"Red Rover" - The Scene Aesthetic


As our young protagonist flips through his bulletins, sipping mindlessly through his cup of tea, he speaks aloud to himself... "Let's see, so what happened today? Hey, Catherine wrote her third survey. That's cool. That Dir en grey contest for their new album is almost through. I guess that's interesting. Oh great, another chain letter. *yawn* What else? PlayRadioPlay! is talking about the death of TRL? Eh, I don't watch MTV anyway... Let's see... The Scene Aesthetic releases new song..."

At this point is probably where our protagonist, and possibly you, would have spit his tea in shock. Well, if this were that sort of cliché type of thing. But this is unbelievable news indeed; certainly news worthy of beverage spitting! The Scene Aesthetic?! New song?! Is it possible?! Apparently!

If you've been out of the loop, The Scene Aesthetic - Seattle duo of Andrew de Torres (also seen in Danger Radio) and Eric Bowley - is a wonderful alternative-folk-acoustic-pop-duo thing who have been making glorious acoustic sounds for several years now. But Mr. Eric Bowley announced some big news last year: he's going to Argentina! Serving the heavenly lord, Eric Bowley went to South America to focus his life with some missionary work. But there are no break ups here! The two boys promised to come back with a vengeance as soon as Eric returned to the states.

Well, as it happens, Eric Bowley is prepping to return! He's due back in December, when a grandiose party will certainly be thrown. But how better for fans and listeners everywhere to also join in on the celebration than with new tunes? After almost a solid year of hiatus, The Scene Aesthetic has released their first brand new song! "Red Rover" is the name, quiet reflection is the game. In true Scene Aesthetic style, with just enough emotional embracement, subtle tones, catchy lyrics, and just a lovely song, The Scene Aesthetic reminds their dedicated fans, their hiatus was not the end; Eric's return shall mark a new beginning!


Man, looking at all those pictures on TSA's Myspace is a trip down memory lane... old fans know what I'm talking about. So what can you do, be you an old friend or burgeoning listener? Well, if you live up in Washington, don't plan anything after Christmas and before New Years, because The Scene Aesthetic is going all out for Eric's return-home party-concert! Of course, "The Alamo Is No Place For Dancing," but if you live in Plano, Texas, wander to the Plano Center on December 28th when The Scene Aesthetic will be showing love to their massive Texan following. If you're unlucky, and not living around the Puget Sound or the DF-Dub, rush on over to The Scene Aesthetic's Myspace, and listen to their brand new track, "Red Rover," right now!
