This Sunday (Oct. 12th) we'll be at a live chat at Auralgasms online. 10pm-11pm EST. (7pm-8pm PST)
The show Aural Bliss will be playing a Monster Track =). They have a live chat room that we will be hanging out in. The last time we did it it was pretty fun. Come and hang out with us =).
Another review for Two Headed Monster is in. Check it out here, at Fazer Magazine.
Thanks Mike Bax
Here's a little excerpt
...a totally unique listening experience. If you’re willing to jump on for the ride, Two Headed Monster will take you places most commercial releases cannot - and that’s right into the minds of it’s two creators. Another thought: Collide are not a band you want to rip into your computer at 128 bits and expect great things from. Two Headed Monster is headphone music of the highest order. Don’t sell yourself sort and accept truncated computer files as a means of playing the CD. Collide is some heady stuff - so treat it as such.
So this was a long time in coming...after many, many, many hours of work, updating and lots of help in design and overall planning from our very smart and very wise friend, Dave Keffer, we have a brand new website!!
It's got tons of stuff on it...check it out and see. We would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks Dave...we love you long time.
Tune into Dekadance on KSCU 103.3 FM (Santa Clarita CA) for an online simulcast airing Friday, Oct 3rd (tonight) from 9pm until Saturday, Oct 4th at 1am Pacific Daylight time when the fabulous E.O. will be featuring Collide and spinning the new CD, as well as lots of other Collide and Secret Meeting material.
Thanks E.O.!!!
We are thrilled to present Two Headed Monster. The official release date is September 23rd. Pre-sale starts now!!!! The first 200 people to order from our store also get a free signed poster of the album. Aside from the two of us, some of our friends were kind enough to lend their talents to the CD, including Danny Carey from TOOL and Dean Garcia of Curve, as well as all of the Collide live band, Rogerio Silva, Kai Kurosawa, Scott Landes, and Chaz Pease. We look forward to sharing it with you and the rest of the world. Please help us get the news out.
We are getting soooooo close to being finished Two Headed Monster that we can almost taste it. We hope that you are as excited as we are. Mastering is done and we just finished up artwork... for an official release date of September 23- 08!!!
Next week or so, we will give you a sneak peek at the cover and the track list. For now, we just wanted to keep you up to date. If you haven't been checking out our blog on MySpace (myspace.com/collide) you've been missing out on some of the daily happenings during the last few months.

There was someone who turned in a piece of artwork to the last Saints & Sinners contest. Although it was not right for the contest, we did like the artwork and are going to include it on the CD. The piece was called Collide Angel. Would the person who submitted the piece please contact us at collide@collide.net We lost your contact and we want to make sure we give you credit on the CD and we also want to make sure to send you a copy when it's done. When you e-mail us, please include artwork so we know you are the right person and your mailing address.
Lastly, please help us spread the news...this time more than ever we need all the help we can get getting the word out there.
Finally an update on the new Collide CD. After three years of work, we are getting closer to the end. We can almost taste it. As you have probably realized with us by now, everything takes awhile. To us, the most important thing is to make something that we really believe in and that just takes time. The vocals are now complete and we are in the final stages. It always feels strange when you are coming to the end of something that you have worked a long time on... like something you do not want to let go... yet can't wait to let go of. It's not over yet...we still have some finishing up details to do, we will keep you updated.
It will be called... Two Headed Monster.
Lots more news to come...so stay tuned.
For those of you who are interested in seeing Collide live..the DVD is a great way to get that experience in your own living room. The DVD is packed full of stuff...a full live concert, an interview (funny if we do say so ourselves), photos, videos, and an acoustic performance. To get a taste of what's on the DVD we have posted a trailer on our video page.
For the next month (until June 15th) we are having a contest for Saints & Sinners which is the line of handmade accessories and clothing designed by kaRIN and handmade here at the studio. We are looking for some new artwork that we love. We know that lots of you are creative and we want to see what you can do. There are no restrictions, it could be Collide related, or not.
The winner will be chosen and we will make you a custom Saints & Sinners shirt, or ID case (your choice) and your artwork will be featured in an upcoming newsletter.
So send us your artwork entry here.
If it is something that we absolutely love (we are fussy) and would like to possibly add on to the line, we will ask you if we can license it from you and pay you $200 in trade from the Noiseplus store, or make $200 in special custom pieces for you.
Meanwhile in time for summer...Saints & Sinners girls tank tops and boys T-shirts are on sale for an extra special price. This will be for a limited time.
