'Cause it looks like that may be the Month of Silent Muse. Though we don't have exact dates yet, we've pretty much got two confirmed gigs for March. One right here in Charlottesville with In Tenebris at the Outback Lodge. The other at _sacrosanct_, currently our "Home Away From Home," playing with Virginia's newest Goth Rock giants, Dead New Year. We've ( Read more... )

First off, I want to offer a hundred thousand thank-you's to addktshun for putting together Friday Night's opportunity for us. Seriously, he took care of us every step of the way. From setup to breakdown he was there, making sure all three bands were comfortable and ready. Sometimes I've gotten the feeling that promoters don't really give a damn about ( Read more... )

With In Tenebris and Void Stares Back at Jillian's in Norfolk. A map with directions is available on their site, though you do need Acrobat Reader to view it. It's a bit of a drive for most of you, I know, but with these three bands it's going to be totally worth it ( Read more... )

So, in case you haven't heard, Silent Muse will be opening for In Tenebris and Void Stares Back on January 7 at Jillians in Norfolk, Va. Information (time, door, directions) should be forthcoming (especially if rozzgoth, starplucker, or kamera_shy comments said info here. This is the furthest from home we've ever played, and therefor we plan to rock the house down. Show up ( Read more... )

Silent Muse's Debut EP, Everything We Want is now available for easy online purchasing at the MIDDEL SKOV Online Store. Due to shipping and paypal costs, we've had to up the price to 7 bucks (it'll still be 5 at shows) but if you've got no way of seeing us live anytime soon, this is definitely your best bet (and, if I may be so egotistical, still ( Read more... )

In my dream I was at Band Practice, and I had just wrote this fantastic riff we were expanding on. So then we started writing the intro, and when it came time to kick back into the main melody, I'd completely forgotten it.

And, of course, upon waking, I don't even remember what note it started with.

Sigh.

So in case you were caught unaware, Silent Muse had another show last night, once again opening for ego_likeness at _sacrosanct_. The crowd was literally twice as big as last time, and people actually stood up to watch our set this time (hell, some even danced) so add that to a lot less sound problems this time and I'd call it a fantastic show ( Read more... )

A year ago I gave the members my first Demo, back before Chad and Tom joined, back before Salieri was recorded. Honestly, compared to what we do now, it was crap.

But only a year later, we were opening for them. Damn, that's a great feeling.

I would call last night an overall success. Thanks again to _sacrosanct_ for having us and ego_likeness for letting us share ( Read more... )

Alrighty. . . euphoria is wearing off and I've regained enough sense to type, so let's talk about this EP, and the show at which we will officially release it ( Read more... )
