeat magazine. We're also featured in the print edition of this week's Cin Weekly as well.
Here is what the nice people at CityBeat had to say:
"Making chiming, honey-dripped Pop Rock that is alternately tranquil and nervous, this Dayton quintet has had a lot of drama in just three short years of existence. Spinal Tap-worthy drummer rotation? Check. Near total loss of all musical gear and recording equipment? Oh yeah (though most property and, more importantly, recordings were salvaged).
Dig It: Toad the Wet Sprocket reborn as The Shins"
Thanks Mike Breen, we love TTWS and The Shins references.
Midpoint Music Festival
(9/5/2007)
murmur will be playing the Midpoint Music Festival in Cincinnati on September 27th. We are playing at the Speakeasy and go on at midnight.
Don't worry about the time though, there are a ton of great bands playing, so there is plenty to see. In fact, Superdrag will be playing earlier that evening, so you have time to check them out and then come on over and get your fill of the murm'.
Don't Fret
(8/16/2007)
If you haven't heard, our upcoming shows at Walnut Hills and Dirty Jack's got canceled, one due to change in ownership, other due to a booking conflict. Don't worry though, we're not breaking up and we're working on booking some shows for next month.
On a up note, we've updated the video podcast. You can check it out at our podcasts link to the right or on iTunes. We've also added some photos in our gallery section.
Peace

murmur @ the Pearl Nightclub

August is national murmur month
(7/16/2007)
Just call us butter, 'cause we're on a roll. We've got a great couple months lined up for July and August with nearly a show a week.
The fun begins Thursday, July 26th at The Pearl. This will be our first show with our new drummer Dave Pope, so be there so you can tell your kids about it.
If you didn't get your weekly recommended dose of murmur from that, come out to the Oregon Express on Saturday July 28th and enjoy good music and good pizza.
It's deja vu all over again when murmur strikes back at the Oregon Express on Saturday, August 11th.
UD students can rock in another semester with murmur on Saturday, August 18th at Walnut Hills (on Brown Street).
Not even Cincinnati is safe from the murmur freight train. We roll on down to Cincy and hit Dirty Jacks on Saturday, August 25th.
So come one, come all and enjoy the shows. Who knows, we might even give a prize to any murmur fan that makes it to all five shows.
