Hypnogaga saw an official digital release on December 1st, 2009. You can purchase digital downloads of it from itunes AND cdbaby.com or just  hear the entire album in the beautiful high quality over at Draculatron.bandcamp.com! The bandcamp service is brilliant, allowing the artist the ability to offer their music at whatever size or format the listener chooses and i’m planning on hosting the entire Draculatron catalogue there to preview and occasionally download for free, in it’s entirety. Currently you can download the “Fire On the Open Market” single, which also includes “I Make a Crimewave”, for free and I will be uploading SEX and We Are Dead Ocean in the next few weeks for your  perusal and enjoyment as well. 

The new live setup has turned out even better than expected and i’m really excited at the prospect of taking it out on the road for the spring and summer. We’re currently booking for shows in and outside of the Utica and upstate area. 

Here’s a video from our live in-store performance at Hot Topic in New Hartford, N.Y. on 12/4/09, performing “Palm Trees” acoustic! (Courtesy of Canaan)

Not your usual Draculatron show. Are the dancers sitting down? Wait, why is everyone sitting down?! This was an interesting set because were forced to strip all of these synth heavy songs down to two acoustic guitars and during rehearsals I wasn’t TOTALLY convinced we’d be as effective unplugged but turns out we are and I think we were able to pull this off beautifully. We didn’t have to change the arrangements of the new songs, for the most part, and I love that the harmonies really had a chance to shine. I’d like to do more performances like this in the near future, and rearrange some older songs for acoustic.  Stay tuned!

And this is a video of “Gamma Ray” from our show at The Tramontane in Utica, N.Y. on 1/15/10! (courtesy of Canaan)

I imagine this is what a “Gamma Ray” music video would/will look like in the future. And Erica pounding away on that drum gives me chills every. single. time.
