ecstatic peace is going to be on MTV this Sunday night when BYOP sits down to trash emo with the host in that metallic "street" scene on Subterranean.

Holy shit, you should hear the cherry pie that's commin outta MV+EE and Bummer Road via ecstatic peace this fall. If zep 3 were a big bag of stink bud that you smoked 4 days in a row one summer, Green Blues is what you scraped off of that bowl a week later. I don't know what I'm fucking talking about but who doesn't love zep and pot? A good day for a motorcyle ride and photo shoot really which is why we can't stop looking at the new artist page that we built today using a shot that we took today. We didn't fight the moment and it didn't fight us.

Sunburned update coming soon...

Awesome Allison(pictured left) has sent some tour updates for you to check out on their page. Here's the latest:

dated 7/10:
The West Coast is blowing my mind- mountains to pine forests to desert, and that's just the landscapes. I hope we get to go to the beach today so I can live out my Beach Boys/surfer/good times fantasies. You know, meet up with the good-looking kids on the beach, ride around on motorbikes and hit the drag strip at sundown. Is LA really like that? I sure hope so but perhaps I'm a bit naive. I'll get rolled by some meth-heads when I ask them where Shakin' Street is at. Yeah right! Get your wheels ready for our invasion this fall, we are definitely shredding.
All- Righta, Allison

July 11, 2006

Tam's record release gig up in Montreal was killer. We know this because she sent us a DVD of the entire gig and also because she was so excited that she cancelled her gig at Tonic when she got home that night! Luckily, Alan was sympathetic and booked her again on August 14 so be sure to make that scene. Tam in New York will be heavy, no doubt. In the meantime, check this clip shot and edited by jason hendrik:

The Religious Knives are Mike and Maya of Double Leopards fame with Nate of the Mouthus Duo. Zodiac Mountain is James Wand, Clay Ruby(Davenport) and sometimes Keith Wood(Hush Arbours possibly in attendance) and is an example of what kind of rocking goes down when Jessica Wand goes to sleep. Gown is gown.

June 26, 2006

New website: Welcome to this new generation of ecstatic peace.com. Special thanks to Antonio and his crUe for being the code mongers that they are and for Jessi and Gown's assistance in making this thing come alive down the stretch. All complaints - design or otherwise - can be directed at uh.. me. Improvements and additions will continue but we're still just a few rats on a wheel up here.

New Web store: Yeah, take note. Some good stuff new and old. Look for TYFUS skateboards, Ecstatic Peace T shirts, and a ton of sick sounds from our label and others.

Direct Sales: We are selling directly to stores now. Stores that are interested in learning more should email directsales@ecstaticpeace.com and we'll fill you in.

Fresh Vids: In an effort to compensate for the recent drought on our part, we're going to do all we can to lay a steady flow of vid on the site. Thanks to shooters around the world(moloney,jef,etc ) that have supplemented our archive with their own work. We hope to build a tool that will make that process even easier as well. Anyway, here is some recent stuff from 'round these parts. No real introduction is neccessary, just dig it all.
