"LA107.7 Producer Review of Carbonaut's "Open Door Closing""

LA radio 107.7 producer reviews:

Dave,
The other week you sent me A few audio tracks of the band CARBONAUT. I told you that I would play at least one song on my station geared to the surfer community, LA107.7. I have been playing the song since I received it and it has been a huge hit. As you may or may not know, the U.S. X-Games were held here in California the other week. Before the surfing competition, Two (2) of the surfers that were going to compete, asked if they could use the song, Open Door Closing, by CARBONAUT, in their mix track while they were in the water. I have them the go-ahead and they used them. While I cannot release the name of the surfers, I can say that they loved the song, as well as other surfers, and numerous fans in the crowd. It seemed to me that the song went over as a GREAT hit!! I thank you for giving me the music and I will continue to use the tracks here in my station, as the songs are going over very well with the general population. I will also Keep you updated on any more information on the tracks and reviews on them. Also, there was about 300 music tracks used in the X-Games and we make a CD from the games to put out in the stores. They take about 50 of the 300 for the CD. I cannot tell you if they will pick Open Door Closing or not, but I can tell you it is going over very will in this area. Please pass this information on to the band and let them know that any other music, please send it out ASAP so we can continue to play their music.
Thank you very much for your time and for opening us up to this amazing band who has great potential to go very far.

Yours in Radio Life,

Bio

I started this band out of frustration and unfulfillment. Something was missing in music and i felt it was time to combine a true poet (chad) with music set not in verse refrain order but rather set to an idea or a feeling. For instance, our song, Secret Song is basically a dear john letter, a single sentance with a beat likened to a typewriter with stops at the end of each line and finally an extended stop before the post script. We strive to stay away from the trite aspects of music while still embracing the beauty found in simplicity. Our song "Open Door Closing" is a perfect example of this as it is one of our longest songs yet one of the simplest and still is being played on the radio in Los Angeles. It has been in steady rotation on LA107.7 and was actually requested to be played by 2 surfers in an X-Games competetion while they were in the water. Due to crowd reaction and these surfers affintity for the song it is now in the running to be on the X-Games compliation cd. While still another song "Little Planet Optimum" will be on the Skratch Magazine Indie Compilation vol. 8 in mid-fall. We truly strive for uniqueness in all aspects of our music yet most times it simply rolls off our tongues and fingers. -Nick
