Go check it out. Also, the blog has been archived and had navigation added, making it much easier to handle. Don't forget to come out and see us at Continental, April 16th! As part of downtown NYC club Arlene's Grocery's ‘classic album night’, Copper Man will be performing Pink Floyd’s “Meddle” in its entirety, with a few guests. We promise that it's going to be intense. We'll be stroking the stage at 11 PM, but feel free to come early to catch other bands performing albums by Buddy Holly and Deep Purple. Any questions, feel free to email: hello@copper-man.net Or visit: http://www.arlene-grocery.com/ Two video clips are now posted from the Liberty Heights Tap Room show, June 19th. Go to the "Images" page and check them out. For more info, please read the blog. Top. We are pleased to announce the new member of Copper Man: Eric S. He'll be joining us for our show in Red Hook on June 19th. We may be filming the show, so we'll post any interesting video that we manage to capture. Top. Thanks for visitng the spanking-new Copper Man site. We've been so busy putting the finishing touches on the album and rehearsing for the summer that this launch is going up a little thin on content. But we'll try to update weekly. Please feel free to send comments, complaints, recipes, etc. to hello@copper-man.net. Also, whatever glitches you note on your particular browser/computer combo, we'd be grateful if you forwarded them on. Top. Copper Man Track Listing: then now later the story: When Dan is seventeen, a dream of music is sown in him by unsavory characters. Not the easy dream of commandeered Lear jets, supermodels and sold-out sports arenas. Dan instead dreams that it is still 1977, and the music moving from dozens of small East Village stages and SoHo lofts is so thick in the urban summer night that it pushes he and his friends together. Echo a response. Music that matters. A statement to savor. With amplified instruments, heroin chic and a 1990 Dodge van, the band travels the country, staking out pulpits from which to spread the gospel of the downtown dream. In some flyover town, from the stage of a nearly empty club, Dan hooks a disciple. A beautiful co-ed, who receives the dream and Dan as it’s true prophet. Later, she quits their shared midtown NYC apartment, and Dan is left to wonder how she can move on while he must search for a future. He is without fame, without fortune, without a diploma, without a clue. Ten years on, Dan awakens to find that summer vacation is long over. Stable relationship? Check. Full-time job? Check. Living beyond his means? Absolutely. He still dreams of music, but no longer as a release. It has become an escape. One night, while he is tuning up on stage, he imagines cracking in a spectacular manner. Scaling his office tower, bellowing, “Fortuna, Imperatrix Mundi!”, he prepares to wow the crowd gathering in the streets far below. He remembers his youth, and thinks of the dream. Now, Dan can’t be sure if he is about to take his first step upon a high wire vibrating in the thin city air, or if it’s just the E-string on his guitar, quivering in anticipation of the first chord of the evening’s show.
There is also a 4-song sampler of the album, available now. Email us for more info. Top. |
