CANASTA - Tonight @ Sub-T w/ Everest + Music Video: Extras Needed + AllMusic Review!

(sent on 2011-03-31)

Ten-hut, rock soldiers!

TONIGHT: 17+ EARLY SHOW @ SUB-T W/ EVEREST!
As of late, WXRT has been head-over-heels in love with L.A.’s Everest and their song, “Let Go” (video below). And we both know there’s only one way to exorcise this dangerously catchy number from your head and that’s to see it played live and in person tonight at Sub-T. Lucky for you, Canasta’s supporting the show. It’s an early one though - we’re first of two at 7:30 - so if you’re at work now, you’ll need to start making plans ASAP. Make it happen! Following the two laid-back gigs we’ve played locally recently, you better believe we’ll be coming out swinging tonight...

EXTRAS NEEDED: "MEXICO CITY" MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT - SAT. 4/16 & SUN. 4/17!
The exact times and locations are still being worked out, so we’ll be in touch again soon... But if you’ve got any love for our upcoming single, “Mexico City,” then you’ve got to come out and help us film the music video on Fri. and Sat., 4/16 and 17. Our insanely talented director, Eduardo Cintron, has his ambitious vision entirely mapped out, so we know our baby’s in good hands. To get a feel for what he’s got in store, here’s another look at the quick video he did for "Appreciation," assembled from soundcheck footage at the Old Town School last month...

ALLMUSIC.COM’S GLOWING REVIEW!
If you ask us, the most critically reliable website for music reviews is AllMusic.com. So we were honored that one of its finest writers, Ned Raggett, once again chose to review our album (and quite enthuisastically, I might add). If you’re curious, here’s the full review, but for starters, check out some highlights: “an hour-long collection that deftly balances between being very much of its time and place and carving out something individual at the same time. From the beginning, with the lengthy ’Becoming You’ there’s a sense that the band’s ever more comfortable with the big and dramatic... But whether it’s the slower builds or the sense of brisk focus instead of huge arena-aimed stomps, Canasta don’t go over the edge... It’s a good omen for the remainder of the album, with the spiky massed vocal moments from their first album echoing here; the lead instrumentation changing on a dime between guitars and pianos and whatever else, and the rhythm section kicking along... The whole band has a great ear for performances that complement each other’s work and provides the icing on the cake.”
