Laying in bed
Wrote two songs today
My favorite lyric from our work
let them feed you everything, let them sell you doctrine
Packing for our little trip to the husker state
Can't wait to hit the road...

Sleepy.

Happy.

let them sell you happiness, watch and learn to clench your fist

Feb 12th- Lincoln, NE at the Box Awesome

Happy 2009!  I wanted to send out a quick update:

1.  New Album-  We are working on our debut full length with the help of our new friend bassist Zachary Miles Ojeda.  He has an amazing knowledge of latin rhythms and is going to be a great addition to the band.  I have a really clear vision of what we want to accomplish:  creating New Wave Salsa, music that makes my mother dance and makes my father smile.  I can't wait to start showing you what we've been working on and will be updating this shortly.

2.  Making Movies Home Movies-  Once a week starting next Friday, we will be posting 'home' videos.  Stay tuned.

3.  Shows- We are playing a handful of dates in Feb/March to try out new songs.  Looking forward to seeing you there.



¡Feliz 2009!  Quiero ponerlos al corriente:

1.  Nuevo Álbum - Estamos trabajando en nuestro primer disco completo con la ayuda de nuestro amigo y bajista Zachary Miles Ojeda.  Él es increíble, tiene una comprensión excelente de los ritmos latinos y es una fabulosa adición para la banda.  Tengo una visión clara de lo que queremos lograr: inventar Nueva Salsa.  Inventar música para que baile mi Mamá y sonría mi Papá.

2.  Making Movies Home Movies - Una vez por semana pondremos nuevos videos caseros en nuestro blog. Vamos a comencar la proximá semana.  No se los pierdan.

3.  Toques - Vamos a tocar un puñado de shows en febrero y marzo con unas nuevas canciones. ¡Espero verlos pronto!

La revista Pitch Weekly:

Best Bilingual Band
Making Movies

About 20 years ago, the Chi family moved from Panama to the Kansas City metro. Little Enrique, then 6, began to learn English. His fluency now is demonstrated by the thoughtful lyrics he writes and sings for his rock band, Making Movies. Chi, whose olive skin and blond dreadlocks make him stand out in a local scene dominated by white guys in black jeans, brings his own past to the musical table. On Tierra Firme, Vol. 1, the 10-track collection that Making Movies released this year, Chi sings every song in English and Spanish. That is, the record contains English and Spanish versions of every tune. In any language, the angst-filled songs rock.
