Nothing remains static. Interim, Temporary Basement's third CD, is a perfect example. From songs that jump from left to right like
a hyper FM radio, down to the cover art with frantic circles, Interim is about change.
Recording for Interim furiously began at the end of 2006 in Mike's home studio. There were a number of challenges to recording, including the departure of founding bassist Erik Ulsaker, who contributed songwriting and playing. Final tracking and mixing took place with JP Maheu, who helmed Subscribing To My Youth.
Interim's subjects range from lyrics belying the uncertainty of growing up and not feeling absorbed, to the fight to keep in touch of your friends and yourself (Badfriend), of failed connections and longing (If You Ask), and of promises finally kept (Rescind). The sound of the record varies as well. Hallways is a balance between the tense and angular guitars of Fugazi and the sweetness of Oasis. Fluster fuses Emil's skittery raggae beat with a flamenco style outro. Mike's high and instantly recognizable voice remains on display on songs like
Holdover and Laguna Beach.
As the band blurs the line between power pop, emo, ska and other points in between, they continue to challenge themselves and their listeners while remaining anchored in the classic pop of the Beach Boys and Beatles they grew up with. After many years in the Washington DC scene, Temporary Basement still love playing out and being part of the visceral feeling that comes from making and listening to music.

Q: Another FAQ? Whyyyyyy?
EMIL: I know, I know. But people seem to love these things.
Q: Where are you from? What's the story?
MIKE: Me and Emil grew up in Woodbridge, although we spent our childhood in the Philippines.
Q: What can we do to help?
EMIL: You know how it is. It's one thing for a band to say it's worth your time, it's another for your best friend to tell you he decided to laser burn the logo into the back of his neck. (DONT DO THIS) You know what I'm sayin. To help rep us, you can:
Make us a Top Friend [email: us@temporarybasement.com]
Add [tempbase] to the end of your display name. I've heard this is the new hotness.
Post a bulletin about us to your crew. We make the best cookies, you saw Emil punch a bear, whatever.
Add our banner to your page. Or, even make us a new one, and we'll post it!
Make one of our songs your profile song. Any will do.
Send your friends our link or mp3s.
Burn CDRs and hand em to anybody that will listen. (Email us and we'll send you 4 mp3s of whatever you want)
Put our stickers everywhere! (Except where you and me can go to cruel butt grabbing prison.)
Help us get to where we're going. It's not just our band, it's yours too.
Q: How can I be one of your top friends?
EMIL: We see you enough at the shows, or you help us get the word out, then you'll see your face up.
Q: Where can I get the words? There's too much mumbling!
MIKE: Most of them should be on www.lyricwiki.org. Except for the maybe some of the older ones that I'm too embarrassed to address.
Q: Where can we buy cds and merch anyway?
MIKE: Go to www.cdbaby.com/tempbase or Itunes to find our jams.
Anybody have other questions? Just drop us a line!
if you or anyone you know is a musician tell em to check out my page, I've got the hook up! I help Capacity Productions and they help musicians. -check out my page for the banner to their site. =)

Sonicbids is an Artist and Promoters Worst Nightmare
Recently we began a trial usage of Sonicbids service for our artist and band searches.
As a result of that test it became clear that Sonicbids is all about earning money at the expense of artists looking to break through the wall that surrounds the music industry.
Based on our experiences from both the perspective of artists we are associated with seeking to benefit from opportunities offered though Sonicbids. As well as from the perspective of promoters searching for talent through Sonicbids service.
We have concluded that Sonicbids operation is nothing more than another one of these money making SCAMS that is generating as much as $8,000,000.00 a year for Sonicbids at the expense of artists and bands paying subscription fees on top of submission fees to be considered by promoters utilizing Sonicbids services. Of which many of these Promoters are running nothing but a SCAM on artists or bands that apply.
First, you should be aware of where the money goes. For every dollar an Artist or Band pays for Sonicbids’ subscription fees, it goes directly into Sonicbids pockets. Second, the first $100.00 of every listing by a promoter, as well as 50% of all fees you pay for any listing also goes directly into the pockets of Sonicbids. This means that Sonicbids is, by our estimation, pocketing over 75% of all monies collect from unsuspecting artists and bands.
We also believe that for every band that pursues any individual opportunity at least 50 artists or bands have applied for it, and in some cases 1,000’s of artist or bands. And in many instances after paying the fees and being selected the artist or band finds out they have to pay additional fees to be included, or they will receive a notice from the promoter telling them that even if they weren’t selected, if they want to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars they can still be included in the opportunity.
