August 2015
AirCrash Detectives are pleased to announce the release of
Shock Therapy on August 7th 2015. The release will consist of a live
show at Southland Ballroom in Raleigh NC, at 8pm. This event will consist of a
number of unique ideas that will be launched simultaneously in a bid to put
AirCrash Detectives on the musical map and on the road to fame and fortune.
We are indebted to our sponsors Telepathic Graphics Inc for
making this event possible, as well as the resources and creativity of Carolina
Reprographics, Osceloa Studios, DiscMakers, Southland Ballroom, Sunglasses
Ville and Big Bad Ben Lightshows.
Employing some local and international star power to insure
the music experience is first class, Bob Boyle [ Vocals ] Chad Lister [ Guitar
and Vocals ] Chad Berger [ Piano, Craven Melon ] Steve Nieve [ Piano, Elvis
Costello/ Attractions/ Imposters ] to name but a few this 8 piece band will be
ready to make some noise. A pulsating indie sound with lush harmonies will be
sure to woo the audience into their lair of complex lyrics and meaningful
social commentary.
Order of Events
AirCrash Detectives
Shock Therapy Game App will be available to play during the concert. They
believe and declare to be the first band worldwide to have it’s own game app
based on the music. Please feel free to voice your opinion
AirCrash Detectives
Shock Therapy video animation will play continuously during the concert through
the venue’s flat screens and video projector. The animation will enhance the
concert attendee’s visual experience and sense of wellbeing. We post updates as
the animation progresses, you can view on You Tube
Rose Tinted Glasses initiative ‘See The World Through A
Whole New Lens ‘ has taken on a life of
it’s own. The participation on Facebook has been encouraging and will launch
the night of the release. The premise is to do one fantastic or average thing
every day outside your comfort zone to have a positive impact on a person less
fortunate than yourself. We are looking for a corporate sponsor for this,
please contact us for more information. Canon’s new N100 real time technology
will enable us to post as it happens.
All participants will receive a pair of AirCrash Detectives
‘Rose Tinted Glasses’ and a CD of ‘Shock Therapy’ Participant’s requirements
are to drink heartily at the open bar and cheer enthusiastically at the
appropriate times. All of the night’s festivities will be filmed for the Rose

acts of kindness will be recorded.

AirCrash Detectives - The Story - Rose Tinted Glasses
The bill read like this Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Larry Wallis, Wreckless Eric and Micky Jupp, April 04, 1978. A shy 14 year old who couldn't see very well, liberated by two strokes of the keyboard on Watching the Detectives and Lipstick Vogue. I said to myself, I want to be that guy, alas no chops for that, but not a bad first concert though, I have to be content with writing and singing. Cheers Steve!
Fast forward to July of 2015 and the impending release of Shock Therapy on August 7th 2015. We are playing at Southland Ballroom in Raleigh. All welcome.
The biggest problem facing an artist is distinguishing themselves from a crowd. The internet has created a double edge sword in that anyone can post their music to one of a thousand sites and hope someone has more than a 3 second attention span to have a listen. Realizing the problem, AirCrash Detectives will resort to shameless self promotion and as many gimmicks as we can think of to promote our record. Our first idea was to produce a pair of Rose Tinted Glasses to go along with the song, see the picture above, they will be available at our release party, the first 250 will be asked to wear them during the night as we make our video for release in October 2015. We ask that you take a selfie and post it to our FB wall, which has taken on a life of it's own. You may stop by our office at 6001 Chapel Hill Road, Suite 106, Raleigh, NC, 27607 for a free pair of Rose Tinted Glasses before the release date.
The second idea we had was to create an animated video, that will play on our you tube channel, while you listen to the songs, we have posted the first minute just to get some feedback and see how it presents itself, music will follow later, we think it will be very soothing and would also make a great screen saver. Let me know if you would like this and I will send you a link. It will eventually run for 4 minutes and do some very cool stuff. The folks at Carolina Reprographics are doing an amazing job.

The third idea is to create a game app with the music embedded into it, to my knowledge this has not been done before. This poses several problems, but I know their are some very talented people out there who can solve this for us. Shock Therapy - The Album - The Game
The game app and the embedding of the music are not the problem, it will be the delivery system. So if any of you folks out there from Apple, Google or Microsoft want have a chat feel free to get in touch, we will have a preview ready 07/15/15
These ideas are created and sponsored by the very talented folks at Telepathic Graphics Inc, they love a challenge and enjoy the thinking outside the box. The keys to success are always getting the buy in, first internally and then externally. It's easy to gauge the first part and then we'll wait and see if Shock Therapy becomes a world beater!
Did I mention the music? The folks over at Osceola Studios in Raleigh did a great job on the production, a special thanks to Chad Lister and Dick Hodgin for their patience and attention to detail. Also thanks to our Special Guest on keyboards Steve Nieve who added some great moments to the record. You may have a sneak peak at the link below, you may download the AirCrash Detectives music app there, it will be released August 7th 2015 and be available through iTunes, Spotify, Amazon etc. Your feedback and comments are most welcome. See you August 7th 2015
