Atom Strange at Gotham rocks 12/5/09

It’s Monday and I’m still flying from Saturday! What a hell of a show.
I’ll start by thanking everyone who showed up to support Atom Strange. You guys were off the hook on Saturday night! You made the night a total success. Thank you! We trust you had an amazing time as well and hope to see you at more shows in the future.
Thanks to Mike, CT, and Natalie for putting on the Gotham Rocks show. Very good quality bands for a great night of hard rock! Appreciate what you guys are trying to do for the local rock scene.
So Saturday was rainy/snowy and pretty yuck outside. Many people would use that as an excuse to stay in and rent a movie or something, but not Atom Strange fans! The show must go on, and Atom Strange was very fortunate that their fans/friends didn’t let a little December weather keep them from showing their support.
Upon arrival to the club one of our guitarists Tom got an unfortunate call that his wife got into a car accident in a cab on the way to the club. Luckily she’ll be alright with a fractured tail-bone (OUCH). Tom had to rush to the hospital and Atom Strange continued on without him. Wishing you a quick recovery Yori!
Party going, drinks flowing, and finally Atom Strange takes the stage around 10:00. The energy from the crowd was contagious and I know the guys on stage sure felt every bit of it, and gave 200% in return.
One hell of a show! One hell of a show! One hell of a show!
Thanks for all the fists in the air on ‘Mine’ for singing along on ‘Come Together’, and for rocking hard to ‘Terminal’.
The set was made up of face melting rock music from start to finish… and finish unfortunately it did.
We gained a lot of new fans and friends who signed up for the mailing list too. As I promised, i won’t spam anyone! Just Atom Strange news 1-2x per month. We promise not to replace your porn subscription…
So with that we also want to say sorry to anyone who came to see us that we didn’t get to talk to. Seems there were so many people there and not enough time to catch up with everyone… though personally I tried unsuccessfully to have a shot with each person I knew.
Special thanks to Grace Lee for taking photos. We really appreciate you!
Will have pictures and videos posted from the show in the next few days!
Feel free to comment on the show or anything else…
Yours in drunken debauchery,
Rick – Atom Strange
COSMIC DISTURBANCE on it’s way soon!

So after more than year of work recording and mixing our second cd, it’s almost done! Last week we finished all the mixing for all 11 songs and now we just need one more session to make some subtle changes. With that done the mastering process is next then printing. So if all goes well, we should have the record finished and together by the beginning of 2010 with the record available from iTunes probably a little sooner. What a way to start off the decade!
In the meantime we are preparing for our next show in NYC at Crash Mansion on December 5th 2009. This will be a really fun show for all involved in that we have a great lineup for the night including PUI, Diablo Royale, Eve To Adam and more! And this will hopefully lead to some cool opportunities for ATOM STRANGE in the future so we really need all of our fans in the NYC area to come down and support, bring all of your friends and make lots of noise! We are after all doing this for all of you! Support local and independent music and come down to the party! There will be some cd giveaways, previews of the new cd and loads of fun for everyone!
See you there!

A wide selection of musical produce shared the aisles at Arlene’s Grocery on May 22, 2009. During each hour of the evening audiences sampled a different act: God Tiny(NYC, NY), Musiciens Sans Frontieres (NYC,NY), Cancel Winter (Toronto, Ontario), Measure (Brooklyn, NY), Atom Strange (NYC, NY), Fighter/Lover (Toronto, Ontario), and Ever Since (Thornwood, NY). Sound shoppers seemed to take a shine to Atom Strange whose heavier rock sway stood out among the lighter fare.
The Memorial Day weekend material drew from an album in the works and included a flowing “The Voice,” which showcased Dunn’s vibrato, and the quartet’s newest single, “Cosmic Disturbance,” available in hard-copy at shows. A fervent “Breathe” was followed by “The Hero Dies Alone” that highlighted Atom Strange’s psychedelic underpinnings, and “Terminal” that exemplified the band’s heavy metal roots, Dunn’s lung capacity, and his ability to lengthy wails. Undulating melodies and power chords of “On My Mind” segued into guitar-bending “Visor Burn” and spacey “Mine.” Closing with a vehement version of The Beatles’ “Come Together,” Atom Strange did not estrange their fans though their rendition seemed to make some diehard Beatles-followers uneasy at the start. In the end, Atom Strange’s stage presence and relentlessly pounding beats mesmerized these strangers into fandom.
