"Perfect Day" video clip from "Step Into Liquid"

So, you may know that the ultra-rare TSD track "Perfect Day" is available here in the Rarities section, and that it was used in the film "Step Into Liquid". But have you actually seen the movie? It's quite good, even for non-surfers (like me).

If you don't have time to check out the whole thing, here's the clip with the song:

New articles, fundraising updates

A rebuild of sorts is underway behind the scenes, but I've said that every month since forever, so take it for what it's worth.

In the meantime, a few pieces for you:

The KICKSTARTER project has been a smashing success, as the fundraising goal of $5,000 already beaten with 46 days to go (as of the posting of this update). Make sure you check the update section for new info from the band, such as information about how the money will be spent:

The studio costs $65hr so the majority will be spent in that fashion, but if the donations continue to roll in we will definitely make an awesome over the top packaged version of this album for everyone or get Richie Sambora to design a special T-shirt with rhinestones on it.

And you have to love this:

As a little primer in early September we are going into Zippah for 2 days to record a few old TSD numbers (Horses and Pacemaker) which we will send your way as soon as they're done.

Boston.com (August 20, 2010) wrote an article about the reformation: "Kickstart the Jams - The Sheila Divine returns, thanks to its fans"

From the Boston Phoenix (August 16, 2010): "The Sheila Divine reunite, tap Kickstarter to fund new album"

AtomicNed.com (by Chip Midnight): "The Sheila Divine is ready to record, needs our help"

... and finally, a copy of the commercial that everyone's been trying to unearth for years, it seems. At long last, the Cambridge Soundworks commercial featuring "Opportune Moment":

New show (in Belgium, but still)! New album? Actual news?!

Yes! TSD is back in action!

... in Belgium, anyway. Saturday, September 4th at the Crammerock Festival

You're on your own with translating that last link.

If any of our Belgian friends goes to the show and takes pictures or finds a way to record any portion of the performance ... well, you know how to reach the archive. You know what to do :)

As you may know, the Archive is a fan-run website that has fallen into a state of semi-neglect over the past few months, and I have no one to blame for that but myself. But by the looks of things, business is about to pick up, at least a little bit.

I was caught off-guard, though, and am in the midst of a cross-country move - which means I don't have access to my computer at the moment, just internet blog use. So I can't get working on getting everything here up to speed just yet.

At any rate, please check back for details and additional reunion news in as timely a manner as I can post it.

Thanks for your patience, everyone.

Rock!
