   About can_of_be
can_of_be consists of 4 experienced musicians who just love strange music and weird tunes and 'suffer' from the obsession to weld that into their own songs. Main instruments used vary from and between electric guitars, cello, piano, glockenspiel, jewish harp, percussion, accordion, keyboard, electric bass, scrapmetal and a singing saw! The music that comes out is extremely divers... can_of_be searches for the perfect balance between caressing beauty and derailed madness; they explore the boundaries of dynamics, giving each song its own, sometimes cinematic sphere. This leads to a sweet lullaby suddenly being transformed into a theatrical gypsy theme, or a funky groove resulting in minimal music. Each song is played about with until it has its own organic feel in an effort to create an inescapable sound, in your face! ______________________________________________________

Hey everyone, I hope this finds you all well… We're excited to announce that the new Meanwhiles record Slow Motion Summer in all it's bleary-eyed, indie-rock glory is now printed, packaged, produced, posted online, and in all ways.. available.

The CD features Alan Weatherhead playing pedal steel guitar and orchestral samples on “Whenever You Need Me,” and Nadine Khouri singing subway-tunnel echoed vocals on “Dreams From the Underground.”

Limited edition, hand painted CDs by Todd Allen, standard CDs in cases, high quality MP3 downloads and free listens available on our myspace page or at Meanwhiles. com through PayPal.

Those of you in NY can pick up a copy this Sunday at Rebar in DUMBO, Brooklyn where Todd and I will be playing an intimate set at 8pm.

Got some good things planned for the near future… videos, tours, collaborations, live MP3s, and new songs begging to be recorded. Check out Meanwhiles. com for details…

Thank you as always. We hope you can take a listen.
“Keep on the sunny side,”

HELL-O

Ik was een beetje afwezig hier de laatste tijd, zo druk met opnames van de nieuwe EP. Maar ik ben er weer, alles goed?

We moeten nu wachten op de eindmix van de nummers, maar ik heb toch alvast een ongemixt nummer online gezet om alvast te laten beluisteren of onze nieuwe stijl wel bevalt...

Mocht je nou gewoon een keer willen zien hoe we live zijn...
