Seattle's ESTRADASPHERE have provided the following update on their upcoming projects for 2008 and beyond.
“The post-Palace of Mirrors psychic explosion that Estradasphere has endured is frying all manners of new synapses…
While the band as a whole will maintain a low profile for the next several months (during bass player/producer Tim Smolens' adaptation to fatherhood), there will be ample opportunity throughout the US and Europe to see smaller-format versions of Estradasphere featuring various combinations of the members, as well as the members' other current projects, including Timb and Jason's outings with the Secret Chiefs 3, Jason's upcoming solo album 'The Orange Tulip Conspiracy', and Timb's new trio with Gyan Riley and Scott Amendola.
Meanwhile, Estradasphere has just wrapped up some fruitful work in the studio with Amander Palmer (Dresden Dolls). After stumbling upon the band at a gig in her hometown of Boston in 2007, Amanda immediately proposed that she and the band do a project together. Tim, Timb, and Jason spent several months arranging and recording several of her tunes, which are now sitting on the pad waiting to be launched. In the meantime, Amanda will appear with Estradasphere this summer at the Rothbury Music Festival. Keep an eye out for future live and studio collaborations between these strange bedfellows…”
The band released 'Palace of Mirrors' for THE END RECORDS in 2006 and the accompanying DVD 'Palace of Mirrors Live' last fall.
