Another New Streetlight Print

Ian — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:27:48 +0000

A 6th print was added to the RISC store today, this time showing the art from the Streetlight “Silhouette” shirt. It’s the same size and price (9″ x 22″, $8) as the last two, but is in a smaller run of 200.

Smiles for Macavity and Rules of the Game Booklets Scanned

Ian — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:12:25 +0000

A user on LiveJournal was kind enough to upload scans of the booklets of both Smiles for Macavity and Rules of the Game (scans of RotG were uploaded a while ago but I forgot to post about them and they were of poorer quality). The booklets have quite a few interesting bits of info in them, especially SfM, which includes the line-up, song titles showing that the mp3s drifting around for years have two mistakes, as well as partial lyrics which I’ve used to slightly improve the ones we have on here, though they are still pretty incomplete.
The scans can be found on the Miscellaneous Downloads page along with cleaned up versions of the covers, and I’d like to thank Logan on the forum for bringing this to the attention of everyone as these have been available for a month now without anyone noticing.

Streetlight Manifesto Launch International Site

Ian — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:29:45 +0000

This week’s Streetlight updated revealed a new international site for non–English-speaking people who are new to the band. As well as a short introductory description in several languages the site features 3 full downloadable tracks from each of their albums (yes, that includes Keasbey) and a link to the HD video for “We Will Fall Together” to serve as an introduction to their music. While the site features 13 languages currently (including English) they are keen to get more, particularly Chinese, Croatian, Finnish, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, and Swedish, so if you know any of those languages (or any others that aren’t available) and feel like helping them out feel free to translate it and e-mail them.

Also the poster for the upcoming 4 Out of 7 in 3 Before 9 tour was posted on the Pentimento site last week.

“We Will Fall Together” HD Video and Last 4OO7I3B9 Leg One Date Posted

Ian — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:17:45 +0000

The Streetlight Manifesto site was updated today with a link to the long-awaited high-definition version of the “We Will Fall Together” video. They also revealed the show on 14th October on the first leg of the 4OO7I3B9 tour, which is at the Sokol Underground in Omaha, Nebraska.

Another possible update later today was hinted at, dependent on someone [getting] their act together.

Team Streetlight to Launch Soon; Will Give Out Guest List Spots

Ian — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:19:39 +0000

Streetlight have posted their weekly update, this one concerning Team Streetlight. It’s rather long so you can head over to the site if you want to read it but the main points are that the Team Streetlight site should be live soon and you can sign up on the Streetlight Manifesto e-list to be notified, plus once it is active one of its functions will be to offer 3 guest list spots to Team Streetlight members for each show.

A couple of changes to the SM site last week that weren’t previously posted are the addition of ticket links for most of the US shows and some of the UK ones, as well as the posting of the FAQ section, which is worth checking out.

Pentimento Site Launches as Promised

Ian — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:38:29 +0000

While it was a little last minute, the new Pentimento site went up yesterday as promised. Not much content at the moment: a news post with some info about Pentimento and promises of lots of records and other projects in the pipeline, and lots of updates to come; bios for each of the current PMC roster of Dan Potthast, The Stitch Up, Streetlight Manifesto, and Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution; and a flash player to listen to several of the artists’ tracks, as well as a free downloadable mp3 of the Dan Potthast song “Fan”.

Two New Prints on RISC Store

Ian — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 18:29:30 +0000

Two new prints have been added to the RISC store, both of which should look familiar if you have ever seen the red Streetlight “Stereo” t-shirt. Both of them cost $8.00, are two-colour screen prints, and come signed and numbered out of 250 by the artist.

Streetlight to Update on Tuesdays, 2 More Shows Posted

Ian — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:06:40 +0000

The Streetlight site received yet another update today, the bulk of it regarding future updates:

We will try our best to post SM (and related) news primarily on Tuesdays. Throughout the week, randomly, we may post a blurb or two, but we’ll try our best to reserve the bigger stuff for the day after Monday (or late, late Monday night. Since we like to sleep in. You know, since we’re lazy, deadbeat no-good musicians and all. Don’t judge us. Shut up.) This way you know you can check in once a week for the most recent news. Or whatever.

On the tour front the main support for Leg One of 4OO7I3B9 is HiFi Handgrenades, and 2 new dates have been posted, in Cleveland, Ohio and Phoenix, Arizona.

They also mention the earlier Pentimento announcement (which will apparently involve more information about the elusive RISC) and link to their MySpace.

Pentimento Site to Launch on 15th July

Ian — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 10:21:57 +0000

The Pentimento site has been updated to show an image claiming the site will launch on 15th July 2008, just 7 days from now. While we all know how the RISC lot have been with promises, the fact that there is an actual date is rather encouraging.
