C’mon in, the water’s great.”<br>
– Pitchfork (Review of City Center August 5, 2009)<br><br>10 years after the band’s inception, Saturday Looks Good to Me
(Polyvinyl, K Records) had tallied themselves a fully impressive
resume: 6 full-length albums, a handful of EPs and 7”s, hundreds of
shows all over the globe and a dedicated legion of supporters telling
their own stories about what happened the particular night Fred Thomas
and his cohorts passed through town. In 2009, however, it was
understandably time for something new. Thomas had left his native
Michigan and was now living in New York City. He no longer had luxury
of larger dwellings or soundproofed practice spaces. Instead, he had to
adjust to the acceptable noise levels of apartment life…and thus City
Center came to be.
<p>Shortly after City Center’s beginning stages, Fred recruited former
SLGTM bandmate Ryan Howard to collaborate on subsequent recordings and
help bring City Center to a live setting. The two wasted no time last
year, having now already amassed 10 out-of-print releases on vinyl,
cassette, and CDR. Late in the year they released their first proper
full length on Type records and headed out on the road to enthusiastic
audiences.</p>
<p>Now, Quite Scientific Records is proud to announce the release Spring
St. Four brand new songs from City Center that feature lush
soundscapes and subdued washes of rhythm. The short-player runs just
over twenty minutes long and will be released both digitally and on
stunning limited-run hand screened clear vinyl (viewable here:
<a href="http://store.quitescientific.com/qsr015image.html" target="_blank">http://store.quitescientific.com/qsr015image.html</a>). Only 500 copies of
the vinyl will be sold, and it will be exclusively available at live
shows, independent retailers, Insound, Other Music, and the Quite
Scientific Records webstore.</p>
<p>Just in time for the release, City Center will also be hitting the
road on a full spring tour kicking off in Pennsylvania on March 19th,
touching two oceans, funneling itself through the desert and finally
ending in Detroit on April 30th. Where possible the band will be playing
all-ages shows at art-spaces and DIY venues in the hopes of recreating
the fan-experience so many were able to be a part of with Saturday
Looks Good to Me. If you have the opportunity, we strongly encourage
you to experience the band in-person.</p><b>The Proxemics (Santa Fe)</b><br><div>The Proxemics is a Santa Fe based rock band founded in 2009 by Alex
