Halos Were Found at the Landing Site/Rock Formation/Tubucu-Tonight @ Canal Street Tavern

...with the word on the street hinting at the possibility that labels are starting to sniff around following a couple of high-profile appearances during CMJ week, you'd do yourself good to go and check out Halos Were Found At The Landing Site tonight at Canal Street Tavern. Arriving somewhere near the intersection of Radiohead/Minus the Bear/Sigur Ros/Death Cab for Cutie, their sound most certainly has the potential of propelling them into bigger things soon. Also on the bill this evening will be Rock Formation and Tubucu....

Halos will be found at CMJ

Local band to play CMJ Music Marathon in New York

By Kris Neises | Thursday, September 20, 2007, 07:15 PM

Every autumn CMJ (College Music Journal) magazine hosts one of the world’s largest music and film festivals in New York City.

This year’s festival is scheduled for October 16th - 20th and will feature hundreds of bands from across the country including such big names as Spoon, Mates of State, Islands, British Sea Power, Meat Puppets, and Mike Kinsella. (get full list at www.cmj.com)

This year will also feature Dayton’s own young and talented sonic-alt-rock band Halos Were Found At the Landing Site.

Through a bulletin posted on the band’s myspace page (myspace.com/haloswerefoundatthelandingsite) they announced they would be “invading New York” in order to “take part” in the CMJ music Marathon.

Halo’s buzz is louder than ever not only because of their upcoming showcase for CMJ, but also because of their new distribution deal with Yuzu Music.

Fans cannot get enough of the Hum meets Minus the Bears energetic 4-piece. The band even created a second myspace page (myspace.com/demoswerefoundatthelandingsite) just so hungry fans could listen to their practices and demos and get a sense of the band’s new material.

The band is playing two area shows to gear up for the jaunt to New York. They will be at the Poison Room in Cincinnati on October 6th and at the Rumba Cafe in Columbus on October 12th.
