Auto Body: “Say What You Will” EP out now!

admin — Tue, 15 May 2012 10:00:14 +0000

That’s right, for the price of a few well-placed mouse clicks, you can have the brand new “Say What You Will” EP in your ear holes almost immediately.

Just click on the album cover below to get your FREE DOWNLOAD!

The advance copies that leaked out last week are already being talked about on the interwebs all over the country, which is pretty sweet for an indie band from Austin, but we really made this music for y’all, so go tell us what you think on Facebook, and Twitter, etc.

Don’t be afraid to start a dance party at work over by the fax machine, and there’s nothing wrong with throwing it on your Winamp during you and your significant other’s intimate time. Go ahead and bump it in the car, or in the shower, or while showering in the car! Being chased by a pack of wolves across the tundra? Just throw on our record and you’ll be laughing about the whole situation over a rousing game of Jenga in no time!

We are VERY proud of these tracks which represent the best of the past two years of songwriting/wolf taming, and hope you enjoy and share them with everybody you think needs a solid facemelting.

Speaking of facemelting, we would like to go ahead and do some in person as well. That’s why we’ve immediately lined up two huge parties this weekend in Austin and Chicago!

On Friday, May 18th we will be performing in Chicago at Beauty Bar with the deliciously dripping electro/disco beats of our newest discovery - exbestfriends.! Oh and the show is ‘effing FREE before 11:30PM with RSVP!

then…

On Saturday, May 19th we return to destroy The Mohawk in Austin with our fave DJs on earth - learning secrets! This is an outdoor show with a midnight sound curfew so get there early to catch everything.

In fact, be one of the first 100 through the door and receive a complimentary Tito’s Vodka drink.
In fact, be one of the first 50 through the door and get a FREE CD of Say What You Will!

love and bite marks,

Auto Body

Van Ghost “Cage” music video premiers on myISH!

admin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:44:23 +0000

Many good things have been happening and we’re checking in to tell you all about it. Most importantly, we are proud to release our official new music video for the single Cage off our (FREE DOWNLOADABLE) current EP “The Effect” and full length “The Domino Effect” due out this July on Dustimmoff Music! Like our Domino Effect video, Cage was directed and produced by our dear friends Ian Gelfand & Grayson Ross in an abandoned mansion on the north shore of our hometown Chicago with additional footage from New York City and Chicago occupy protest rallies.

We’re honored that myISH, a new YouTube Music channel dedicated to discovering new music, premiered the official music video for Cage today, Monday, April 23, 2012. Please consider sharing it with your network and click to enjoy!

In other Cage related news, we’re proud to say for the past month the song has been charting in the Top 100 on the Commercial Triple A charts due to adds and spins from loyal stations in Boston MA (WXRV), Aspen CO (KSPN), San Francisco, CA (KFOG), Atlanta GA (DAVE FM) and many others from coast to coast. Our #1 supporter WXRV had this to say:

“Cage is a radio hit from the first note to the last note. Incredibly catchy and full of hooks. At “The River” in Boston, we’re already 125+ spins into Cage with great audience reaction and a station festival date already booked. My chips are on Van Ghost to break out with Cage. What are you waiting for? Listen and hear for yourself!” - Mike Henry, Radio Consultant, Paragon Media Strategies

NEW MUSIC IS HAPPENING

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:10:02 +0000

We’d like to use some cliche bullshit metaphor about how we’ve got stuff baking in the oven, and how we’re gonna serve it hot & fresh this year…but it’s much more like a couple bloodthirsty diabolical scientists building dozens of frankenstein monsters to be released on the countryside… Until then, here’s our MiniMix for further consumption-
