Fans?..they released a pretty well received album last year in "Mercy" and their other 2 albums are also favorites of mine, especially "Distorted Lullabies."

Well a new album from them and solo record from Jimmy Gnecco is anticipated for 2009 as well.

But in the mean time, a couple of cool things have popped up of late about them.

check this out. "Ran Away To Tell the World" was used on the CBS show NCIS last night.

And for People who dig the director of the recent Ours videos, Michael Maxxis, and the band of course might be interested in the fact

https://communities.canada.com/edmontonjournal/blogs/pluggedin/archive/2009/04/21 /david-carradine-challenges-you.aspx

Jimmy Gnecco is going to be starring in an 8minute short film directed by Maxxis and also starring David Carradine!

saw them open for Marilyn Manson, they were decent as far as i remember, should check them out again though.

I just checked them out a month ago. Acquired their album Mercy, pretty good stuff overall. The first track gets to me the most, and great production too. Rick Rubin right?

yeah, Rick Rubin did produce their last album (technically, he really didn't do all that much actually).

they did open for Manson last year, but I can't stress enough how much better and different it is seeing them HEADLINE when they can play the surreal, trippy jams to some of their songs. Hell, I PERSONALLY JOINED THEM ON STAGE TO PLAY DRUMS FOR 1 SONG .

https://tinyurl.com/5prm6w

but that NEVER would have happened if they were opening for Manson, Blue October, Circa Survive, or anyone else.

2 of the 2 hours+ headlining shows they played in Minnesota the last couple of years were 2 of the greatest concert experiences of my life, no question.

Same here, I wasn't impressed. I remember thinking Ours is what would happen if U2 and Stabbing Westward had a love child.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #6 on:** May 09, 2009, 11:17:24 AM »

Stabbing Westward, lol..that band sucks.

Until you claim to have seen them HEADLINE, your opinion to me about their live shows is MOOT. It's not even close to the same thing.

Hello…
Category: Uncategorized / Tag: bright antenna, european tour, jimmy gnecco, ours / Add Comment

God, it’s been years since I’ve taken the time to write an entry in a private or public diary. The last years have passed like days. It seems like the days and years get shorter and shorter as life goes on. I’m just spending a few days unwinding from an intense recording and touring schedule that I’ve kept. I need a moment to take in all that has happened in life. I am deeply saddened by the passing of Michael Jackson, and David Carradine, plus a family pet.

On a different note, I have finally recorded a solo record that I have been putting off for years. What an amazing process. I signed a deal with a new small label called Bright Antenna, and so far it feels like we have accomplished certain goals that we have been working towards for years. As of now, I’ve completed fifteen songs. These songs and recordings have beyond exceeded what I had hoped for, which is rare for me. I played all of the instruments and produced this one myself, so it was a really liberating, fun process.

In addition to a new label, I have hired new management, a new agent, and a publicist. If you’re reading this than you probably know that I’m finally going to Europe, finally. This is something that we’ve tried to do for years, but have never had the support to do. No shows in Italy, Spain, Australia, or France yet, but we will do all we can to change that as well.

A note to any European fans…I plan on playing a few Ours songs as well, so if there are any specific ones that you would like to hear, just let me know.

I’m going to write entries in this diary as much as I can. In the meantime, thank you all for your love over the years. I hope that life is treating you all well. We go around one time. Make it the best it can be. You all deserve it.

Much Love,
Jimmy

Album coming soon on Bright Antenna

than why are you still posting in this thread?

brakkum · « **Reply #11 on:** July 12, 2009, 07:03:27 PM »

?? i was referring to asking the other dude what made Ours headlining different from opening, I mean no disrespect. they were pretty good when I saw them open, if something actually does make them somehow better headlining I would probably check them out.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #12 on:** July 12, 2009, 07:21:04 PM »

Brakkum,
Sorry, I may have misread your post's direction. You were talking to LeeHarveyKer?

But nobody else in this topic has mentioned the headlining thing vs the opening thing besides me.

But I was bumping this topic, primarily to pass the news about Jimmy Gnecco's new solo album. For the fans out there, live and studio, it's something to look forward to I would think.

Fluffy Lothario · « **Reply #13 on:** July 12, 2009, 11:19:44 PM »

I still haven't heard Mercy, but I got their first two albums for a dollar each. Distorted Lullabies was good, Precious was average.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #14 on:** July 13, 2009, 03:23:46 AM »

Precious isn't as good as Distorted Lullabies. Mercy, is by some, better than both. Personally, DL is one of my favorite albums of all-time. I've played it to death over the last 4 years. But Mercy, from last year, was more of what Ours sound like now anyway.

Precious, however, over some time, has grown on me a lot. It still has a couple of tracks I don't love, but given the way it was rushed to come out, and how the band themselves were not all that happy with it, even putting a cover song (The Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale") which was entirely done based on pressure from the record label at the time. It still has it's value, and like many cases, when you enjoy a band, their worst work can often have reason for revisiting.

Fluffy Lothario · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2009, 04:53:34 AM »

Precious did have some tracks I really enjoyed (I still have Realize, Leaves, Disaster in a Halo and Red Coloured Stars), but a lot seemed filler-ish.

Whereas Distorted Lullabies is pretty good start to finish, and the first half is REALLY good.

Looking forward to listening to this today. Ours is a little hit and miss for me. At their best they are fantastic, but they're often just OK.

EDIT: After first listen, I am definitely liking this album. One of their best. It'll take a few more listens to know for sure where it falls.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #30 on:** March 20, 2020, 06:12:01 PM »

I think this is likely my favorite/their best record since Mercy.

It just as so many deeply moving, emotional, layered tracks.,

Hello Friends,

We’d like to announce that on May 15th, the 20th anniversary of the release of Distorted Lullabies, we will be releasing what was to be Spectacular Sight but has evolved into the self-titled album OURS. The album will consist of 3 chapters: The Towering Garden, Azurite, and Spectacular Sight.

We will also be releasing an EP titled The Bella Fall. This EP takes place between the Ballet the Boxer and New Age Heroine albums.

In addition, we will also be re-releasing newly mastered versions of Ballet the Boxer and New Age Heroine to match the sonic integrity of this final record in the series.

To those of you who have pre-ordered Spectacular Sight, which is now titled OURS, you’ll receive your order before May 15th as well as a digital download link. As a sign of our appreciation, we will also send you a link to download The Bella Fall for free as we have for New Age Heroine and Media Age.

Again, we thank you for your patience and support.
