Longwave Plays an Acoustic Set Tomorrow at Sound Fix Records

After a three year break, Longwave is back. The band has a new disc, Secrets Are Sinister, coming out on November 11th. To celebrate the new release, the band is playing a special acoustic performance tomorrow night at Sound Fix in Williamsburg.

Check out this video for an in-the-studio performance of the lead-off track, "Sirens In The Deep Sea", from Longwave's new disc.


What is going to make tomorrow night's show somewhat crazy is that MyOpenBar.com is a co-sponsor of the event and there is a double open Drambuie bar, at 7pm and again, at 9pm, that will wrap the band's performance.

The event poster says that you need to RSVP to http://www.myopenbar.com/longwave but please note that it also says that RSVP'ing doesn't guarantee admission.

After the Jump Presents Free Longwave Show on Friday

Longwave is playing the official after-party for the Regina Spektor/Albert Hammond, Jr McCarren Pool concert. This is a free show and Alberta Cross is opening. The show is at the Music Hall of Williamsburg and doors open at 9:30PM.

Longwave also announced a release date of November 11th for their follow-up to 2005's There's A Fire. The upcoming disc is entitled Secrets Are Sinister and it will be released on Original Signal Recordings. For anyone who wants an advance listen, there are a number of tracks from Secrets Are Sinister streaming on Longwave's MySpace profile.

"[T]he new album was recorded predominantly by the band in their Brooklyn studio and with the help of producer Peter Katis (The National, Tokyo Police Club, Interpol) at his Connecticut studio. Secrets Are Sinister expands on the band’s trademark sound: atmospheric, arena-sized guitars still build to an epic swell while the band’s penchant for dreamy landscapes now gives way to an equally dynamic but louder, noisier, and more driving sensibility. Hailed in the past by magazines ranging from Rolling Stone to Nylon to Alternative Press, Longwave returns with their most varied and accomplished work to date, from the shimmering “Sirens In The Deep Sea” to the thundering, Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Sleater-Kinney)-produced “Life Is Wrong” to the hopeful title track."
