The Secret Machines, once pegged the next Pink Floyd (by me) after the release of the continously-play-from-start-to-finish Now Here Is Nowhere, and then screwed that up with the follow-up of the more commercial and pop-driven Ten Silver Drops have got some new album news.TSM, now drummer Josh Garza, multi-instrumentalist Brandon Curtis and new guitarist Phil Karnats, who replaced Curtis' littl...
When the Secret Machines released their first album Now Here is Nowhere back in 2004 fans of psychedelic music finally had something else to listen to other than Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of the Moon. The trio compromised of bassist Brandon Curtis, guitarist (and brother) Benjamin Curtis and drummer Josh Garza stood out from NYC bands creating music and a debut, that could be played continuously, .
This was the first song of their's I've heard, and that was just a couple of nights ago. So an expert I am not.If you know the music of Amplifier, you will notice a similarity. What grabbed me was the unchanging drum accompaniement to the gradual crescendo that left me breathless.Worth a listen.(Anybody else notice how challenging it can be to come up with something brilliant to say night after ni
The Secret Machines at the "Theater of Living Arts":http://www.livenation.com/venue/getVenue/venueId/1681, PhiladelphiaAn observation: the band you listen to at home may not be the band you see live.Could there be a greater divide between the two faces of a band than with The Secret Machines? One would expect some difference in sheer volume; most venues are, amazingly, not suited for musical pe...
The Secret Machines show last night was excellent. They had a "theater in the round" stage, basically a circular array set up in the middle of the floor and everyone stood around it. Since it was such a small venue and stage it was really imtimate and the lighting was really cool. They sounded much better than last time a saw them and their new material is really exciting live. The opened with ...

The band, who lost guitarist, Benjamin Curtis to the band School of Seven Bells, has enlisted new guitarist Phil Karnats, who they know from their pre-NYC days in Dallas, Texas. Benjamin and Phil played together in Tripping Daisy and later in...
Today I bought 2 tickets to see Secret Machines at the Crystal Ballroom on October 19th. This is good for two reasons, one, that Secret Machines is a great band and, two, that I went to see them once before and left soon after they came onstage. Why? Let me tell you a little story about the time I went to see Secret Mahines open for Interpol on October 24th, 2004. I'd gotten dumped by my girlfr...

This Saturday's track is the title track from Secret Machines' debut Now Here Is Nowhere. It's the album's final track and is essentially a long reprise of the track “Nowhere Again” (which was the group's first single and the song that made me like the group). This is quite a long track (the only other track longer than this one on the album is the nine-minute opening song) but it's well wor
The Secret Machines -- In the RoundAvalon Ballroom, Boston2006.10.04Incense swirling, green go-gos providing faint illumination, building sound supplying a background to the cheer arising from the crowd…three musicians quietly approach the stage, give a small nod to the audience and to each other, and launch us on a 90-minute odyssey of captivating, inspiring music.Warning: The music you hear i.
Any band that channels the orchestral psychedelia of Pink Floyd is befitting a cosmic laser show as opposed to merely the iTunes visualizer. The Secret Machines' sophomoric piece, Ten Silver Drops, is a sweeping symphony of intricate, story-line lyrics, piano, synthesizers, and clamorous drums. Singer Brandon Curtis's velvety voice further enhances the album with a haunting melancholy air in un...
