disBAND: The Isosceles Project

December 11th, 2008

If you didn’t catch The Isosceles Project on disBAND last night, fear not, cause we’ll have the whole thing online for you to enjoy shortly. Here’s what the band had to say about their experience on the show!

Wow. We hope everyone else had as much fun watching that episode as we did. As much as it makes it look like we hate MuchMusic and everything (which we do), we really have nothing bad to say here. The episode captured everything our band is about, and they let us go on national TV and play a 13-minute song. What more can you really ask for? We obviously have to thank our beautiful audience for coming out to the performance. They’re the reason we’re in a band playing what we want to play.

Our “Preditor” (producer/editor) Adam Rathwell was a stand-up guy throughout the shooting. He and his crew were totally down with our decision to stay instrumental and stick to our guns. We know more than anybody that our band has no business being on MuchMusic, and we’re not at all interested in trying to cater to their audience. But we would have been stupid pass up this opportunity to gain such a massive amount of exposure for our music.

Hopefully, this episode might open people’s musical minds a little. It would be nice if more people knew that music doesn’t have to be four chords and three minutes long. But if that’s your thing, that’s your thing. We are fully aware that the market for our kind of music is small. But it is there. We would rather have a meaningful career playing the music we love to the people who love it than compromise ourselves for a bunch of tweens. Sorry.

So of course, we fully predicted what the judges would say. I guess the footage didn’t make it into the episode, but we totally knew the judges would tell us to disBAND because our music isn’t written for them. Afterwards, the person who was most disappointed in the verdict was Greig! Sure, we were dicks to him at first (can you blame us?), but Greig was fully on board by the end. He is a genuinely nice guy just trying to do his job, and his wig was awesome.

We don’t have much more to say. This episode respresented us as a band perfectly. You all know what we’re about so if you can handle it come see us at a show sometime!
