go periscope

So, we’re recording the final parts for the Go Periscope Mixtape. It’s got new songs, mashups, remixes, and features some of our favorite artists. Pretty much went crazy with different types of genres and tempo’s; while making it all sound GP. We are so excited for you to hear it! 

It’ll be released on Tuesday, September 7th, and It will be absolutely FREE. All we ask is that you spread around to all of your friends.

In the meantime, here’s the album art :)

My homies… We now have merch :)

We have limited edition American Apparel tank tops and t-shirts, and bracelets are on the way. They can be ordered at: www.districtlines.com/go-periscope.

Love. Peace. 

-Joshua & Florin

PS - Send us a picture of you or your friends wearing our shirts to our myspace or facebook and we’ll put em up on our website… because we will love you. 

Hello guys,

1) So, we have a new website up now (www.goperiscope.net). We will be updating it regularly with blog posts, pictures, new music, videos, and merch very soon. Also, you can listen to our entire debut album on it, for free! Booyah.

2) In other exciting news, we have been working on a mixtape full of new songs, mashups, and remixes. It will feature some of our, (and probably your) favorite artists. And best of all, it will be absolutely FREE. All we ask is that you spread around to all of your friends. 

The Go Periscope Mixtape will be released on September 7th. 

Double Booyah.

We <3 you. For real.

Our debut, full-length album is out! It is probably the coolest thing I have ever felt to be able to go onto iTunes and see our album. As an unsigned artist, it is crazy the amount of stuff that goes into creating an album. I mean, I guess it’s crazy whether being signed or not… but it is ESPECIALLY CRAZY when you are unsigned.

We wrote, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered every song on the album, in the third bedroom of our apartment. And with each track, we tried to create something that would stand on its own. We put everything that we had into this, and we really hope that you like it love it.

Tell your friends, family, enemies, pets, scuba instructors, everyone!

All kind of shennanigains will take place throughout the video, including some awesome appearances by Andrew De Torres (Danger Radio, The Scene Aesthetic) and Trevor Dahl (Plugin Stereo).

Go to www.goperiscope.net to see some pictures/videos from the video shoot I took with my iPhizzle! What a crazy long day! Totally worth it and I can’t wait to see the footage!

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the show on Saturday! The crowd was crazy! Over 1300 people! I can’t believe everyone fit!

We’ll be posting some video’s of the show soon! If you have any pictures of video’s send it over!

Hey everybody, we just found out that our song, “Emily” will be on MTV’s The Real World. This is one of the most surreal things ever. I have been watching The Real World since I was like 14, and to have this opportunity is just so cool. The episode will air on January 6th at 10PM! If you get a chance to watch it, let us know!

Thank you for spreading the word about us to your friends! It is the reason that all of this is all happening. We are so thankful to have your support.

Hug Life,

Hey there friends! It’s been a while since I’ve written to you. It’s about time I puke letters all over your screen again.

There have been some very interesting developments in the land of Altechnotronica (The musical land we kick it in). The environment has changed, and we have evolved as artists. Taking almost a year and over 1,000 hours, our debut album has been completed and sent to distributers. It’s been a very long road. A road paved with bear traps and home-made slip-n-slides.

We always knew we were going to release the album independently. Even with a few label talks, we pretty much knew that we set ourselves up backwards. Traditionally, you write an album (or a set) and start performing it, record a demo, and pitch the demo to labels for studio time. With the music industry in it’s current state, we decided that we were way too cool for that. With a plan somewhat resembling that of everyone’s new BFF: Owl City, we set out to Write/Record/Mix/Master a full record ourselves with the help of a trusty Macbook Pro, and an assortment of instruments (both digital and analog). Needless to say, many headaches ensued.

It was just me and Joshua in a third room we liked to call “The Studio”. A room where I almost suffocated trying to record vocals in the closet while being straddled by a mattress. Where countless cans of energy drinks were consumed. A room where we’d go to avoid that whole “sleep” craze everyone was talking about. While it may sound horrible now, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Perhaps we’ll get paid for it next time? If not in dolla dollar bills y’all, then your kind words of encouragement should suffice.

And then there was paperwork. On top of building your own website (with your own paws), scheduling your own shows, photo-shoots, designing your own brand and merchandise; you’re telling me that I need to fill out countless amounts of paperwork to validate it all? Sweet, where do I sign? Oh, here, and here, and here, and here. Do I see the value of a label, of management, of PR? Absolutely. A band is a business and as an artist, the more you realize that, the more disconnected you become from your craft. We were lucky in our ignorance. We set out for a 10 song album and ended up with 15 songs. With miles of inspiration, it was pretty easy to get carried away. I think it would be much harder doing a second album knowing now what we didn’t a year ago.

That being said, I am uncontrollably excited to release this album to the world. Our fuel thus far has been the support of all of you (our friends, family, & fans) and that’s a renewable resource (yes I did).

If you haven’t already checked it out, we released a new song on our myspace.

Coming up: New music, new videos, new pictures, that NEW NEW shit! I wish I could give you guys a solid release date for the album, but all I can say for now is, “VERY SOON!”

You following us on Twitter?

We’ve reached #1 on the top 5 requests for C89.5FM! Thanks to everyone who called in to get us up there! Next up, we’re trying to hit number one on the top 8 at 8!

We’re going to be playing two shows this week. Head over to our site’s Tour page to get more details! Also if you listen to C89.5 you can win tickets to Thursday’s show!

I want to thank you guys for asking to buy our music and I’d like to give you an update on the status of our album. We’re currently working out the best way to distribute our music in order to get it as widely available as possible. Our music will (at the latest) be available this winter. We may release a single before then as well.

I never imagined how hard it would be to get your music out there. It’s all fun and games until you have to get all legal and junk. I promise that we’re doing everything we can, and in the meantime if you really really can’t wait. Send us an email at goperiscope@gmail.com or by using our contact form here explaining why you think we should send you a free song.

Right on to the girl over there in the pink shirt.
