The Invisible Cities is having a free webcast tonite at 8pm PT. Here’s more about them:
The Invisible Cities began in 2001 in San Francisco when Han Wang (guitars, vocals) met Sadie Contini (guitars, vocals) on craigslist.org. The duo then started collaborating with band members in San Francisco and in New York, including Han’s brother Gary Wang (bass, arrangements) and Tim Bulkley (drums). With the help of many friends, the band’s first album, Watertown, came out in 2004 and was praised on many best-of-the-year lists. Playing regularly around the city, the Invisible Cities won the award for “Best Indie Pop Band” in the 2005 San Francisco Bay Guardian’s Reader Poll. With the addition of singer-songwriter Goh Nakamura on guitar, the band recorded basic tracks for their second album, Houses Shine Like Teeth, at New, Improved Recording in Oakland, CA and Tiny Telephone in San Francisco. The remote collaboration between San Francisco and New York required the band to work in a new way, and as a result much of the recording took place in the homes of the various band members, building upon and editing each other’s work like a musical version of exquisite corpse.
If you haven’t yet downloaded their new album, you still can for free here.
