Bonus Footage From D.C. - Our Front Man’s American Idol Audition Tape
Posted by admin on
Our surprise front man got more feedback and fanmail than any of us. But that's cool. We're not jealous. In fact, I've compiled the highlights of his performance that didn't make beadpig's first live video. I think you'll find them both compelling and inspiring, with a touch of endearing. I'm not sure how we'll be able to inform him once he gets accepted for the next season of Idol, but he'll probably already know from all the press attention. This is most certainly not an April Fool's joke. Paula is going to love him! Stay tuned for more updates when...
CollegeHumor Can't Comprehend Breadpig's Unique Sound
Posted by admin on
After submitting our first video to CollegeHumor, we'd hoped it'd be selected for public showing. In what we can only assume is an anti-breadpig bias, it was limited to "Local" viewing, which basically equates to premiering the Beatles Tonight Show appearance on the local public access channel. It's not the first resistance we've encountered on our journey of rock, but it only motivates us to rock harder.
Getting Some Love From The Blogging World
Posted by admin on
I couldn't bring myself to say "blogosphere." Entertainment Feed accidentally called us "deadpig" in one of his links (although a good alternative name, it leads to an abandoned blog from 2004). But who am I to complain about a shoutout? They did link to our first single, Hot Coffee, which has been listened to over 1000 times. Wild. breadpig -- 01 Hot Coffee uploaded by kn0thing BrockLi Soup wished he'd "wandered through Chinatown that night." I'm a little disappointed you weren't there either, Brock, because I don't know how much longer we can keep doing free shows on the street....
Broke 40K YouTube Views And Earned A Spot On G4's The Feed
Posted by admin on
But when do we need to tune in to watch our video on the moving-picture-box? Nonetheless, it was still nice to see our unique sound be appreciated by G4's Stephen Johnson. It's apparently a "Nugget from the Net" which we took to mean something good (?) BreadPig, extra-special Rock Band band goes on tour. Life on the road is tough, man. Indeed it is, Stephen, we gained and lost a front man all in one show. That's the kind of thing that would destroy any other band, but not breadpig.
If MamaPop & BrightestYoungThings Write About Us, Are We A Real Band?
Posted by admin on
We're still waiting for the Pitchfork review of our album, When Will Then Be Now?, but these write-ups will tide us over. First from MomaPop: Three dudes in Washington DC (holla, homies!) recently decided to take their virtual jamming to the streets of our nation's capital, documenting it all on video to hilarious effect Holla back, MamaPop. And here's some love from BrightestYoungThings: and finally in lieu of our live pick this week (which was going to be black lips, but you can just google that) here is some DC flavor: Breadpig.The Band takes Chinatown. And lives. We are indeed...
