Sophia
Speaks: The Veil's debut album. A ritual journey
of haunting lyrics, evoking ancient Goddesses, exotic locales, fevered
visions…

More Airplay

DJ George Maida (The Electric Croude, Saturday nights
at midnight on WCVE-FM,
88.9 in Richmond, Virginia) writes The
Veil with this note:
"I'm celebrating the first full weekend of Autumn and The Veil
takes a place of honor on the show with My Heart is Like a Lion
[from debut album Sophia Speaks]....I've segued from a clip
of Aragorn speaking with Eowyn during her sword practice. ....I
love this music. Happy Third Season!"
Thanks for the airplay, George!
DJ Jeff Robinson,
at WMBR 88.1 in Cambridge,
Massachusetts is debuting his new radio show "Poetry
Jam" (formerly entitled "Behind the Beat")
this Wednesday from 8-10pm EST. Jeff is the Spoken Word representative
on the station. He's set up a Yahoo Group for this show, and writes
our poet, Margarita: "The group will announce radio
guest and other activity for the show. I also want to use the group
to network and find potential phone interview talent for the show.

"What
a disc! I took it home to listen last night
and all I can say is wow. A musical tour de force!
Having recently produced a friend's CD I appreciate
the superlative engineering and production and writing."

Obscure
Eclecticism Rules
We're proud to announce that The Veil's single Fever
Vision was played on WCVE-FM
88.9 in Richmond, Virginia next Saturday night, August
16th. DJ (or "on-air personality" as they like to be known
nowadays) George Maida contacted us after receiving the new
compilation album Oasis Alternative No.23. Oasis
(free plug here) is the company we chose to manufacture our album,
and I'd recommend them to anyone - their service is fast, friendly
and there's always someone there to answer the phone if you have
a question. And, we've been completely satisfied with the quality
of our cds as well as the package printing. George played our track
as well as 11 others on his show The Electric Croude, starting
at midnight. Hmm, why is it our music seems to be favored by DJs
(lord love 'em) whose shift start in the wee hours? Maybe we appeal
to insomniacs.
By
the way, I think I've figured out what Alternative Rock is after
listening to the 77 tracks on the Oasis compilation. Ok, follow
me here: There are no "Rock" stations anymore. You've
got your Classic Rock, which plays what I was listening to in high
school and college. You can't get airplay on those stations unless
you happen to be Aerosmith or The Scorpions or some other band that
is now considered Classic Rock. That leaves the Alternative Rock
stations, which apparently play everything else. Is it rock? Who
knows. But the tracks on the Alternative CD range from folk rock
to modern rock to progressive to metal.
