As many</span><span class="text_exposed_show"> of you now know, that time is upon us.<br/><br/>While Roger Clemens will claim he never did<em> “the juice”</em>, and Clinton still won’t admit he gave Lewinski the presidential treatment, the members of The Receiving End of Sirens would like to publicly own up to our actions and do what is right.<br/><br/><strong>Here’s the deal…</strong><br/><br/>• On May 15th TREOS will be playing an intimate set at the Met Café in Pawtucket, RI (sans lingerie)<br/><br/>• The first 100 people to post a picture wearing their “Ticket T-Shirt” to our Facebook Wall will get FREE ENTRY INTO THE SHOW (please include your name as it appears on your ID in your post)<br/><br/>• The last day to enter your picture is May 10th!<br/><br/>• To claim your ticket, you must come to the show before 8pm, and be sure to have your shirt and ID handy!<br/><br/>If you didn’t buy one of these shirts, no hard feelings!

The sleeve for the second disk has a tattoo which I designed and I just about died when I saw it! It&#8217;s the tattoo of a nuclear bomb exploding on Earth with &#8220;There&#8217;s no place like home&#8221; written underneath it (2nd one in the first column of images). I don&#8217;t think that Jesse (the proud bearer of this image) even knows yet! =)</p> <p>Keep rocking guys! I love your new track and hope you release a few more (or an album *hint*hint*).</p> <p>Love,</p> <p>Ines</p> <p><img src="http://i53.tinypic.com/16lg46a.jpg"/></p>http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1581073737http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1581073737Mon, 15 Nov 2010 08:01:18 -0500<p>I, Brendan, as usual have been listening to a ton of Pedro The Lion / David Bazan, Radiohead and all the bands my son makes us listen to; The Postal Service, Inner Party System, Death Cab for Cutie etc… </p>http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1581072781http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1581072781Mon, 15 Nov 2010 08:01:13 -0500<p>The old artwork was just trial and error.  We had a concept, an artist we loved (Chris Cox) and a bunch of lyrics that lended themselves to imagery pretty well.</p> <p>As for the newest release, Andrew and I were at our friends wedding when another friend of ours mentioned he used BTHATS to inspire an art piece he was doing for college.  As soon as we saw what he had made we decided it would be the perfect fit for the re-release.  His name is Matt Adams a.k.a Tiny Atoms.  Check him out!</p>http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1580714578http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1580714578Mon, 15 Nov 2010 06:35:23 -0500<p>So I downloaded Weightless Underwater with my download card and its absolutely INCREDIBLE but I must admit I was a little disappointed to see it was a 192bps mp3. I don&#8217;t mean to be a complainer but the thing that has always set you guys apart from everyone else is the epic size of the sound in EVERY song. And I feel like the 192 leaves out SO000 much of the experience weve all come to love. Any chance we&#8217;ll see a better quality anywhere?</p>http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1580703683http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1580703683Mon, 15 Nov 2010 06:32:41 -0500<p>Hey man, no bother at all!  Alex would be a better person to recommend a Sagan book to you, but I know he loved “Pale Blue Dot”.  I’d say buy “Mere Christianity”.  It may say written by C.S. Lewis, but just disregard that minor detail! haha</p> <p>Anyways, the nautilus reference was more in regards to “the golden ratio”.  The nautilus shell is one of the most referenced examples of this perfect symmetry in nature.  That verse is about evil finding the human to be a perfect dwelling place and the nautilus shell is used to represent that ultimate form of perfection.</p>http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1580702494http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1580702494Mon, 15 Nov 2010 06:32:24 -0500<p>Not sure right now.  I know we all plan on writing music just not sure how we are all going to write together again.  We may be able to do some stuff in pairs or 3 of us at a time but not sure when we will get a chance as a full band.  Believe me, we will keep you posted on anything we figure out though!</p>http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1580686959http://thereceivingendofsirens.tumblr.com/post/1580686959Mon, 15 Nov 2010 06:28:34 -0500
