Before we begin with this weeks band of the week, please go here and listen to “Across The Sea”
Ok so in this post super musician super star-era, the duo known as The Premiere aims for something in the middle of dance pop, rock & hip-hop, gambling that maybe there’s a little bit of taste left in the world of popular music. These guys make it clear they aren’t super stars, but also make it clear that they want to be. And I think they definitely would be if the right person heard them.
It may at first listen sound like they are going green with music… pieces from 80’s pop, 90’s grunge, industrial, 90’s hip-hop meters & vocal harmonies, and late 90’s techno with a definite indie spin and surreal twist. Its the sonic equivalent of a pent-house decorated with those styrofoam containers McDononald’s used to use, broken cassette tapes, slightly stiff slap bracelets, flannel shirts, black light posters, Oakland Raiders baseball caps, disco balls, original Gameboy handhelds and Sega Genesis Cartridges and then splattered with the glow stick goo. No one in town is doing hip-hop, pop, or indie-electro dance music like this and so I guess these guys figured they could fill 3 holes with one stroke. A little like Cut Copy with a little bit of Depeche Mode, a little bit of Muse with a sprinkle of NIN. Almost conventional, almost deep, definitely cool. These guys have proven that cool can be recycled. HAHA
The Premiere in a sentence: If bling could buy and wore bling, this is what it would dance to when it got some new bling: feeling a bit of guilt of cannibalism, but relieved to be on this side of it.

Next, we want to let all of you know that currently, we are dilligently working on the album, adding final production touches and also in the midst of recording/mixing several tracks.  Adam and I have handchosen three standout single-type tracks that we are going to release in the coming month or so as an EP, as to give you all a real taste of the fury that is ANTENNAE.  The three tracks will include final mastered versions of
 
1. "Movie Screen" (which a demo of is currently on our player),
2. "50 Inch Rims"
