Rise Against movie coming December 5th
For two weeks in July, 2006, Davy followed his friends’ band Rise Against around the country on Warped Tour with fellow filmmakers David Meiklejohn and Rachel Dengiz. Geffen Records has just announced that their film “How We Survive” will be released December 5th on a Rise Against DVD called Generation Lost. We’ve got a few great outtakes and the full story of how the movie came to be right HERE. (with link to 21 balloons page)
Il Surfista Solitario di Montana, Kansas
We’ve just gotten word that Davy’s book of short stories, The Lone Surfer of Montana, Kansas, will be published in Italy in 2007. Dario Morgante, an editor at CONIGLIO, based in Rome, has been the driving force behind the project; he says he stumbled across the book at an independent bookstore in Bristol, U.K., and was dazzled. Plenty more Lone Surfer news here. Order a signed copy of the English-language version with a personal inscription from our 21 Balloons store.
New Music for Virtuosos
We’re thrilled to announce the release of Anvil’s striking debut, New Music for Virtuosos, on November 7th! The early buzz has been incredible–rave reviews in XLR8R, Real Detroit Weekly, and The San Francisco Bay Guardian. What’s been most exciting to us is the enthusiastic response from all corners; punk rockers, hip-hop heads, ravers–everyone seems to be feelin’ this shit. Hit the 21 Balloons Anvil page to listen to sample tracks and find out more about the album, or jump to the 21 Balloons store and pick up a copy now! (with links)
