As I mentioned before, the Lander live at Mississippi Studios recording is in the process of being mixed and mastered and it seems some time since I last updated everyone on the status. Well, I’m proud to report that we are in the home stretch! Approximately sixteen songs are being mixed and mastered at SmileyNote Studios by Daniel Work and it is sounding great. Though the finished product is still a couple months away, I wanted to let everyone sample Popo Agie. Again, this is not considered a final product but a fair gauge of what to expect later this winter. Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present Popo Agie, live at Mississippi Studios, PDX.

Whether you know it or not, recording and producing music is extremely expensive and always a climb for indie bands everywhere. You can have talent, heart and loads of original music but in the end, it will require an enormous personal investment to see any of that material immortalized onto an album. This spring, I hosted a concert and live recording at Mississippi Studios with the plan of eventually releasing that recording to the public. However, all of my money was spent hosting that show and without a surplus, that recording has sat on the shelves waiting for my pocket book to catch up with me. I have no doubt that it would have collected dust until 2020 if it wasn’t for one very generous fan…

I am overwhelmed with gratitude toward Super Fan Jeff Sanford and his family. He emailed me asking when are you going to release the Mississippi Studios recording? I answered with the truth, probably never. I gave him my financial sob story; explained how I am still paying for Orange Chrome Sky and a new solo album (amongst life itself). I expected nothing from that conversation but nonetheless, a check arrived at my door today.

There are no words to explain his Big Heart. He simply shrugs and calls it an investment in good music. I will never disclose the amount donated to my cause but the recordings will be heard and I will no doubt dedicate them to his name. Thank you Jeff, for everything you’ve ever done for me.

Big Hearts are filling up the hemispheres
Big Hearts are warming up the coldest years
They’ll lie beside me forever more
Cause Big Hearts make mine grow

Here is a clip of Lander at the Doug Fir Lounge PDX performing a rare Clarity 07.25.06. The song is about the Apocalypse and a dream I had (your seeing the ending). Sweet dreams.

As I sift through the Lander videos, I’m going to start posting as much film as possible. Since we use a tiny digital camera the quality of sound and image is usual suspect- but enjoy nonetheless. All videos will be played on youtube.com

Welcome to the official Lander band website! We are making many transitions right now with our site so the information will be continually updated over the next few weeks. We are excited to evolve with the proliferation of technology and start treating our website like we should. Our goal is make landerband.com an easy experience and fun to visit. Look around and let us know what you think.

Oh what a night! We had our grand album release at the Doug Fir Lounge on Tuesday night and packed the house. The sold out show was successful in every way as we released orange chrome sky into the world.
The night was complete with a brand new merchandise and free CDs for all. Click here to buy the new album!

Thanks to all that helped in the production- thank you to the crew at the doug fir lounge, db clay and sameunderneath for the help with the grunt work. Thank you Matt Putnam for opening and Ohmega Watts for closing. Now that the party is over… enjoy the album.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-

July 25th marks the date for local band Lander to release the highly anticipated debut album orange chrome sky at the Doug Fir Lounge PDX- a starting block for a northwest tour.

PORTLAND, OR Lander was formed with the idea to create a unique sound; epic-folk. In a Portland basement in December, the band self-produced a mock album that set the stage for the upcoming studio experience.

For the past 5 months the Lander studio album has been crafted under the production of Rob Stroup at 8 Ball Studio, PDX. The 11 track debut infuses folk compositions with timeless rock n’ roll melody. Sentimental, sincere, even romantic, the song lyrics and mood’s stir up an emotional history that is the tragedy of the common: love and heartbreak, glory and ruin, pride and humility. Imagine campfires, long dirt roads and the epic story that is life… you have begun to imagine the sound of Lander’s orange chrome sky.

-we could be in the atmosphere.

Big news! The album is done! We’ve been scheming this album for 3 years. We’ve been recording rigorously since November. Needless to say, it was a long process but WELL worth the time. orange chrome sky is definitely an album you’ll want to check out.

With that said, I hope your calendars are clear because you’re cordially invited to join us next Tuesday July 25 at the Doug Fir Lounge for our debut album release! We’ve teamed up with Sameunderneath and db clay to bring you an amazing Lander show, free albums and brand new Lander merchandise for men and women. We’ll be playing all of the songs from the album plus a few more- we’ll also have DJ Ohmega Watts for the after party.

We believe this album deserves a healthy launch so check out the flyer below, listen to the samples, forward them to everyone you know, grab your friends and we’ll hope to see you Later in July… to claim your free cd if nothing else. Later Lander Lovers.
