analecta

an·a·lec·ta (n-lkt) pl.n. selections from or parts of a literary work or group of works. often used as a title. n. a two piece experimental post-rock band from south bend, indiana ---------------------------------------------------- analecta is an effort to create artistic, inventive music in the vein of instrumental post-rock and post-metal drawing on the collective minds of Calvin Maloney, Kevin Kingery, and Patrick Quigley. Previous experience in bands like doctor!doctor! and Sleep Patterns have brought members together to push each other to grow musically and professionally as artists. In the more than 30 shows within its first six months of existence, analecta has had the pleasure to play with bands such as Native; Paucity; Koji; If These Trees Could Talk; Mose Giganticus; Listener; Sohns; Deadhorse; The Reptilian; Into it, Over it; and many more very talented local and regional musicians. Analecta invites you to come experience moving, modern music created live with feeling and exploration from the comforts of traditional post-rock to the outer reaches of non-traditional instrumentation, electronics, textures, and sounds. ask us anything Shows

Voices From Another World (For Tesla, Lost In Colorado), by analecta

2 track album

We are bad at using of the tumblr, but... GUESS WHAT!?  we have a new release.  It’s a song we recorded back in November with Mike Kenway.  The hold up has been ... getting the second track finished.  As of 4:10 this morning... that track was ready to go. So here’s our new single.  Also? AUDIOFEED IS THIS WEEK! We’ll be playing saturday afternoon, and we are very stoked on it.

Today we woke up to the news of the largest mass shooting in US history. A massive tragedy. A crime targeting the LGBTQ community specifically. Our hearts are with the families of the victims in Orlando, with the survivors.

But before you say "there's nothing I can do," there is. In the immediate future? Give Blood.

Long term? It's bigotry and hate speech and rhetoric that demeans our fellow humans that led to this. And that is something we can fight against. Educate, elect leaders who actually will fight for equality, don't stand by when jokes or insults are hurled at the expense of someone in a minority group. (be that ethnicity, religion,sexuality or gender.) This isn't something that will pass overnight. But if we turn away and pretend it doesn't exist, this will only get worse. We MUST take an active roll to fight against this EVER happening again. Our fight is not with weapons, but with words and actions.

We have been talking for a while about doing some merch for something. We finally decided on self screening some button down plaid shirts to raise money to send to the Ali Forney Center in NYC. 

The Ali Forney Center is a shelter for homeless LGBTQ youth. They provide a safe place for disenfranchised youth who have been driven out by their families because of their gender or their orientations.

We will have these shirts available as soon as possible, but we still need to make the screens for them first, as we will be printing them ourselves. They will be $15.

These shirts are now available online! We have sold a decent number of them, but will continue making them to order, with the money still going to the Ali Forney Center.

These are our next two shows. (Summer is a busy time for work for us, so we can’t play that often, since one of us is all over the place during the summer) Sounds by South Bend is THIS WEEKEND. and we are playing early afternoon at The Well here in South Bend. Then, the weekend of July 4th, we’ll be playing with a bunch of awesome bands in Illinois for Audiofeed Festival.
