 Post subject: eisley playing on the AE cd and another questionPosted: Tue Jan 13, 2004 4:20 pm 
hey eisley, and everyone else... I work at american eagle and I found out about eisley because the song "tree tops" is on the cd they play over.. and over.. and over... and I always found myself singing or humming it so I finally typed in the lyrics to a search engine because I wanted to find out who wrote it, and came across this website... and wow you guys are a really cool band with an awesome original style:o) how did you end up on the cd? did they ask permission or anything? just kind of curious.. hehe I was also wondering if even though you don't label yourself as a christian band, are you guys christians? I think I found a few references to that on your site.. but anyway, if you are, that's really cool. I also write original music and I'm a christian.. and well, its just cool to know others are in the music business. alright, i'm outta here:o) oh, and stacy- what kind of korg do you have? peace, Liz |

hey Liz. 1.hmm... we've been hearing from all over that American Eagle has been playing Eisley. So much stuff is happening lately with promotions and publicity and new media. But I can't put my finger right on it. Perhaps when we were on tour, some media company they did an interview with made this happen. So, the answer is... i dunno. 2. yes. of course. but no identities with the genre' which unfortunately is imitative and mostly sucks to high heaven. (sorry. it's my view.) Will try to find out about the A.E. deal. Thanks. _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.

i like how American Eagle didn't play the Telescope Eyes "single" from Laughing City. That's so pseudo-different. _________________ If the end of the world has proper noodles I'll probably be okay with it. |

yea, speaking from experience, christian music generally does really suck. i was a CCM (contemporary christian music) major at my school for a while, and learned pretty much that christian music is like the diet coke of the music industry (the good coke... good one, right?). cheap imitations of popular music today fit for a christian crowd. it makes me furious because christian record labels don't even seem to be looking for original music, just music that fits in. some labels even have a "jesus quota"- there has to be a certain number of times you say "Jesus" in each song. or something. I'm in a band right now, and we're all Christians, but there's no way I want to pursue music just in the christian genre. I pretty much wrote in because I wanted to find out if Eisley had similar views, or was drawn away from Christian music for similar reasons? yes, sixpence is a christian band (a great one too. listen to their newest album, its amazing:o) Love, Liz |

i've never shopped at AE. it's kind of intimidating or almost too cool for me. whatever. i think i'm getting past the age that they're shooting for. _________________ me, dianna. If it wasn't for the good souls Life would not matter -Starsailor my xanga ---> http://www.xanga.com/stargal01 |

i bought a killer denim mini at AE last st patricks day to wear to the bar and it was like on sale and i love it. but i dont shop at AE because most of their stuff looks very very "AE" and i hate when people are like oh my god i have that exact same shirt, pair of trousers... whatev. god ae used to pick horrible music on their sampler cds they gave out a few years back though. like really really bad. _________________ lovesick on a sunny afternoon leave those bees alone! |

The one time I've been in there, they were playing a song by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. I was thrilled. |
