The Micronite Filters launch Kickstarter for sexy-psychedelic red and white swirled vinyl release

Canadian Rock/blues band, The Micronite Filters launch Kickstarter for sexy-psychedelic red and white swirled vinyl release of their new album ‘Wizard Blood’.


There is a bevy of awesome rewards available, including T-shirts, BBQ party, make a video with the band, make the band learn ANY cover song, and lots more including exclusive content. Supporters will also receive an IMMEDIATE download of Wizard Blood upon pledging.

The Micronite Filters continue to make hips and fists shake, with their gritty, southern-fried rock and roll. In 2012 they went down South to Mississippi and recorded the album 'Chasing Ghosts' with famed artist/producer Jimbo Mathus (the Squirrel Nut Zippers, Buddy Guy, The Tri-state Coalition). Since then they've brought some of that southern vibe back north, and have conceived another album's worth of material, now called Wizard Blood. They want to put the new album on some super-psychedelic-swirly-red vinyl for the best auditory experience possible.


We hope you'll consider spreading the word during the course of the campaign, which runs until December 21. Check out videos for Breadcrumbs, Wizard Finger, and Hellhound On My Trail, and more to come at youtube.com/TheMicroniteFilters

The Micronite Filters 2013 Chasing Ghosts Release Shows

The Micronite Filters release ‘Chasing Ghosts’ album January 29, 2013 album release shows January 24 Oshawa, 25 Toronto, & 26 Peterborough


Oshawa rock and roll band The Micronite Filters will officially release their new album ‘Chasing Ghosts’ on January 29 on Get Bent Records.

The album release shows are January 24th at the Atria in Oshawa, 25th at the Bovine in Toronto, and 26th at The Spill in Peterborough. They will be joined by Toronto’s own Little Foot Long Foot, and Peterborough two-piece the Charming Ruins for all three shows.

The Micronite Filters have been rocking Ontario for a few years, bringing a heaviness to hip-shaking Mississippi blues that’s sure to get the whole room dancing and stomping, highly evident on last summer’s EP The Wrong Side of the Tracks (June, 2012).

For ‘Chasing Ghosts’, they traveled South to Mississippi to record with artist/producer Jimbo Mathus (The Squirrel Nut Zippers, Buddy Guy, the Tri-state Coalition). The new album captures the vibe of The South, the birthplace of blues and rock and roll, and will ‘appeal to all lovers of the ‘down and dirty’ grooves produced by the likes of The Black Keys and The North Mississippi Allstars, as well as a firm nod to the older bluesmen from the North Mississippi hill country”- Grahame Rhodes, Blues In The NorthWest.com

Watch the first video for single ‘The Ballad of the Banker’s Son’



Be sure to see them live, they’ll kick your ass you’ll still come back dancin’!


The Micronite Filters ‘Chasing Ghosts’ album release shows with Little Foot Long Foot, and the Charming Ruins:



January 24: Oshawa, The Atria, 59 King St. East

January 25: Toronto, The Bovine, 542 Queen St. West

Canada

These days I received an e-mail from getbentrecords.com - Noise that thinks ...

Howdy!

We're sending you the latest offering from new Canadian bluesy rockers The Micronite Filters. This 4-song EP called The Wrong Side of the Tracks is full of groove-heavy rhythm driving, dirty slick guitar sliding, key swinging, horn blowing, and well written word wailing. And it features some stellar vocals by Joan Smith of Toronto band Little Foot Long Foot.

Its a Canadian take on North Mississippi Hill country blues, alla The North Mississippi Allstars, R.L. Burnside etc... and would fit right in with the sounds of Seasick Steve etc...


You can listen to it online here:

Here's what some recent reviews have said:
"These shifty Canucks rock the blues like Ronnie Hawkin's demon seeds" - Rubber City Review, July 14, 2012

"A bluesier, more soulful version of proto-hard rock acts...tweaking the acid rock formula just enough to sound new again"
Benjamin Boles, Now Magazine January 7, 2012

"These dudes play music that hits you in your friggen guts. Body moving and toe tapping...they leave you with a feeling that's almost post-coital"
- Durham-live.com, March 7, 2012

Its just a taste of what these MF's are cooking...they recently returned from a trip down to Oxford, MS to record with Mississippi hillbilly Jimbo Mathus (the Squirrel Nut Zippers, James Mathus and his Knockdown Society, Jimbo and the Tri-state Coalition). The new album will be one greasy-ass record, and looks to be the band's first full length vinyl - woohoo! So check out this EP, and stay tuned for more MF'n stuff. The band hopes to return to the US for a tour when the new album is done. In the mean time please enjoy the EP and share it with your friends, fans, and foes! And if you'd like a hard copy, send us a mailing address and we'll mail you one!
