"Portland's Another Cynthia is my official overlooked artist of the year. That's a mighty big compliment and they deserve ever letter in the sentence. What's so special about them? They mix beats, strong and sometimes fun lyrics with excellent musicianship. They produced their own album (great job!) and are practically giving the album away it's so cheap. Do yourself a favor and get this one!"

Weekend Artist Series: Portland's ANOTHER CYNTHIA
It's Friday evening and wanted to leave you with some great music. The profile artist for the weekend is Another Cynthia. I first wrote about them last August and I actually ended up naming them the Most Underrated Band in 2006. Yep - Definitely Worthy of a listen and a place in your collection. Just remember you saw it here first (again.)
ANOTHER CYNTHIA - the band you'll leave your current favorite indie CD for. A 2006 must have for your collection! This is the amazing new band from Portland. They are sporting the best new sound and some truly amazing production values. Together it makes for an amazing new sound.What else can I possibly say? Read on friends, read on.
This probably won't be the last time I tell you how much I am enjoying Another Cynthia's latest project or flash back to what they have already done (numerous accolades including RSL Underrated Album of the Year 2006. I mean, everyone loves an underdog especially one that's this talented.) But this might be the last time I need to tell you about Another Cynthia because being good eventually gets you noticed - even amidst a wide dark sea of contenders.
Both VH1 and MTV (believe it or not) are waking up to their sound. Both are using snippets of AC's catchy tracks on their television shows in addition to playing their songs. MTV showcased two tracks during their last Music Awards. The fan base is growing. It's good to see good things happen for this talented, hard working bands. This level of attention will likely result in a tour sometime soon. Only time will tell.
The Mannequin EP is available for Free Download.
You want it - It's Good.
First Single from the New EP
Another Cynthia - Let Down
Let Down is getting airtime on KNRK 94.7fm Portland
So get in on this multi-faceted talent factory. They are super DIY, playing instruments themselves, running their own boards and producing their own records. This is what indie is all about. Here's your chance to grab a free album's worth of material, listen to the songs and tell your friends that you knew about them before they broke it big. It could happen here in '08.

(Hawthorne Theatre, 1507 SE 39th)
Wow, Another Cynthia, I totally didn't expect to love you when I first saw your name on this bill. There's just something about your band name that screams "screamo." But you are, like, soooo not screamo. With sample drum noise and live beats backing up new wavy keys and a ton of vocals swirling around each other, you're super awesome in a dark new wave kind of way. It's the same kind of thing that made me drool retardedly over the second Faint record, only you guys have waaay better vocals, and not so '80s-ish arrangements. I'm totally going to be at your Hawthorne Theatre show. Can't wait to buy a copy of your self-titled CD. Sweet! Oh, I won't be surprised when I hear you for the first time on the radio. It'll be like, "Dudes! Told ya so!" GM
Another Cynthia[Guitar Heros]
This six-member, all-male brunette Bridgetown band looks and sounds like totally classic indie-garage-dance rock. I'll unpack: Fresh-faced and occasionally outfitted in Beatles-esque suits and skinny ties, Another Cynthia creates a happy hybrid of super catchy electropop melodies, cheeky choruses and punchy pop bass lines to remember-it's the kind of thing that usually catches on big.

THANKS FOR THE ADD REQUEST MY NEW FRIEND. I PRAY GOD'S BLESSING ON YOUR LIFE. Heaven’s Strength God walks with you, He'll do his part to lift up and mend shattered hearts Water His shoulder with your tears whisper to Him all doubts and fears Find comfort these times soon shall pass Life is but a tempestuous, fragile glass Yet, with a wave of God's mighty hand He can scatter troubles upon the sand Leave the window of life opened wide Bidding your Shepherd to come inside During trials and troubles invite God in Bringing peace and comfort once again
“God is our refuge and strength A very present help in trouble” Psalm 46:1 “I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.” Acts 24:15
“This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has given me life.” Psalm 119:50
“And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed. ” Deuteronomy 31:8
Als Erk Aicrag und Racso Agroyam nach ersten musikalischen Gehversuchen 1993 Hocico gründeten, war nicht abzusehen wie erfolgreich die beiden Mexikaner einmal werden würden. Mittlerweile füllen die beiden Hard-Elektroniker, die für ihre aggressiven Live-Shows weltweit bekannt sind und deren Club-Hits landauf landab für volle Tanzflächen sorgen, Konzert- und Festivalhallen bis auf den letzten Zentimeter mit Fans.
Tickets für das Konzert am 24.07. im K17 könnt ihr euch unter www.k17.de sichern.
Hey Whats up? Been out of the works for awhile but your guy EASY E is back better then ever. Thank you for the add on here and hit me up with whatever. Will get back to you as soon as possible.
I like the fact that when I posted a comment not only did you reply but you replyed the same day! Unlike other bands who are just to cool for their fans.
