Do you guys have music for Fake Arms up somewhere? I've been scouring pretty hard for it and it'd be a dream to get at it. Even a tuning would be swell

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 23:21:51 -0500

Fake Arms is in Open D tuning. No music put together yet, but we’ll put something together.

Hi! I absolutely adore you guys! I would reaaaaaally like to play anywhere but where i am on the piano but the sheet music link is dead :( :( Can you please fix it or sent me the sheets? Please please please? I can't stop listening to it! :)

Where in Wisconsin are you guys from? How do we get you to come to Green Bay and play a show?

Thu, 14 Feb 2013 09:20:52 -0600

We are from a town called West Bend about 40 minutes north of MIlwaukee. We will be up in Wisconsin at the end of this month but unfortunately no Green Bay this time around! Next time.

Did you realize there's a ton of dance music DJ's who seem to be singing your praises? How do you explain this...?

We’ve heard that our music has reached the island of Ibiza…

Hey everyone, click on the link below to download sheet music for “Anywhere But Where I Am”

Anywhere But Where I Am

I'm in love with your music, and I'm desperate picking at my piano to play "Anywhere But Where I Am" but I find myself lacking talent and motivation to pick it all out by ear. I would love love love if you posted the sheet music, the song is stuck in my fingers and head. Much love.

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 13:19:17 -0600

This is actually quite a common request, so on behalf of all those who have asked I will be posting the sheet music up here on our website. Please enjoy, and if you so desire, send along a video of you performing it. Would be so awesome to see someone else’s interpretation! And as always, thanks for listening.

New Official Video for our song “Fake Arms”. My cat Simmel is a natural.

I love your music, it is heavenly. It's makes me feel like I am floating. Sometimes after taking my chemo med, I don't feel so well, and your music helps to take my mind off of myself and just cool out. Thank you so much!

We’re so happy to hear that we can help…in any way…no matter how small it may be. Thanks for listening.

The FiveThreeSix: The Best of 2012:

fivethreesix:

We’ve never done end of the year lists mostly because we’re a really charming combo of lazy and indecisive, but for whatever reason the other day I made a list on my phone of my top albums for 2012 and I figured I’d share them. Undoubtedly I forgot at least a few greats but whatever, here are the…

Some Things May Go

Sun, 04 Nov 2012 11:28:29 -0600

Hi Everyone,

It’s Brian. Sometimes when you’re in a touring band…things can get stressful. Your van breaks down and you have to drive multiple members multiple ways by friends to get you to the show, so you can get to the next town. One person gets sick, and you try to believe in Emergen-C…though it rarely prevents the whole party getting sick. You forget a small, but vital piece of your show at the last venue, and have to scrap together a way to play the music you want people to hear.

You don’t have anywhere to go, or anyone to be around other than your three or four friends who are dealing with the same anxiety you are at that moment. But the best part about being in a touring band is that you’re truly in it together. You can’t go anywhere or move on with your journey without the person beside you, and vice versa.

Anyway…last night one of those stressful and heartbreaking things happened to us after a show in Atlanta.

Our beloved Jo-Jo. Great (Grey) and mighty Vandalf. The Grey Pipe.

Your van is your home on tour and our home was broken in to. Our laptop that we use for all of our virtual instruments was stolen (the synths we need, my favorite DK, yes Donkey Kong, instrument for So Many Foreign Homes). An iPad and molded in-ears (our drummer uses these so he can hear and stay on with us correctly) were stolen. A couple passports too, though I don’t believe we can do anything musically with those anyways.

It all comes out to about $2000 worth of stuff we use to play shows…probably sitting on Craigslist somewhere, not getting as much as it should.

If you happen to live in Atlanta and see a Macbook Pro for sale that has a black hard shell, blue/rainy background and anything with Eric Hillman’s name in any documents. Likewise for an iPad 2 with a matte screen protector and black case and anything with Aaron Tosti in it. And lastly, Tosti’s molded in-ears were gone. If you think you might have the same ears as Tosti, well, good for you. He has good ears. (But really, if you see a post about them, it would be greatly appreciated to contact us below).

FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE: Please email foreignfieldsmusic@gmail.com

Lastly, we’re poor. None of this was financed by anyone other than the band. We don’t have tour support, and we haven’t got much to throw towards these things. Donating $1, $5, or even $10 will go a long way towards helping us give you the show we want to again.

Thank you for reading and thank you to anyone who helps us out. It will go a long way. We’ll see you soon.

Are you planning on touring the Midwest (specifically playing a show in Wisconsin)?

Sat, 03 Nov 2012 10:42:16 -0500

We’ll actually be heading up to the Midwest coming up in November. We’ll be playing shows in Chicago, Milwaukee and Madison!

How did you produce the wind-like sound on the end of the song, Anywhere But Where I Am?

Sat, 03 Nov 2012 10:40:35 -0500

It’s actually a field recording of a train in France.

Please list your names with corresponding intruments played on the album.

Sat, 03 Nov 2012 10:36:32 -0500

Eric Hillman - vocals, keys, synths, drums, production, acoustic guitar

Brian Holl - vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar

Charles Asch, Hitoshi Yamaguchi - Cello
