   About The Definite Articles

We are a 5-piece rock band from central California. In May 2008, we released our first EP, Boy Wonder. If you come to a show, you can buy one from us, I promise!

We're starting work on our full-length record. If it's not done by the end of 2009, you know who to blame. (Hint: the answer is probably video games.)

..What's that? You say you'd like to join the 21st century by just buying Boy Wonder off of iTunes? We can hook you up!

The Definite Articles


And we made the July 2008 Monthly Mix podcast on The Bay Bridged:

The Bay Bridged


"The talent is obvious, but what I like is that the band don't depend on the kitsch factor; their music is catchy, complicated, adventurous, and most of all, really good. With a sound akin to Final Fantasy, Joanna Newsom, and the Shins, this music is the right step forward for indie rock. It's almost entirely unpretentious and genuine; and by that, I mean that these aren't college kids showing off how cool they are because they can play instruments (I'm looking at you, Vampire Weekend). This is a collective of talented musicians writing great songs and forgoing the guitar for a much better sound."

Better Days to you; whether May weather may turn murky like Chevron bird feathers or June's moons burn like peaccok plumes caught in carcinogenic arson rooms.

OLD FUTURE CRASH





Jun 6 2009 4:01 PM

Durante los meses de verano JUNIO, JULIO y AGOSTO, recordaremos los "promos" de RISING, LINE OF TIME y LOST IN A DREAM.

Disfruta del verano con algunos adelantos de las canciones que formaran parte de OUTSIDE TIME.

Hemos elegido como PROMO la primera vez que RISING sonó en la radio, esto ocurrió en ONDA REGIONAL DE MURCIA, dentro de su programa TREN DE SUEÑOS a cargo de MIGUEL ÁNGEL KEATON, el 16 de SEPTIEMBRE de 2008.

Para JUNIO es el momento de RISING...

Nuestros mejores deseos...

OLD FUTURE CRASH


During the summer months of JUNE, JULY and AUGUST, we'll remember the "promos" of RISING, LINE OF TIME and LOST IN A DREAM.
Enjoy the summer time with some advances of the songs that will be part of OUTSIDE TIME.

The PROMO we have chosen this time, corresponds to the first time RISING was broadcasted on the radio, at ONDA REGIONAL DE MURCIA, in its program TREN DE SUEÑOS, leaded by MIGUEL ÁNGEL KEATON, on September 16, 2008.

For JUNE, it's the turn of RISING...

Our best wishes...

Navega en el espacio junto a un robot con la nueva promo de Mayo de Old Future Crash...I'M A ROBOT.
Una canción donde puedes escuchar la voz narrativa de NANCY BETANCOURT y cuenta con la colaboración de MARIAN LOPEZ en la voz del estribillo.

Sail away out in space next to a robot with the new Old Future Crash promo for May... I'M A ROBOT, there you will listen to the narrative voice of NANCY BETANCOURT. It also counts with the special collaboration of MARIAN LÓPEZ with her voice in the chorus.
