"Country House" on Area 108.


This past Sunday night, they got it right: "Country House" debuted on Area 108 during the local music show.

So, it took two-plus years and our second full-length CD before it happened, but we've finally cracked Las Vegas radio.  The irony of it all is that we were on college radio from coast to coast when we released 'Suspicion' yet we couldn't find a station to play us here in our hometown.

Regardless, there's always turnover at radio stations and new people with new outlooks on music come in and that's how change happens.  So we are very, very pleased that Joe at 107.9 took to liking our album enough to play us.  Hopefully, we'll become a weekly staple on the show.  But that can only happen if you help!  Call or e-mail the station and request "Country House" or anything you want to hear from 'Conjure' for that matter and hopefully they'll begin working us into the show more and more.

Conjure Reviewed: Rebel Yell 11/17/08


No, it's not a Billy Idol fanzine reviewing 'Conjure', rather, it is the University of Nevada-Las Vegas newspaper which just gave our new album some praise.  You can read the entire review here.

I will paraphrase some of the best bits, which include "Ice On The Equator" being referred to as a controlled explosion of sound and the latter of the two "Skeleton" songs bearing a melody reminiscent of a haunting tune in an old music box.

Little by little, the word about us is getting out there.

Tonight, 11/23/08 on 107.9 for sure???


We were assured via e-mail a song from 'Conjure' would blast from radios all over Las Vegas on Area 108's local show at 10pm last Sunday night.

That didn't happen.

We really couldn't understand what was going on with the show that night, quite frankly.  It was perplexing to say the least.

But if you check their website here you will see they have listed us by name as part of their "three for all" where they debut three new artists/songs on the show.

So, once again, please listen to the show tonight and BLAST them with thank you's for playing your favorite band and bringing some quality music to the program.

Next Bleachers Performance: 12/10/08 Beauty Bar


Confirmation has arrived!  The next Bleachers performance will be at The Beauty Bar here in Las Vegas, Wednesday, December 10 at 10pm SHARP.  This will likely be the LAST Bleachers show of the year, so come out and support us!

There are several bands coming in from out of town and we will be the opening act.  Our time may be limited to around 30 minutes or so, it is quite important to be there on time if you wish to see our entire set.

In addition to this being quite likely the last show of this year, it is unknown when we will play live next year.  We have been writing quite a few songs (if you've been to the shows since the summer, you've heard a number of them) and once we resolve some studio software issues and recording gear updates, we will most likely be recording all through the first few months of the year.

House of Blues Performance Recap: 11/20/08


We wish to thank everyone who turned out to see us last night for our House of Blues performance.  Some of you showed up a little late and expressed sadness that you didn't get to see much of our performance.  While we apologize for that, we are usually playing at a venue that dictates the start times and is quite strict about holding to those times.

The House of Blues had a severe time limit this past Thursday, as there were just too many bands on the bill.  The amount of songs we could play was quite limited as a result and we just didn't want to push the time constraints. Song list as follows:

01. Wasteland
02. When You Lose
03. History
04. Gone For Good
05. Last Day Of Our Acquaintance
06. Citysong
07. Do You Wanna Dance?

This upcoming Sunday night, 11/16/08, Area 108 will be playing a song from 'Conjure' during the "Local 107.9 Show" which airs from 10pm - 11pm.  This is the national radio debut for our new record and we're very excited to be selected for the show.

Please support us this Sunday night by calling in (702.732.1079) and letting them know you loved The Bleachers song they played (whichever one it might be, they haven't told us) and you want to hear more from our band on their radio station.

If you don't like talking on the phone, you can e-mail the host of Local 107.9, Joe Sacco and tell him you want to hear more of The Bleachers on his show every Sunday night.

So, tune in this Sunday night, November 16 at 10pm to Area 108 (107.9 fm), listen for The Bleachers and then let them know you want more. This is an opportunity for everyone to help make a difference in local music!
