“Drumeria” is the third of these singles.

 

In 2002, we debuted our Dead Poets Society music video, “Synners”(which you can check out here if you like), at the first annual Parkdale Film Festival. 

 

In order for the video to meet festival requirements some end credits were added, and this track was composed to back those end credits.

 

The image on the cover of the single is a still from the film festival edit of the “Synners” video, and features Ryan Mann from Hotboxed (who performed guest vocals on the song, and co-wrote the story for the video). Ryan Mann, performing live with Hotboxed.

 

The track has been requested by fans over the years, and we are proud to have finally made it available in high quality sound. 

Enjoy!

Currently you can only grab a copy at iTunes, Amazon, and CDBaby, but eventually you will be able to get the song at all of the usual places: Last.fm, Napster, Rhapsody, Emusic, MediaNet, and Verizon.

We’ll update this post with the links as they come in. So be sure to visit again, if it hasn’t appeared on your favorite spot yet.

 If you’d like to support the band, in addition to picking up the song, you can also help by writing a review on iTunes, CDBaby, and/or Amazon

Happy Pi Day!

Fire Bolt (live) is the second of these tracks. It was recorded while we performed at The Zebra Lounge in Bozeman, Montana during our 2002 West Coast tour.

This performance features Wa Conner on drums and percussion, Jessica Griffin-Conner (aka Raven Nightshado) on keyboards and synths, and Eric Drake on keyboards and synths.

]]>New Dead Poets Society Single "Schoenfeld" Available Now Worldwide!http://www.thedeadpoets.org/journal/2010/10/7/new-dead-poets-society-single-schoenfeld-available-now-world.htmlthedeadpoets2010-10-07T17:00:16Z2010-10-07T17:00:16Z“Schoenfeld” by Dead Poets Society

“Schoenfeld” is the first of a batch of singles that Dead Poets Society will be releasing over the coming months. As we’ve worked endlessly on the new album we discovered that there were some tracks that didn’t really fit on The Bone Church, but they were tracks that we liked, and thought that they should be made available to you.

Schoenfeld was inspired by the incredibly positive impact that Wa’s maternal grandmother, Leola, had on his life as a creative person. If she were alive, she would have been nearly 107 years old. The album cover is a photo of her taken around 1928. Her maiden name was Schoenfeld, which means “shining field” in German.

This track is an instrumental juxtaposition that takes that shining field and passes it through the pressure infused context of today’s modern world, much as the personality of Leola Schoenfeld once did. She was an unconventional woman, and this is an unconventional instrumental mix of electronica, rock, and jazz. We sincerely hope you enjoy it.

“Schoenfeld” is available for digital distribution through CDBaby , iTunes, Amazon Mp3, Amazon.co.uk,  Zune, eMusic, Napster, Rhapsody, Last.fm, Jango.

We welcome your impressions and reviews of “Schoenfeld” on Facebook, Last.fm or CDBaby.

Sincerely,

Wa
