It’s been too long/There’s too much to be said
Hey everyone- great news. ACH just got featured on Absolutepunk.net’s Self Promotion Spotlight, in which the staff over at AP picks out the best from the Self Promotion forums and gives them a leg up by putting them right on the front page of the site for all to see. This is truly an honor, and we’re really excited about it. Also, our song Maybe, It’s Vanity from our first EP just hit #4 on the Ourstage.com Electronic/Electropop channel. Another big achievement, especially considering Ourstage’s amazing voting system is foolproof- this means that there’s no possibility of vote tampering, and that the votes reflect exactly what people looking for new music think of us. Apparently you guys on Ourstage think pretty highly of us, and quite frankly, we’re flattered. In other big news, ACH is scoring a piece for a dance performance at Drew University, Kris’ alma mater. It should be about 6.5 minutes in length, and may incorporate elements of a few as-of-yet unheard ACH songs. There’s also a good chance of it being released for free in the near future, so if you want a sneak peek at what we’ve been up to, come back in mid-December once the show is over and hopefully we’ll have a little something for you to snack on until the record drops. I’d just like to take this moment and express my affection for Sam Adams’ Cherry Wheat. Thank you. You are tasty. Oh yeah…we didn’t make the top 5 for mtvU’s Woodie Awards…but that’s ok. With failure comes perspective, and I (Kris) had one of those moments where I realized just how far we’ve come since the spring of ‘07. When posting on the Self Promotion Forums for Absolutepunk, I included a list of accomplishments. I realized while writing them up that there are countless bands out there who never even see a fraction of the success we’ve seen. Not to say that we’ve arrived or anything, but there’s so many bands out there that never even leave the garage and whose songs are never even heard by people two towns over. We’ve managed to get listened to by people all over the globe, get featured on major music websites, collaborate with awesome artists (THANK YOU STACY CLARK FOR BEING AMAZING), get reviewed, and garner label attention all with relative ease. I’m not sure exactly what that all means, but it’s a great feeling. Thanks to everyone who’s ever given us even 10 seconds of listening on our myspace before deciding we’re not their style- that’s 10 seconds more than I ever would have expected of anyone a few years ago. OK, enough gushing. You guys are great, we’re having fun, and there’s more music on the way, so take care and don’t let the state of the world get you down- brighten it in your own way. See you around, Kris

Um, oops.
So I haven’t written in here in months. Truth be told, A City Heart has slowed down quite a bit lately, as we’ve been busy with other ventures. I’m starting a new job at Novartis Pharmaceuticals, and Dustin is only days away from releasing Let Your Yes Be Yes with Ely Falls (you have to [...]
