Into the Future...Collide on NCIS

We are starting 2009 with a BANG!!!

We have some GREAT news... our song "Head Spin" from Two Headed Monster has been included on the NCIS Soundtrack!!!.

NCIS is currently the #1 TV series in the US with 20 million viewers per week. NCIS has used Collide's music in Abby's lab since the inception of the show, so we are super thrilled to be included on the soundtrack.

The soundtrack is a 2 disc CD. Disc two features music from Abby's Lab. Abby (Pauley Perrette), is the ultra loveable perky goth, who works in the forensics lab and listens to cool music, including Collide.

All of the music on the soundtrack is set for prominent placement in NCIS episodes beginning in January. You can hear Collide on the show on Tuesday Jan 6th 8pm ET/PT. At the end of the show they will announce the music featured on that nights show.

The NCIS website is very cool and interactive with the entire track listing, NCIS Soundtrack News, Artists Bios, 90 second clips of each song, links to fan sites and artists websites, and song lyrics available for those songs with vocals.

The soundtrack is now available on Amazon for Pre-Order.

Here is the track listing:

Question

Question

There was someone who turned in a piece of artwork to the last Saints & Sinners contest. Although it was not right for the contest, we did like the artwork and are going to include it on the CD. The piece was called Collide Angel. Would the person who submitted the piece please contact us at collide@collide.net We lost your contact and we want to make sure we give you credit on the CD and we also want to make sure to send you a copy when it's done. When you e-mail us, please include artwork so we know you are the right person and your mailing address.

Lastly, please help us spread the news...this time more than ever we need all the help we can get getting the word out there.

New Collide album...Two Headed Monster

New Collide album...Two Headed Monster

Finally an update on the new Collide CD. After three years of work, we are getting closer to the end. We can almost taste it. As you have probably realized with us by now, everything takes awhile. To us, the most important thing is to make something that we really believe in and that just takes time. The vocals are now complete and we are in the final stages. It always feels strange when you are coming to the end of something that you have worked a long time on... like something you do not want to let go... yet can't wait to let go of. It's not over yet...we still have some finishing up details to do, we will keep you updated.

It will be called... Two Headed Monster.

Lots more news to come...so stay tuned.

New album and collaborating

We're still in the middle of working on our new (still untitled) album. Like we've said before, working on a Collide album is never a fast process...there is still lots more work to do. There are about 21 song ideas on the table now...so we will see what happens.

Other Creative Happenings

In other creative happenings, both kaRIN and myself have been working on a couple of songs with Dean Garcia of Curve. We aren't sure where these songs will be released, but at the moment, we're just going song by song, and everyone involved seems excited to work on more material.

kaRIN is also working on some vocals with Mike Fisher of Amish Rake Fight/ formally Machines and Loving Grace. Mike, for those who don't remember, did a great remix of Slither Thing, which appeared on Vortex, which incidentally started the whole Vortex remix ball rolling.

New Collide song in a film

New Collide song in a film

With the help of Scott Landes on guitar, we have written a new song for an independent film called Dreamland. It is an emotive "feel good" kind of song called 'Utopia' which is featured at the resolve of the film.

“ Dreamland is the story of a young woman who has taken care of everyone around her but ultimately learns to take care of herself. It is also the story of how those whose lives she touched must find the strength to let her go. "

" The film centers around an eighteen-year-old Audrey who lives in Dreamland, a small cluster of mobile homes located somewhere in the middle of the vast, dusty desert of New Mexico. This tiny, sun-drenched oasis is also home to Audrey's best friend, Calista, who dreams of beauty pageants and love affairs while struggling with illness and fear of the future. Dependable, level-headed Audrey is equally uncertain about what the future holds. Surrounded by loved ones who need taking care of, including her devoted, agoraphobic father and the ethereal Calista, Audrey can't imagine a life away from the familiar open skies and languid pace of Dreamland. At the same time, her poetry reflects a deep longing for something more. The arrival of a teenage boy, spending a last summer with his family before college, awakens something in Audrey. Poised in the still, breathless moment between adolescence and adulthood, she must decide what sort of life she wants to lead.

First-time feature filmmaker Jason Matzner has crafted a deeply felt drama that boasts strong performances all around, particularly from Agnes Bruckner; her portrayal of Audrey is one of the highlights of this visually stunning and emotionally charged film."

Cast : Agnes Bruckner, Kelli Garner, John Corbett, Justin Long, Gina Gershon In further good news, the film has been accepted into the Sundance Film festival.
