naxat

Hey.

Bad Times has been active and doing shit. Naxat has not been… until… now.

More stuff coming soon. Why don’t you head over to the bandcamp for a special treat to tide you over?

At the end of March, I will be moving to Olympia, WA.

The show on the 29th was awesome. Pictures are up on the Facebook page.

It’s been a good one, DFW.

First of all, QuickDFW just published this article about naxat.

I definitely am not abandoning  this “band” anytime soon, but after the show on the 29th, I am taking a break. I have been playing about twice a month since beginning the tour, and have not made time to work on any new music. writing a naxat song is a long, sometimes tedious process, but the results pay off (at least enough to satisfy my own ego).  New music is being worked on, just not for this project. Not sure how much time I’m taking off. Until then, listen to this amazing song by The Jam:

I am not sad to report that naxat’s myspace profile is gone, or rather, it will be gone in about 24/48 hours. If you are trying to link people to anything naxat related, this is the place to do it.

Added another show, too:

Current shows:
- MONDAY – 12/6/2010 – @ Play Pause Replay, Grapevine TX, w/ HARD TIMES, PAPAYA, and JOEY KENDALL

Here’s the facebook event

I also took down the old demos of “Flashbulb” and “A Voices” because they’re OLD NEWS. Studio versions of that song are on the bandcamp site, so listen to it there.

Naxat is releasing the debut album “Chambers of the Naxat” today. Here’s the weird 3rd Person Press Release:

“Here it is, music lovers – the moment you haven’t been waiting for. Almost a full calendar year after it was announced, Alex Atchley finally releases the first full-length Naxat album, “Chambers of the Naxat”.  This is a modern electronic album that has nothing to do with any music trends of the last decade. Who cares what sounds influenced the album? The music speaks for itself. It is available for free right at this very moment, on http://naxat.bandcamp.com to satisfy our ever-growing addiction to instant-gratification.”

The shop page should be up and running. E-mail me if you are having any problems with the paypal button.

Also, the album is done. I am working on artwork and thinking of something to name it. I’m ready to be done, and I’m sure all 3 of you are tired of me talking about it. It should be ready to go this time next week. Thanks for your patience.

Wednesday, October 13

An evening of shredding:
Mose Giganticus
People Men
Naxat
TBA

Other info: About 88% done recording the album. We’ve been mixing as we’ve been going, so we’re about 88% done mixing/mastering too.

I guess its worth mentioning that I’m playing at Love and Reason in Arlington tonight. Also, I must have stepped into a time-portal back to 2001, because God’s Joke is playing. Eccotone and Star Commander round out this bill.

Also:  A live show staple, “Closed Hi-Hat” has been released on this wonderful compilation:

A Chip off the Shizz Block Volume 2

It includes many high quality tracks from my friends on The Shizz, such as Wizwars, Norrin Radd, and more! Get it here.
