As a spin-off of wishstars' thread about Midsummer, I realized that the boys have had (and continue to have) other projects that they work on outside of The Autumns. What I also realized is that I certainly don't know everything they've been involved in. Below is the list of other musical projects that I'm aware of - any add'l info about them is greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone knows of others that aren't mentioned, please chime in!
1) The Sound of Animals Fighting
Matthew contributes vocals to two tracks (The Heretic and My Horse Must Lose) on TSOAF's latest release, "Lover, The Lord Has Left Us...". Remixes of these tracks appear on the recent reissue of TSOAF's debut album, "The Tiger and The Duke". The Heretic is a real standout, and holds the distinction for most spins in my iTunes over the last 2 monhts.
2) The Sugarplastic
Matthew contributes vocals on "Hecate", taken from the band's 2005 release, "Will". I haven't heard the song yet, but it's apparently one of the highlights on that record.
3) Midsummer
Steve is the long-time drummer for this band. My knowledge of this project is limited considering I just found out about them, but they've apparently released several EP's and are prepping a new full-length release in the coming months.
4) Dustin Morgan
I just recently discovered Dustin's jazz project. Don't be scared away by the Van Halen-ish method for naming the group... the music is uniquely atmospheric, reserved, and expertly constructed/performed. Does the group have any released material (CD, digital downloads, etc.)?
5) Developing Independent Artists
Frankie may not contribute musically to this effort, but the bands that appear on this ongoing series of releases (featuring So. Cal. high school students) would never have had the exposure without his guidance.
Am I missing any other projects?
Cheers,
edge
p.s. Any reference to singing backup for the Chili Peppers will be summarily dismissed as untruth.
