This Saturday, come see use with two bands I know very little about, but am excited to see nonetheless.

Co-Pilot are a post-rock band that, as we now do, splits membership between Houston and Austin. They’ve been around for at least four years, but they don’t play all that much, and haven’t released any recordings. That’s about to change, though, as they just finished tracking on their first full-length. According to their website, they spent more than a year just recording it. Let’s do a little math. . . we spent six days tracking Vocabularian Herds, so assuming that quality and length of post-production are linear functions of recording time, their new record will be more than 70 times as good as ours. Fortunately for us, it won’t be released until 2063, so we have some time to catch up. Read more about them in Space City Rock.

The Clouds Are Ghosts are an electronicish pop quintet from Austin.They just released their debut EP on the auspicious date of September 11. It looks like you can get it for free from their website in exchange for your immortal soul e-mail address. Judging from the samples on their myspace page, it sounds pretty great, and apparently their music impressed their producer so much that he joined the band, so that says something. Also noted on teh myspace- keyboardist Erin Fillingame is credited on the clavicle, so that should be exciting. I’ve heard of donating your body to science, but. . . I know, I’m being a smartass, but please don’t flame me, it’s just a little good-natured ribbing (har!).
