I’ve started hearing back from a few of the fans who attended Projekt Fest 2002. Its so nice to know that people enjoyed our show! We weren’t sure how folks would take to our Jazzy new sound, but it seems like it was a success. And my kazoo was a big hit! Looks like we might have a half dozen shows set up this year when everything is verified. Big stuff, for us! We’re thinking about adding...

Lovespirals - Windblown Kiss (Projekt): Love Spirals Downwards remove the “Downwards,” dispense with the electronic beats of Flux, and change the singer, but remain as ethereally innocuous as ever, if a bit more eclectic. — Angry Robot Pretty much to the point, eh? I looked up “innocuous” just to make sure that there actually is a positive use for it. Ha ha!

Lovespirals are included on the new compilation CD, Blisscent Vol. 1, which showcases Indie, Dream Pop, and Shoegazer acts popular on the underground radio show, Blisscent.

Got back from Philly last night. We enjoyed ProjektFest more than we anticipated. It was fun to hang with Audra and Mira at the after parties, and to see old pals like Roachie, Johnny, Lisa etc… There’s some talk of us doing a West Coast tour with Mira this Summer, which would be really cool! We especially hope to hit Portland and San Francisco, where we have friends and family. Keep posted...

A new Lovespirals interview has been posted at Jive’s online magazine. The print edition is due out June 1st. An mp3 of “Love Survives,” a new unreleased track, is included in Jive’s music section.

We leave tommarrow for ProjektFest! I’m still fussing with last minute packing, but I’m almost there…. Wish us luck!

Mp3.com is featuring the revised Ecstatic EP as their Hot Pick CDs for Electronica. It is also the featured CD in the Ambient Drum ‘n’ Bass Top 40. Several tracks from the EP are currently in the Top 40, as well.

Cool! I see our mp3.com page has gone well over 100,000 plays this month. I always wonder who listens, if the same people keep coming back over and over, if they listen to every song or not, and that sort of thing. I tend to download the songs I like by other bands, and play them in my iTunes library. I like to make stations, too, like my Dream-Pop Losing Today-inspired stations. Hey, that reminds me,...

May 2002, Jive Magazine, Russ Marshalek Q: When did the Ryan/Anji collaborations begin, and how did that come to be? Is it a 50/50 sort of artistic collaboration, with one person writing music and the other writing vocals? Anji: Ryan and I started working together late 1998, early 1999. We pretty much hooked up through my radio show on KUCI 88.9fm (in Irvine, CA). He had me come over to his studio to check out...

I’ve been thinking that it would be nice to do a few short tours to support the album. We could try to set up small West Coast and East Coast tours, plus a show or two in Mexico, at the very least… No idea how we’d go about booking it, though. I wonder if we should try to travel with another Projekt band or two, or just go it solo? We’ll have to talk to everybody at ProjektFest, to...
