Mark Lassiter: News Updates

Me, John Foutz and Justin Kates met over at The Sunset Club in Charlotte on Thursday to discuss the shoot for the One More Second video. This club is incredible! Infrared systems control video screens on each ceiling. There is custom furniture, dance floor, VIP rooms, personalized humidores, full stocked bar and the place is beautiful. Many thanks to Rick and Michael for letting us use the place. Check it out on South Blvd...
We got a couple of "committments" from actors who work at the joint to be in the vid. You know who you are and "Thanks!"
The next step is coming up with a story board using photographs of the location shots. It's going to take place at night in Charlotte so we are using the skyline esthetic. Very exciting!!
In other news, I just sent my new single to Divakar at 106.5 The End radio station in Charlotte. Listen for the world debut of the song on "90 Minutes with Divakar" on Sunday nights at 8:30PM. Talk to you soon!

DJ Zack Daggy is playing "Living Past" on his podcast at www.mothpod.com on podcast #151!!

Engineer Bruce Irvine and Mark went on the radion on WEND 106.5FM with Divakar on the indie and local music show "90 Minutes." Divakar was very excited about the project and process of Living Past. Namely, having nearly 30 legendary session players and rock band members from Collective Soul to Foo Fighters. Bruce said it was "the coolest" thing he has ever been involved with... A big statement coming from a veteren engineer with well over 20 years in the business! Divakar also played two songs, "10,000 Years" and "Goodbye, Sunshine". It was very exciting for us!!

Podcaster and music reviewer Zack Daggy has chosen my album Living Past as the "Moth Pick of the Week" on his indie music podcast. Go to www.mothpod.com to check it out!! And don't forget, our CD release party is this coming Saturday at 7PM in Mt. Gilead, NC at The Ford Place on Main Street!! Go here to find out more: http://thefordplace.homestead.com/Events.html

Go to www.myspace.com/marklassiterband to hear the full version of Through the Raindrops Remix by Funtastic Power! It's a video game techno remix of an acoustic inspirational song I wrote.

"Working with Mark was cool. In fact, he may be a bit of a musical visionary. Case in point, he hired an industrial rock/metal producer to remix a beautifully arranged acoustic track and it turned out great!"

Ryan Hoyle and I are interviewing with 106.5FM WEND DJ Divakar corresponding to the release of Living Past! Hopefully we'll get to spin a few songs. Tune in if you are in the Charlotte area or listen to the streaming audio at www.1065.com. I'll let you know the exact date very soon!! Thanks, Mark.
