The Alien Child's Band

Well, the Alien Child has put a band together (I believe they got together in January--a really short time!), and they are now one of eight semifinalists in the Battle of the Bands competition sponsored by Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. The judging is done by both professional musicians and the audience.

He doesn't like the recording quality of the music posted on the band's MySpace page, but it does at least show what his band's created...which I think is pretty good. The singer is Kyle, who is the Alien Child's next door neighbor and friend, and they have been collaborating on songs. "Yellow Ribbon" is Kyle's lyrical and musical composition. As time goes on, I expect they'll put more music up on their MySpace page.

Oh, and if you go there and want to post something on their page, DON'T say I sent you, because he doesn't want people to think that the band is okay with anything less than a good recording. But that's all they could pull together in a short time. It still got them into the semifinals of the competition, so that says something.

But seriously, bands and writers need to market themselves.

So if you're anywhere near Pullman, Washington on April 10, 2009 (concert begins at 7 pm), go to the Compton Union Building on the campus of Washington State University and vote for your favorite band (I hope it's the United State of Mind). :-)
