<br />
<br />Been quite a while since we updated this here blog - and we're doing it now with good reason.
<br />
<br />We have tracked for 2 weeks in Woodstock and the East Village and are now in the home stretch of making our debut album. We have two more days of tracking left and then it is on to mixing and mastering - very exciting stuff.
<br />
<br />Also, next weekend we will be playing some shows with our friends at The Bullpen in Washington, D.C. We play at 9:30 PM, August 19th and August 20th. So grab a brew, a dog, and a band member's body. Also, we will be playing a 'band crawl' with our friends at LocalHeadphones.com on September 17, at the Clarendon Grill. You won't want to miss it.
<br />
<br />Excited to play some new tunes for you guys! See you soon!

First of all, thanks to everybody who made it out to Rock and Roll Hotel this past Friday, it was a lucid dream come true. Speaking of shows, there's a couple industry events we will be performing at in the very near future. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We are playing <a href="http://www.mpmf.com/">Midpoint Music Festival in Cincinatti, Ohio</a> next weekend, as well as <a href="http://www.deweybeachfest.com/dbmc/">Dewey Beach Music Conference</a> and of course, <a href="http://cmj2010.com/">CMJ Music Marathon</a> in our home turf of NYC! We are taking an unofficial hiatus from club dates for the rest of the year to focus on writing and making plans to enter the studio to record OUR DEBUT ALBUM! Practice last night went pretty sweetly, we had a cool idea and dug quite a few more out of the archives that we will be devoting our attention to. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Be on the lookout for news about our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MidnightSpinVideos#p/a/u/0/Wld0qKg5lsU">video for "Trigger Finger Itch", </a>which is receiving some additional baby powdering and spoonfuls of love from our friends at Comedy Central Studios. We are shooting for a late Sept/early October release!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Finally, to all our fans, this has been an amazing year for the band so far, and we're not even close to ending it. We got on FUSE, we will be announcing our <a href="http://www.mtvmusic.com/artist/null/videos/558316/in_the_air_revival">MTV DEBUT for "In the Air (Revival)", </a>and Jim will be giving one lucky fan guitar lessons for all of October. Buy a shirt now at the <a href="http://www.midnightspin.bigcartel.com/">Midnight Spin Store</a> to enter the non-existent raffle!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We will be in touch. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Love,</div><br /><div>Midnight Spin</div>Midnight Spinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05168316746621233372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053323153183782641.post-80292459310012231562010-07-27T05:36:00.000-07:002010-07-27T05:40:06.513-07:00live from the tour<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVXxOoU_4S2NHq6DuQvONIf2A8kT3j49geDm2jtSUvO544ORdUFIXxeWHFORxKPCQnjRfgq3Cshv0QVzq6Z26Xm2h_22OlzHYDt0fdbpwxGZ9C481Sq7VIt5jnyi2CISP7-OQj_NDLabwm/s1600/band+logo"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVXxOoU_4S2NHq6DuQvONIf2A8kT3j49geDm2jtSUvO544ORdUFIXxeWHFORxKPCQnjRfgq3Cshv0QVzq6Z26Xm2h_22OlzHYDt0fdbpwxGZ9C481Sq7VIt5jnyi2CISP7-OQj_NDLabwm/s320/band+logo" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498564770411726866" border="0" /></a><br />hey guys!<br /><br />it's day 4 of the tour, and we're about to drive from maryland to ohio for 7 hours. we have a show in columbus tonight. thanks to everybody who came out to see us in philadelphia and especially baltimore, that was a great way to kick off the tour! we will be sharing dumb stories and videos from the road soon, but we just wanted to thank all of our fans for the support and the attendance, it means a lot to have people who have your back. we're excited to see chicago and indy, and we're only getting started. the band is in top form and we can't wait to rock columbus tonight!<br /><br />mike<br /><br />www.midnightspin.comMidnight Spinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05168316746621233372noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053323153183782641.post-41868828642501384022010-06-27T12:15:00.000-07:002010-06-27T12:30:22.808-07:00Summer of Midnight Spin<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJYwwVpBxWFhi89vZiGEb5ZnrDu_rPq2f6CywAYQzXUnDt5mNddQp5Clz-U2Hk30AQuMk1joNcdtR6AK__XbFN5HA6ydWkS8JU8v8oTFqP2HekxaIsGABrZJc7q4y4pM4noZoxbYGXyyY6/s1600/pic.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJYwwVpBxWFhi89vZiGEb5ZnrDu_rPq2f6CywAYQzXUnDt5mNddQp5Clz-U2Hk30AQuMk1joNcdtR6AK__XbFN5HA6ydWkS8JU8v8oTFqP2HekxaIsGABrZJc7q4y4pM4noZoxbYGXyyY6/s320/pic.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487536876340616466" /></a><br />Hey all!<div><br /></div><div>It's been amazing summer so far for the band.

We're playing their <a href="http://www.publicassemblynyc.com/events/view/1653">5th Annual Best of NYC Fest this Thursday</a> at Public Assembly in Brooklyn, on N 6th Street. For those who don't know, it's probably the most happening street in the most happening neighborhood in the most happening city in America. And we're happening on stage at 9 PM SHARP, so get there early! Cheap beer, easy guys/girls, hipster fashions, unreleased songs, new guitar pedals, magazine writers and music critics, it's EVERYTHING you could want in a show. Show the music scene what the Midnight Spin scene is all about!<br /><br />Also, we are shooting our music video for "Trigger Finger Itch" THIS WEEKEND! We'll be working with a great team from Comedy Central studios, and we will be playing cereal mascots...that is all that can be revealed thus far. But stay tuned on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and anything else that can be uploaded, because there will be new posts! If you thought the first video we shot was wild, you have not seen anything yet.<br /><br />See you guys Thursday, come kick off your summer with the band!!<br /><br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Midnight SpinMidnight Spinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05168316746621233372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053323153183782641.post-23061295323961316172010-04-19T12:55:00.000-07:002010-04-19T13:14:40.619-07:00What's good?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuOb017vnwllMbhfsEyzBysmlVP4FxE2fswk-6NSnQI91ZbCl1JfYIv2so-3ShUhgfIk5tO463uby1rEUOjnjHzFnCJEyv6ihU0PYt0llBRYvV5tjvjhT4qfsiDkZfmaKPDgvfOyI8oaFT/s1600/iPhone+pics+012.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuOb017vnwllMbhfsEyzBysmlVP4FxE2fswk-6NSnQI91ZbCl1JfYIv2so-3ShUhgfIk5tO463uby1rEUOjnjHzFnCJEyv6ihU0PYt0llBRYvV5tjvjhT4qfsiDkZfmaKPDgvfOyI8oaFT/s320/iPhone+pics+012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461944561524734754" border="0" /></a><br />Hey all!<br /><br />Just bloggin' up a blogstorm here, lettin u guys know what's new. We want to thank everybody for coming to the show at Rose Live Music, and apologies for not starting the set until 2 am. We ended up salvaging the late night though with a great set and want to thank Girth for opening as well. Our next show is the Best of NYC Fest hosted by <a href="http://nyc.thedelimagazine.com/node/1275">The Deli Magazine</a>, and we will be harassing everyone to come get as wild as you wanna get at Public Assembly on May 13. We're playing with some talented bands and are very excited to return to North 6th Street for some rocking out.<br /><br />We also have T shirts being designed, and they are looking pretty cool. Let's just say they have some NYC feel to them and are very interesting. We'll let you know more about them when they exist. Also, we're nominated for Band of the Week by Beatcrave, so head on over to their site and <a href="http://beatcrave.com/2010-04-16/beatcrave-fav-poll-gamble-house-or-the-whale-midnight-spin-carney/">vote</a> for us! Woo!<br /><br />We're going to be playing up in Boston with a very cool bill at Middle East, and we're excited to play our 4th show in Beantown. May 29, if you're down to groove, come see us.<br /><br />We've a bunch of other stuff going on, we're coming back to the Bullpen in DC, shooting another music video, we have an article in The Deli Magazine coming out, and we have been featured in <a href="http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/">Classic Rock UK Magazine</a>! Check out their latest issue, in stores.<br /><br />We also did a photo shoot Saturday with our friend John DeMato, so be on the lookout for new band pics.<br /><br />We finished a new song last night at practice, and have a couple more being finished.

We played the sold-out Harper's Ferry this past weekend in Boston, and it was an amazing time. On the way to Massachusetts we blew out a tire on our van, which was subsequently towed during the middle of our set, and we rocked the venue with a great show and got a bunch of new fans! It was most definitely chalked up to fun.<br /><br />This weekend we are playing at the Shamrock Out! Benefit for ALS at Gin and Tonic in Washington, D.C. There are close to 400 people already pledging to be there in green; we are expecting absolute madness.<br /><br />Finally, the music video for "In the Air (Revival)" is done! Finished. Completed. And set to be released to an NYC audience...<br /><br /><br /><br />...stay tuned for details.Midnight Spinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05168316746621233372noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053323153183782641.post-2881264873563009362010-03-04T07:45:00.000-08:002010-03-04T07:47:58.840-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJUddW_Ozcn6Zq_m1iCQ7hvGIF1kQ7jHlc9e1aAK6IkrKCHBanmZYJflrxaKpM5wM_ZvzTzIHyWOdz9EL_3MPJEUDJ5-BgVamWJEUMHWp5ku5VaLvhg86b5w3brX-6DcvhyR9DeZnBi-YW/s1600-h/mcnabb.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJUddW_Ozcn6Zq_m1iCQ7hvGIF1kQ7jHlc9e1aAK6IkrKCHBanmZYJflrxaKpM5wM_ZvzTzIHyWOdz9EL_3MPJEUDJ5-BgVamWJEUMHWp5ku5VaLvhg86b5w3brX-6DcvhyR9DeZnBi-YW/s320/mcnabb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444805911323252722" border="0" /></a><br />Midnight Spin on ESPN!

Our set was cut down but I got to meet Axl Rose after the show, which is pretty unreal. He looked like Peter Fonda in Easy Rider and he was talking to Rachel Hunter, the "Stacey's Mom" chick who used to be married to Rod Stewart. Sebastian Bach was hanging out too...we had a lot of fun during Guns N Roses and Alberta Cross, and it was an absolute blast playing the afterparty. Stay tuned for some more pics from our man Jake.<br /><br />Also, make sure you join us on 26th for our gig at The Delancey! We will be celebrating Jim's Bday, 26 on the 26th! 7 bucks, great time, huge afterparty - an event that we are becoming quite accustomed to.<br /><br />MikeMidnight Spinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05168316746621233372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053323153183782641.post-41223986880795774532010-02-10T16:19:00.000-08:002010-02-10T16:59:34.748-08:00"It's All Happening"Hey there children!<br /><br />Midnight Spin just got back from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">mtvU's</span> editing room, where we screened a cut of our upcoming video for "In the Air (Revival)".

Thank you guys so much for helping us win The Deli's Best Emerging Artist of 2009 Reader's Poll! We have never felt so emerging! We will be celebrating at Jeremy's uncle's bar in the West Village, and will also mark the occasion by actually finishing some song ideas and grooving out to some new material ASAP. We are playing the dope ass Cameo Gallery this coming Monday in Williamsburg. We're playing with some punk bands and we take the stage last, so come on out if you're groovy enough to rage on a weeknight in the coolest borough in the coolest city on the coolest planet. The band likes to take in some comedy there at Cameo on Wednesday nights, be sure to check out Big Terrific, it lives up to the title. Thanks again for electing us! We will be using the prizes to cut a new hit single and explore new tones, new zones, and create some ringtones.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone who came to our DC9 show! We had over 200 people come rock their vertabrae with us and we loved every minute of it! Stay tuned for news about the In the Air music video, the new website, and Midnight Spin being featured on ESPN!

First up, the band has met with our director, Will Coss, and we have hashed out a concept for our video for In the Air. We are scouting locations right now, so if any of you guys out there have any places in mind (venues, warehouses, nuclear testing facilities), we'd love to hear from you. The shoot is scheduled for the<br />weekend of December 5th and 6th, so keep your weekend plans open, and you can be in a music video with us!<br /><br />Second, we have our big Holiday Show planned for Friday, Dec 11, at Santos Party House in Chinatown! It's at 96 Lafayette Street, right by the Canal St. 6 train, so get there early, we play at 9:30! We will be debuting new music and weirdness for everybody, and it is surely going to be a show to remember. <br /><br />You can buy tickets HERE: <a href="http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=608305&pl=santos">http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=608305&pl=santos</a><br /><br />We have been so grateful for 2009, it has been an amazing year for us, and we are promising even cooler events and grandiosity in the future. Thanks to all of you guys who made us RockItOut Blog's Band of the Week! We are looking for some BIG things to happen in the near future, so if you haven't already, sign up to follow the Midnight Spin Blog!<br /><br />And dig this video of us from Indiana, playing Rhythm in the Dark.
