The Secret Machines

[Velvet]

What can you tell me about them?

[AD]

* In February 2006 they were the opening act for U2's Vertigo Tour in Mexico.

* In an interview for the Uncut magazine (August 2007 issue), The Edge of U2 said that Now Here is Nowhere is "the last record he fell in love with".

* In a September 2007 release, the band performs with Bono on the Across the Universe soundtrack on track 7, "I Am the Walrus". Both Curtis brothers and Garza receive mention in the "featured musicians" credits as members of the "NY Band". The Secret Machines also perform 2 tracks on the deluxe edition soundtrack, "Flying" and "Blue Jay Way".

Secret Machines- Lolla 2006

Here's some cool pictures of them from 2006- at Lolla- the festival and a small club show that they played- a friend of mine form New York knows of them and says they were kind of cool then when Ten Silver Drops came out but things have changed a bit over the last few years.

Shhe isn't as in to them anymore and recommend we give it a miss last they came through town.

No, of course not. I also have a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head for you.

you should add this to your act.

I saw them in philly a few years back and was totally unimpressed. IMO, there songs were boring as shit, the singer was not very good, their musicianship was uninspiring, and about the only good thing I remember from their set was when it ended.

I don't think they're very good at all and I can't understand why they have an audience.

[Velvet]

I like it. Keep it comin'.

[Im going home Donny]

I sported 2 buttons today.

1 of them said 'ask Todd.'.

I saw a bit of them at Rothbury and they were very boring. No one was there to see them and I understand why. The drummer was pretty good though. 1 out of 5 stars is generous.

Lazy journalist. Shouldn't you be doing your own homework?

[Velvet]

This is my homework - drawing upon the knowledge of my independant sources.

Well, now that the cat is out of the bag, I'm interviewing the band in about an hour, any question suggestions?

[AD]

"If you're so secret, how come all these hippies have opinions about your music?"

"What kind of machine are you? And don't say secret, the cat's out of the bag on that."
