Just read an article on National Geographic delving into a theory that cats may think we are giant cats.  The article delves into cats' interactions with humans, and how they mirror cats' interactions with other cats.  Check it out here: http://bit.ly/1esT4zp . . . . . #albumrelease #photoshoot #music #musically #musicindustry #musicphotography #liveshow #musicband #singersongwriter #singers #songwriter #songwriters #rock #rocknroll #indie #indierock #electro #electronic #electrorock #nature #burningman #concert #wanderlust #liveperformance #musiclife #musicians #musicianlife #musiclovers #indiemusic #instacat (at San Francisco, California)

"By walking the fine line between being both politically charged and reflective, San Francisco’s The New Up are no stranger to writing songs full of meaning. Blending blissful electronic-pop and jagged alt-rock, the band led by guitarist/vocalists ES Pitcher and Noah Reid bring out a sound that’s accessible and poignant." Reflecting back on our interview with Vanyaland from last spring.  Check out the rest of the interview here: http://bit.ly/2vz2e2b . . 📷 @dv_in_sf // @vanyaland617 . . . . . #albumrelease #photoshoot #music #musically #musicindustry #musicphotography #liveshow #musicband #singersongwriter #singers #songwriter #songwriters #rock #rocknroll #indie #indierock #electro #electronic #electrorock #nature #burningman #concert #wanderlust #liveperformance #musiclife #musicians #musicianlife #musiclovers #indiemusic #ontheroad (at San Francisco, California)

"(Today!), a solar eclipse will cut across the entire United States. And wherever you are, you will be able to see it. Even though the “totality” — the area where the sun is completely blocked out by the moon — is only 70 miles wide, the whole country (even Alaska and Hawaii) will experience a partial eclipse." -Vox.com http://bit.ly/2tG6njO This is the first time since 1979 the "path of totality" of a solar eclipse will be visible in the US. It won't happen again for 2 decades. . . . . . #eclipse #solar #nature #science #nerdy #scienceiscool #eclipse2017 #music #festival #musicislife #singers #singersongwriters #theuniverse #cosmic #planetary #planet #indie #indierock #indiemusic #adventure #learning #knowledge #themoreyouknow #planets #musician #musicband #musically #musiclover #naturelover #explore

"The New Up knows a thing or two about bright synth and reverb friendly guitars, as they collide the charged moments of rock and electronica. Their strong sense of melody and versatile approach to indie-rock leave an indelible mark”.  An excerpt from the interview we did with New Noise Magazine back in May!

"The telescope, called the Murchison Widefield Array, is made up of thousands of antennas that see through celestial dust and detect “radio light”—revealing colors and objects in a spectrum not visible to humans, even with the aid of optical telescopes like Hubble. The result is a groundbreaking portrait of the entire southern sky. It exposes hundreds of thousands of galaxies millions of light-years away. And it shows in unobscured, blazing color the radio glow of the Milky Way, lit up with the remains of exploded stars and intense magnetic fields."  Read "Epic Picture Shows Thousands of Galaxies in One Frame" on National Geographic http://on.natgeo.com/2utoLN8 . . . . . #theuniverse #nature #science #songwriters #rock #rocknroll #indie #indierock #electro #electronic #electrorock #unsigned #musicphotography #concert #gig #liveperformance #musiclife #musicians #musicianlife #musiclovers #indiemusic #ontheroad #greatoutdoors #nature #research #travel #stars #wanderlust #space #cosmic

"With grace, passion, and a rhythm all their own, these dancers are taking the misguided, offensive words of Donald Trump and turning them into something beautiful.   The man behind the project is Redha Medjellekh, a French dancer, choreographer, and videographer. Medjellekh makes videos that explore social and political topics through dance. He completed this project as part of his residency at 836M, a gallery and art initiative in San Francisco."

From the vault... Here's a design from our dear friend Joel Barber (artdamagedportland.com).  Joel did the album art for the first 3 albums, during the creation of the Gold EP! . . . . . #albumrelease #photoshoot #music #musically #musicindustry #musicphotography #liveshow #musicband #singersongwriter #singers #songwriter #songwriters #rock #rocknroll #indie #indierock #electro #electronic #electrorock #nature #burningman #concert #wanderlust #liveperformance #musiclife #musicians #musicianlife #musiclovers #indiemusic #ontheroad

This episode of 99% Invisible is about the way in which the digital age has changed the way we record and listen to music:  "When the tape started rolling in old analog recording studios, there was a feeling that musicians were about to capture a particular moment. On tape, there was no 'undo.' They could try again, if they had the time and money, but they couldn’t move backwards. What’s done is done, for better or worse. Digital machines entered the mix in the 1980s, changing the way music was made — machines with a different sense of time. And the digital era has not just altered our tools for working with sound but also our relationship to time itself." . . If you're not already a listener of 99% Invisible, a podcast about design, you HAVE to check it out. It's informative in a way that is entertaining, even if you're not into learning about design!  http://bit.ly/2vr3nrV

A still from our video, Black Swan, to be featured at the HollyShorts Film Festival in LA this Monday...shot in under 13 hours with 22 takes and 5 hours of rehearsals, we were under a crunch with a micro low budget.  The end result, however, is a beautiful video.

Our video for one of our singles, Black Swan, was chosen as an official selection to be featured at the HollyShorts Film Festival this Monday in Los Angeles. It's been approximately a year since we filmed this one shot wonder. The video was filmed by cinematographer extraordinaire, @steadipeggy_ricebelly, and directed by the brilliant @hassain_said. Here is a "behind the scenes" pic to celebrate this honor. (at San Francisco, California)
