 Post subject: UK......Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 7:50 am 
I know someone always posts this every few months and its usually me and usually goes along the lines of when is the band coming back etc etc. Anyways. Question: Does anyone, preferably Boyd/Kim/band know what sort of promotion the new album will get over in the UK? Will it be released at the same time over here? Will they tour around the album release over here? Does anyone know yet? or not? Personally, I can't wait I'll have the album uk release or not, but from what I've heard of the 'new' songs, albeit in their orignal clinkity clock ealry stages, they are light years ahead of the first album, proper real good pop songs and the kind I think will get Eisley recognition and deservidly so. Anyone? Steven _________________ "A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there." - Charles Darwin (legend) |

I keep wondering why there hasn't been more of an effort to push them over there. I think they'll catch on way faster there than here ... _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

UK people are picky :/ At the London TBS show, I heard some not so positive stuff from people behind me but that was just a small group of twenty somthing drunks. I think the band could do well, they can appeal to a variety of people which is more than what some bands can do. |

i don't think the sort of audience TBS has in the uk is necessarily going to be the right audience for eisley. which is not to say that NO uk tbs fans will like eisley, but it's not necessarily who they'll want to aim for. but i think if they find the right audience, eisley could do really well here. bands like midlake and the decemberists have done well (especially the decemberists, who i first saw over here at a tiny church venue and are now playing some quite big london venues), and joanna newsom is getting really big. there is definitely a market for artists who are 'something different'. if eisley could open for a cool 'indie-ish' band over here they could pick up a real following. _________________ "dial" in Welsh means "revenge".

I think it's moreso that drunk people are picky (or very non-picky, depending on the type of drunk) _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

I've always wondered why they didn't tour in Ireland... I think their fantasy songs would've gone over well there.

[seriously though, i wasn't drunk. and i must say that the london performance was a whole lot more accepted the in birmingham. damn scenmos.] |

I absolutely hated the TBS tour (I had tickets, but wasn't actually intending on going until I heard Eisley were supporting). I swear in Bristol I was the only one in the crowd who knew who eisley were. I heard in Southampton they threw bottles at Stacy? It was pouring with rain when I saw them, they were stood in the street with all their bags, and people we're just pushing past them. I went over to talk to them, and we were constantly barged into. I actually apologized a few times to Chauntelle. I know it was the wrong sort of audience for them in the UK, but I felt quite embarrassed by the crowd. I was just like, "I know how this looks, but PLEASE say you'll come back again?" And I'll admit, I got a little starstruck when I was talking to the girls. But meh. |

at the tbs show in brum probably about 1/4 of the people there were actually paying attention which was really sad. thats when i fell in love with eisley, i just love support bands. maybe if they toured with someone else it would have turned out a little better. would love to see them play again over here in the UK _________________ flickr.com/notathome smile

They won a few people over last time, next time they'll win over more ... and it'll grow exponentially, even if they keep facing hostile crowds.

Then I apologise. I was stood on the far left (Chauntelles side) and I was unfortunate to be stuck behind a bunch of thirteen year olds who thought it was cool to pretend to "mosh" throughout Eisleys set, and in front of a group of people who continually booed and yelled at them to get off the stage. Not fun. |
