Luke Temple new 7" and SXSW

Luke Temple recently finished work on an upcoming volume of the highly exclusive and prestigious SEVEN INCH PROJECT, which will be released in limited availability on February 26, 2008. The 7” is titled “Brain”. Two new songs, “They’re Gonna Land” and “You Could Be Anywhere”, can be found on Luke’s MySpace page ( http://www.myspace.com/luketemple). Brain will be available exclusively through the Seven Inch Project website and at Luke’s shows. Brain can be purchased here: http://seveninchproject.com/store.html.

According to the Seven Inch Project, it’s “a vinyl record label that releases Limited Edition Collectible 7-inch (45-rpm) records. Each record is a Volume in the seven-inch project series & each Volume is by a different artist.” Previous Seven Inch Project artists include Lullatone (Audio Dregs), Half-Handed Cloud (Asthmatic Kitty), and June Madrona (Bicycle Records) Check out: http://www.seveninchproject.com/ for more info.

Next, Luke has announced that he will be recording and releasing a good bit of new material in 2008. According to Luke, “Working with a new band has been really inspiring for me. My plan is to write and record as much as possible in the New Year and having a stable group to collaborate with adds a whole new dimension to that process.” Luke is kicking off the initiative this weekend, laying down new material in a giant and open secret location on Manhattan’s Westside.

Luke will also be crossing the pond to play a few shows in the UK and France in early March. He’ll be back in time for a few sets at this year’s SXSW Music Conference in Austin, TX.
