SHRALPDOWN!

Hey All,

I mentioned in an earlier post that we would be working with OneFive Media, the most grizzly gnar shredders around on their new mountainboard film SHRALPDOWN! Well the film is finally out and it is about as awesome as Chuck Norris, if he was twice as badass as he actually is. I mean just check out this screen capture...WTF?

That is Jables Dersham goin huge on an MBS Board. JD is the Producer/Editor/Videographer/Super Mega Badass of the film, and I would definitely recommend protection before giving the film a look (especially for the ladies...this film is POTENT).

Anyhow, the movie is totally free on the OneFive Media website, and we have about 5 tracks featured in it, so be sure to go check it out. I have also included the trailer, just in case you need more convincing that you should head over to OneFive Media and checkout Shralpdown! Word up y'all...big stuff comin up, stay tuned.

a history, in brief

per the request of a few fans, I've decided to narrate a bit of a back story to the becoming of centercourse.

some of you may or may not know that ben and I have been making music together for years, and actually started out in a classic rock band in colorado. i had led this little band for a few years when my drummer flaked out on a gig we had coming up in a few days. strapped with no drummer i was sitting in jazz band [high school days] listening to ben rock his **** out and asked him if he might want to play with us in greeley that weekend. he quickly obliged and even agreed to a couple ridiculous rehearsals which entailed learning 4 hours of music we'd been playing for years.

gig time came and ben cracked it wide open, and had a blast doing it too. the rest of the band welcomed the wry comedic perspective of a younger hungrier drummer and the rest is history... well it's all history, technically. because the only thing happening is now... which isn't now anymore. now it's then. hmm.

uhhh, but from there, we all went to college and I moved across the country and while other members moved on to marriage and other avenues of life ben and I kept in touh and developed a distinct passion for really glitchy electronic music. four years and many phone conversations later we moved to vegas and began composing. while vegas was a rather stagnant 6 months career-wise, we wrote some really dope shit. [one track of which i am mixing now featuring the incomparable joanna stevens, which you can all hear soon]

so now we live in LA in mansions fighting off retard-strength-paparazzi and mega-ton-hot-bitches. well we're workin on it anyways.

stay up,

The Lone Filmmaker

Hello All,

Robert Hindle, better known as "The Lone Filmmaker" is going to include some of our music in his film project. Here's a statement from Robert...

"I am making a feature film - entirely on my own - and my girlfriend is filming me doing it.

Witness the struggle, the setbacks, the highs and lows as I fight the odds; and see the process of filmmaking like never before!

Please help me - It is very hard to get your film seen without famous celebrities, but if I can show that there are already people interested in what I am doing - then I may stand a chance! Please help me by signing that you are interested."

As he has to do everything for the film himself, our music is going to be featured in the video blog. We are totally stoked to be involved, and when I saw the first episode of the vlog, I was hooked. I immediately watched the rest of them until I was caught up to date, and subscribed to his channel on youtube. I have included the first vlog here so you can get a taste.



Also if you visit TheLoneFilmmaker.com, you can view the latest videos, get info on both Robert and Gabriella, and sign his guestbook which will help get his film seen. I will keep you guys up to date as to when the episode featuring our music goes live. Until then...

cheers,

It was a great time, we were in Fort Collins for about 4 days and got to catch up with Chris Vega, Andrew Madison, and Ellie Johnson...all awesome people. At Rin's party we ate, drank, caught up with family, drank, playedbeer pong, drank, and had a blast. Rinny is movin' to Breckenridge here soon with her boyfriend Andrew to start a career as a professional snowboard bum...jealous much? If you would like to go congratulate Rin you can do so on myspace or facebook.

miss automatic

headed over to joanna stevens' place to work on a vocal she's doing for one of our tracks. she's absolutely fantastic my good friends. we like to call her miss automatic, because she is. she's singing over one of the first tracks ben and i wrote together over a year ago while we were living in lovely las vegas. [i dont mean that at all, it's not lovely in the least bit]. we've been through a couple of different vocalists who just didnt bring it to the table but now, jo is knockin it out in a big way.

ben and i met her at kate havnevik's release party in hollywood way back and discovered not only an affinity for similar styles of music but also for dry british comedy.

anyway we'll post the track on the website and on our myspace once we finish it so keep a lookout.

stay up,

chevy
