The MOCA show on Friday was a blast!
The weather was perfect for an outdoor evening show and the audience rocked!
Thanks to all who attended…

Also, our new EPK is up for viewing!
Carlos Grasso did an AMAZING job on it, and you should all check it out!
It’s posted on our myspace page, youtube, and our website (which is getting new additions every couple of days!).

We’re going to be playing another downtown show on August 2nd, so for those of you who couldn’t make it out to MOCA…… we’ll be at Pershing Square on the 2nd.

Hope to see you there!

t’s Sunday morning in sunny L.A.

As we’re gearing up for the release of our new record, I am blown away by the amount of decision-making involved. From the album art to photos, website, etc…. Don’t get me wrong, it’s all very exciting! -Just much more involved in ways I hadn’t anticipated. I thought the hard part (making the actual record) was over!

The new website (not up yet) is really looking great. Much thanks to Jeff and Bill. I wish you could see it now, but all the kinks are being worked out before it’s up and active. Soon, though.

Keep checking back, because in the next several weeks more new material will be posted, here and on our website.
Until then, Paranoid Android from our new record is up on the MySpace player, along with a sneak peek of the album cover. Our friend Chris Cuttriss put together a great little video on “the making of” that song, which is also posted.

It’s Sunday. What am I doing at the computer? I’m going to walk down to the farmer’s market and get some strawberries.

“It’s been such a long time…”

The Section Quartet has been out of touch with you for several months now, but we miss you and hope you’ve been thinking of us as much as we’ve been thinking of you. We’ve been hard at work on our album, playing on sessions and gigging around the country since the last time we spoke. Let’s go backwards in order to go forwards:

JAYWALKING IN AUSTIN

While in Austin to play at SXSW, TSQ participated in a filmed piece for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - airing Thursday, March 22nd - with Wayne Coyne, lead singer of the Flaming Lips. Together with Wayne, we helped some hard-working Austinites star in their very own music videos to the tune of TSQ rockin’ out some Led Zeppelin, Radiohead and Queens of the Stone Age. At the end of the shoot, Wayne turned to Eric and said “well, that was weird, wasn’t it?” Coming from the head Flaming Lip, that’s sayin’ something! Stay up late or Tivo the show, but whatever you do, DO NOT MISS THIS ONE THURSDAY NIGHT!!!

DECCA THE HALLS

At the end of 2006 TSQ entered the studio with producer Linda Perry to begin work on our debut album for Decca Records, the legendary record label once home to The Rolling Stones. In December, two and a half intense weeks of work with Linda were followed by several days with Jon Brion, who is also producing tracks for the album. Working with both Linda and Jon has been a scintillating experience: eye opening, challenging, fun and exhausting all at once. Work has continued into the new year and the album is nearing completion. Fingers crossed, the album should be out in the summer of 2007.

Howdy, y’all! We’re at SXSW in Austin, Texas right now, about three hours before our big show here at the Cedar Street Courtyard. SXSW is a crazy blend: part Mardi Gras, part industry convention, part local music festival. You never know what you’re going to see or hear next.

This afternoon we were asked to participate in a filmed piece for the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips is acting as correspondent for the Tonight Show and interviewing everyone from Pete Townshend to the average man on the street. We aided Wayne in making “music videos” for three hard-working Austinites along Sixth Street, the main drag for music in Austin.

Don’t miss the piece next week on the Tonight Show because Wayne found some wacky folks to join in on the madness! And that’s in addition to TSQ!

More photos and bloggy revelations to follow.
