August 15, 2008 Hitch-hiking/Live Tour starting August 18th
Starting this Monday, Missing Scene’s music will make it’s way from Tokyo to Hokkaido by car. Whose car? Well, we don’t know yet…but look for us in Chiba on Monday, then Geoff will hitch north to play solo gigs in Ibaraki, Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate, and Hokkaido. Drop on by if you are in any of these areas for the holiday, and be sure to check the schedule as shows are being added all the time by friends and supporters of the band. And of course, if you see any of us on the highway, thumbs in the air, please stop!
See you up north!
June 29, 2008 New Missing Scene web site launched June 30th
Welcome to Missing Scene’s brand new website!
We're very excited about this--so excited, in fact, that we put it up without getting all of the data organized beforehand. Well, that's no problem. Just be sure to check back over the next two or three days as the folks over at Tokyo Republik, who put this together for us, are working fast to organize and keep it user-friendly. Be sure to check them out! And, if you have any comments on this site, we’d love to hear them, so please drop us a line on our Contact Us page.
So, have a look around. More pictures and video will be posted soon, and we'll be updating the schedule and blog pages regularly. There’s a lot going on, so stay in touch!
June 26, 2008 New music on the way
After the release of 2007's "Derelicts and Broken Dreams", Geoff Hash and the Missing Scene got back to work on several songs that had remained unfinished at the time of their first album's publication. They also began writing a wealth of new material for their upcoming album.
While "Derelicts" was considered by many to be a rather dark look into coming of age in both rural and urban America, as well as adjusting to life in a place without personal history, the new record (as of yet unnamed) captures more of the inspiring and positive side of the coin. One thing that is constant on both albums: Missing Scene is focused on breaking down the walls of genre and assembly-line pop to create a new kind of experience, one that is tangible, intelligent, and unique.
