The price of the EP is dictated by the tour and venues a lot of times (though I don't know this particular circumstance) and they have to jack up prices beyond their will. I think somewhere they said they had to sell it for that price (was it on Twitter - they seemed bummed at the price?). I was referring to the download though, because you can preview there. You just have to go out on a limb when you buy it in person unless you have done research. I haven't heard anyone complain about Perma, which from what I heard, sounds like Garage Band demos as well. I don't have it, so for all I know there may be studio credits in the packaging. _________________ I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away. |

I don't have it, so for all I know there may be studio credits in the packaging. Yup, Eisley have to charge $10 for the Fire Kite EP because that's what Say Anything are charging for their CDs. I don't know if they have a higher tier for full-length CDs than EPs, or if every CD is $10 to avoid merch man confusion in poorly-lit venues, but either way the price of Fire Kite is essentially out of Eisley's control. I took that into account when I decided not to purchase it (or have someone who's going to a show get it for me). The band have also said that if there are any copies left after the tour, they'll put them online, at which point I will probably snap one up if it costs less than $10, because I really like the package design. Perma is such a separate entity with a different angle and gimmick (hand drawn covers and whatnot) that I don't feel compelled to complain about it costing $10 too. wilsmith wrote: Fire Kites Digital EP = $4

I haven't heard/read this. What is unique about the package design? _________________ I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away. |

I haven't heard/read this. What is unique about the package design? Nothing really--I think it's a regular digipack or sleeve like the first two EPs. But I like the graphics. It's a return to form for Boyd. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Since there aren't many pro reviews out there, thought I'd highlight a well-written & thoughtful amateur review I came across on the web. http://thepaintedman.brookiellen.com/tags/eisley/&rn=SGaukIdlNGGv6cH/ This is a nice blog entry about someone's first experience hearing Eisley during this tour. Looks like they made some new fans during this sojourn & with EP.

How many times are people going to spell Stacy as Stacey? I always spell it the correct way, I've never known a Stacey so it never comes to mind |

I'm certainly not with a big name publication but I recently put up an interview/article for my radio station and school newspaper. We love the band at our station and I make sure to play them at least once a week. Let me know what you guys think. http://www.usdradio.org/2009/12/01/eisley-the-success-behind-a-family- affair/ |

I had a little trouble listening, but I definitely perked up at the part where it was mentioned that the new album might not be released via Warner ("It's up in the air...we don't talk about it..."). _________________ "The artist, like the God of creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails."(J.Joyce) |
