Wanted to put in a mention for a local New England band, Mindset X. They're a modern rock band with progressive rock touches. In the interest of full disclosure, I am a friend of the drummer, Adam Cote, who I work with. But I wouldn't mention them here unless I thought they were pretty damn good.



Their current album, their fourth full-length CD, is entitled Thread.

1. Thread
2. Hearsay
3. Shore
4. Box
5. Ghosts in Boston

10. Grace
11. Light in Hope

So where in the liner notes will I find a reference to "Dr. Evil"?

None yet. The band had already started before I met Adam at work, so I can't take credit for anything.

Here's a link to the band's myspace page in case anyone wants to check it out. Support New England bands...especially the good ones!

Bump to update all New England fans of their current gigs...

Mindset X will be playing their first-ever New York City gig this coming Friday, April 17th, at

Arlene's Restaurant
96 Stanton Street
New York City, NY

I urge any and all NYC ICErs to check this out. It's a 21+ show.

The band plays modern rock with prog rock twinges. They're really excited about playing NYC for the first time and I hope y'all will check out the show.

You can listen to their new single, "Sunset Boulevard" at their official website:

Mindset X will also be doing an in-store appearance in Salem, New Hampshire on Saturday at Bullmoose Music on Record Store Day. I will probably be at this gig. Maybe some New England-area ICErs can make this event! They're giving out free copies of their new EP.

My friend's band, Mindset X, has a new CD out, As Seen On TV, that can be obtained for the ridiculously low price of $2.97.

And they've just released their first ever music video to promote the single "Snake Oil."

They've been aggressively touring the New England clubs trying to get the word out there so I hope maybe a few ICErs and IMWANkers will check out this group.

They are one disc closer to being out of stock.

New album coming soon.

Cool song.

Looking back at this thread, it seems I ordered the CD. Can't remember if I ever got it or not - I'm going to have to check!

Don't tell my wife - she'll use this info to claim I have too many CDs!

Alan

Alan, if she gives you grief, just remember that time-honored retort: "Could be worse...you could be married to Jimbo."

Quiet, man! She's right over there. And sometimes, I think she wishes I was married to Jimbo!

Alan

Get a room, you two.

A CD room, that is...
