Its ok.... wipe your eyes and re-read what you thought was unreal.  Its true.  Lux Astra has come to a very sudden end.  The big question is why???? Well, to be honest, i dont think anyone in the band can really answer that without second guessing themselves.  We had a long, prosperous, and more importanly FUN run... and we are very satisfied with what we have accomplished, seen and all the people we have met.  We are also grateful to no end for the support of our friends, fans and all of the great people we have met across the states.  All i can really tell you is that it wasnt working.  There wasnt any fighting, arguments etc... it was just mutual.  The groups creative differences was probably the main source for this.  Our last show is posted.  Its with Canti Be My Arms this sunday, august 16th at finnagans.  Please come out and have some fun with us one last time.  It will be a day that atleast all of us will remember.  As for the musical direction of the members, you have something fresh to look foward to from most of the origanal group.  So keep your heads up, your eyes watching, and get your asses to finnagans this sunday and have fun with us one more time.  Thanks for everything.  We love you.  - Anthony and Lux Astra

Hey fans, friends, family members, and all others!

If you do not read this entire blog, atleast read the end where we thank you for being awesome and tell you about our upcoming show in Jersey!

First off we want to apologize for not updating our myspace and blogging, and keeping you all informed of what we are up to during tour.  We love and miss you all, and although there is no excuse for being so absent, we have been busy playing shows all over the country every day, and have a few issues with updating the myspace that we're not going to go into details with.  However, we're back, and we're ready to let you all in on what's going on!

So, tonight we are in Chicago, IL. Played an awesome show at Penny Road Pub last night in Barrington so thank you anyone and everyone for coming out to see us there!  Over the course of tour we have seen so many things, played so many shows, and met so many amazing people so thank you to everyone who has helped us along the way. 

I am going to try to sum up tour in a few short paragraphs.  We started out in Newport News, VA (where we will also end tour in 2 short days), and we loved everyone we met there and can't wait to be back.  After that we made our way south towards Florida and one of our more memorible shows at the Ultimate Basement in North Carolina was a stop along the way.  If you are a band looking for an awesome place to play, go to the Ulitmate Basement, we promised to rep them because they are the nicest people and will let you stay with them for the night!  After a 17 hour drive to Mississippi we played two awesome shows in the south, and made our way further north to Missouri. 

Shortly after we drove through Kansas, saw some specular lightening storm, we were so scared we were going to be driving through some tornados! Haha, luckily that didn't happen.  Driving into Colorado was absolutely amazing, and seeing the mountains through Utah and Nevada was one of our favorite drives yet. In California, we met up with Soulwraith, an awesome band, so please check them out, and thank you to Ryan and everyone in that band for helping us along the way. Okay, I'm going to make this even shorter.  Cali was awesome, went to Portland which was so great, and Seattle was even more perfect! Best day ever! (Seriously).


Finally we're making our way east and are ready to see you all!!

I want to say thank you on behalf of the band to every member of Danielle and Mike's family for accomodating us every step of the way, and hopefully we will be back to see you all soon!  Also, to each of our parents for supporting us all in every way.

Last but not least thank you to all of our friends and fans for being there for us at home and around the country.  We missed you all, and meeting all of our new fans for the first time was the best part of this whole experience.  We will be back to see you!

Keep playing our new EP in your CD players and for all of you back in New Jersey come see us play on July 10th in Trenton.

Here is the info:

Cafe International
241 E Front St
Trenton, NJ.

Please come out and see us, we'll be hanging out there before and after we play so come with all of your friends and hang out with us!  You can pick up our new EP!

We love you and cannot wait to see you all there!

Love,

Ezra and Lux Astra!

P.S. We will be posting A LOT of new videos on Youtube very soon and there are some new ones up already go check it out!

Hey guys. We are hard at work trying to put together a bigger and better live show for everyone to see, and also we are gearing up for tour. At the same time we feel that as much as we, and i hope those of you who care to read this blog, love our current myspace page, we are getting a little tired of it. This is why we have hired 1208 Designs to design a BRAND NEW LAYOUT!!! I for one am very excited about it because it will add to our credibility as a band to those of you who have been Lux Astra fans, and to tthose of you who are new to the Lux Astra family. We are taking strides as a group to start presenting ourselves as the motivated, ambishious, and proffesional group that we, and all of you know we are.

As many of you don't know, our 2 new songs (Eastfold and Severed Ties for Black Eyes) have been written to a story that i have been writing. And our future Full length cd will be following the story in its entirety. Soon the story will be finished and we will figure out some way to release it to the public, so be on the look out, cuz its pretty freakin cool if i do say so myself lol. when the time is aproching i will post a blog about it.

Tour is getting closer and closer, and we can not wait, its going to be a great experience. But we are in the midsts of planning for after tour, let me bring you up to speed. Once we are back from tour we plan to have our songs (maybe a few new ones too) PROFESSONALY RECORDED! And hopefully by the winter or spring of 2010 we will be FULL TIME TOURING! We have the highest hopes for Lux Astra's future, and i hope all of you do as well.

I would like to close this blog by thanking each and every person who took the time to check out our page, listened to our music, read our blogs, commented us, messeged us, and those of you who came out to see us play a show. With out you there would be no motivation to continue. We owe it all to you! Thank you for taking the time to read this. Keep in touch!

Current mood:  cheerful
High upon the treetops Tucked away from human sight You know the bough is breaking As the cradle surely rocks tonight I'll observe your fall and pray All of the branches greet you on your way They'd let me confidently say this ain't no lullaby

Change of wind leaves your heart in pieces Carving all the beauty her palms foretold Her hands dressed red, so jaded Just save one shard for her last breath

On this evening, the bells will toll away As you sleep, watch the storm clouds arise Won't be leaving for anything you say Sinking deep, you're demanding to breathe These moments past present a future, understand This evening is in my hands

I can see at once it wasn't for the best With or without permission May I instigate your heart's arrest? Or would you rather lose your mind? No less, I’m taking back what's mine My indecision proves that time Could never fail on its own test

Endless peace is attained through vengeance Catch her breath and all of her dreams will die Her veins bleed from life to lifeless Just let her drown in guilt tonight

On this evening, the bells will toll away As you sleep, watch the storm clouds arise Won't be leaving for anything you say Sinking deep, you're demanding to breathe These moments past present a future, understand This evening is in my hands

Don't be sad Lux Astra fans!
As you all know we just got a new singer Tim Hickson who is amazing. So we need to re-record, and re-release our old songs as well as some brand new ones. Apologies for the lack of songs on the space but stay tuned and you should be able to hear some more tracks with Tim in the upcoming months!
Thanks
