Spotlight On: Trances Arc

I wanted to take out some time to put turn the preverbial spotlight on a new band that has come to my attention.  Trances Arc.  They are another fine example of the brilliant tunes that have derived from the Atlanta and/or Athens, Georgia area.

As some of you know, I am from the Northwest.  And ninety percent of the time, I am writing from a blog based in the Seattle area.  When I first started this gig, I was mostly writing soley about artists from the areas from Seatown down to Portland, in what I once refered to as the "Real Pacific Northwest" (basically no further east than the 5, for those who know what the hell I am talking about).  But, things have changed pretty drastically over the course of almost two years.  I have a few new stomping grounds.  I've had my fare share of Royal Mail delivered to me from artists in the London/Leeds/general England area.  Brooklyn, New York seems to have it's notice.  Several artists from the Baltimore area thanks to my connects over at The Beechfield Label.  And now, with my current correspondence with the good folks at Team Clermont, I have gotten to know the Atlanta and Athens area quite well (although, I must mention, the spotlighted individuals have no association with Team Clermont, although they should!)  Which brings me back to, sort of, to the band that started this whole blog in the "spotlight" that I have quite harshly ignored.  My bad fellas.

My buddy with The Fenbi International Superstars (yes, they always seem to make their way back to The Word) who goes by the name of Michael Phillips, sent me an e-mail with high regards for this band he once played with at a show in Georgia when he was traveling the country with his former group, who I once adored, The Young Immortals.  The connects were made, and I was introduced to the lovely world of Trances Arc. 

Trances Arc blends pop punk with a sort of surreal old school rock and roll feel that any one can enjoy.  Their style and grace is phenomenal, their 90's alternative influence is......

on second thought, just head over to Fensepost for my official word.  I just wanted to make this specific announcement on how much I enjoyed hearing these guys, and how honored I am to have had them recommended by such a talent as Michael Phillips himself.  Thanks Mike.  Keep the good words coming.  Ace in the hole with this one buddy!
