				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard by now, two local bands (Fierce Bad Rabbit and Wire Faces) had their practice space broken into and a lot of their gear stolen.  I&#8217;m going to keep my eyes peeled on Craigslist (Colorado, Wyoming&#8230;) and at local pawn shops, and even at concerts.  I hope you will join me and help these friends of ours find their gear.</p>

<p>Fierce Bad Rabbit has a album release show Monday, December 31 at Hodi&#8217;s Half Note for their full-length, Maestro and the Elephant.  Upon the news of the stolen gear, many community members offered more than enough gear until a permanent arrangement is made.  Colorado Drum and Percussion even offered up drum gear.</p>
<p>Wire Faces is running a Kickstarter campaign to help fund their upcoming full-length.  You can help them raise the money here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1314360267/wire-faces-new-full-length-album</p>
<p>Please help these two bands in the search for their gear!</p>

<p><strong>Candy Claws</strong> - <em>&#8220;Five Hands Of The Ice Queen&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/cc.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-998" alt="cc" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/cc-600x600.jpg" width="584" height="584" /></a><br />
</em></p>
<p><strong>Flinette</strong> - <em>&#8220;LJCA&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/154648_10101237236225515_1671528055_n.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-971" title="flinette" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/154648_10101237236225515_1671528055_n-600x511.jpeg" width="584" height="497" /></a><br />
Flinette&#8211;a made up french word, invented on the grass at a stranger&#8217;s high school graduation party&#8211;is composed of Tyler Gaul, and, intermittently, his friends and family whom he eagerly invites to play, sing, speak or laugh on his songs, somehow in hopes of securing their affection for him forever. Though originally hailing from Fort Collins, CO, Flinette now operates almost entirely out of assorted apartment bedrooms in Los Angeles, CA.</p>
<p><strong>We Are Not a Glumlot </strong>- <em>&#8220;The Tree&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/glumlot.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-964" title="glumlot" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/glumlot-600x400.jpeg" width="584" height="389" /></a>We Are Not a Glum Lot is an indie-rock group based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Their lineup consists of Sam Erickson (Main Vocals/Guitar), Zac Blum (Backup Vocals/Bass), Colin Foxwell (Violin/Guitar), and John Carey (Percussion).<br />
We Are Not a Glum Lot&#8217;s sound has been described as &#8220;jazzed-up indie-pop/math-rock, with a more palatable vocal theory that just screams out &#8217;80s art/punk/wave&#8221;. Unlike most indie rock groups, the band utilizes a violin, played by Colin Foxwell, ran through an amplifier and occasionally drenched in pedal effects to give their style a unique twist. While the band is still of high school age, they have been regarded as an important staple in their local music scene. Bill Forman of the Colorado Springs Independent referred to the group as &#8220;High School Prodigies&#8221;. Notable acts the band has opened for include: Tim Kasher (frontman of Cursive), O&#8217;Death, Andrew Jackson Jihad, and David Bazan.</p>
<p><strong>Grammatica</strong> - <em>&#8220;For Christmas&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/grammatica.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-988" title="grammatica" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/grammatica-600x800.jpeg" width="584" height="778" /></a></em>Grammatica is Aaron Landgraf. Sometimes he plays with friends, sometimes by himself.<em> </em></p>
<p><strong>Jumbo Catfish</strong> - <em>&#8220;Let&#8217;s Get The Hell Out Of Here&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/JumboCatfishDrinkinTea.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-968" title="JumboCatfishDrinkin'Tea" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/JumboCatfishDrinkinTea-600x896.jpeg" width="584" height="872" /></a>Jumbo Catfish is Justin Camilli&#8217;s solo project.  Although he currently resides in Vancouver, CA, he holds roots in Fort Collins, CO and Albuquerque, NM.  All songs are recorded in a small apartment with paper thin walls.  While live drums are always a preference, Jumbo resorts to incorporating effected drum machine samples into a lo-fi, guitar driven form of indie rock.  He takes influence more recently from artists such as Father John Misty and psychedelic-folk rockers, Woods. The songs are made and recorded in a bedroom but are meant to be played live.  Camilli hopes to form a practicing live band soon.</p>
<p><strong>Kaoti</strong> - <em>&#8220;Cedar&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/561348_310966428984047_70444132_n.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-967" title="kaoti" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/561348_310966428984047_70444132_n-600x631.jpeg" width="584" height="614" /></a>Megan and Kay live in the rainy city of Portland, OR. Together, they began the project called Kaoti, in search of making something greater than themselves. This holiday season, they reach to achieve the sound of winter dreams.</p>
<p><strong>The Kevin Costner Suicide Pact</strong> - <em>&#8220;Ave Maria&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/kcsp.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-970" title="kcsp" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/kcsp-600x400.jpeg" width="584" height="389" /></a>&#8220;The Kevin Costner Suicide Pact is a different breed of ambient/drone altogether. With a strangely humorous name that many either love or hate, this quartet of soundscapers is one of the most interesting and unique projects out there right now. Based in Denver, CO (which is known for a variety of musical scenes, but not particularly for its ambient artists) the foursome are creating sounds that remind one of William Bassinski’s sublime compositions which seem to be ever-unfolding, even long after the initial listening experience. This is music best served with a high gravity brew and a smoke-filled room of your closest friends.&#8221; &#8211; Rachel Evans, Foxy Digitalis</p>
<p><strong>Morgan and the Apostrophes</strong> - <em>&#8220;O Holy Night&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Kamas Realty</strong> - <em>&#8220;It Just Don&#8217;t Feel Like Christmas&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kamas-Realty.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-965 aligncenter" title="Kamas Realty" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kamas-Realty.jpg" width="480" height="353" /></a>Kamas Realty is the long distance musical collaboration of 3 cousins living in 3 different different US cities.  The name &#8220;Kamas Realty&#8221; comes from their Grandfather&#8217;s (a.k.a. Poppy&#8217;s) real estate business. While the members&#8217; real estate skills are limited that has not stopped them from carrying on the family name.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>M. Sage</strong> - <em>&#8220;Slow Noel&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/m-sage.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-983 aligncenter" title="m sage" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/m-sage.jpeg" width="500" height="500" /></a>M(atthew) Sage is from Fort Collins, Colorado, where he is currently an elected Poet Laureate. He operates PATIENT SOUNDS (intl), and plays in Kick Majestic and Wellington Downs. He also releases quiet home recordings of ambient music in his spare time. </em></p>

<p><strong>Sour Boy Bitter Girl</strong> - <em>&#8220;All I Want For Christmas Is The Spring&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/sbbg1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-1002" alt="sbbg" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/sbbg1-600x369.jpg" width="584" height="359" /></a>Always under the leadership of Benjamin Buttice (songwriter, composer, and artist), SBBG has consisted of some of the finest indie-rock musicians Colorado has to offer. Ranging from a solo, singer/songwriter act to a powerhouse-of-sound quintet, the music is as diverse as its members and influences. Benjamin&#8217;s lyrics weave the figurative/metaphorical world of deserts, seas, and wolves with the strife and rebellion of the average working, loving man, that create vivid imagery in a catchy way that is chanted and screamed from the hearts of his avid wolf-army fan base. The lyrics are supported with a powerful rhythm section, heavy keys and flamboyant drumming, fantastic electric guitar and organ leads, and an impressive amount of vocal harmonizing.</p>
<p><strong>A.M. Pleasure Assassins</strong> - <em>&#8220;Culmination Of A Dream&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/ampapicture.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-972" title="ampapicture" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/ampapicture-600x600.jpg" width="584" height="584" /></a>It plays punk rock in one form or another.</p>
<p><strong>Holdfast.</strong> - <em>&#8220;Illuminate The Dark Corners&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/holdfast.png"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-969" title="holdfast" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/holdfast-600x450.png" width="584" height="438" /></a>Holdfast. are Charlie(14), Michael(16), and Tom(11) Maddocks. We are students and cousins. Holdfast. are following in the footsteps of relatives, Dave and Tim Maddocks, and a fairly new band. Their name describes the bond shared between one another. Our sound can be related to Radiohead, The Shins, Modest Mouse, and Sixpence None The Richer with some folk characteristics.</p>
<p><strong>Lake Island</strong> - <em>&#8220;It Came Upon A Midnight Clear&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/lake-island.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-966" title="lake island" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/lake-island-600x398.jpeg" width="584" height="387" /></a>Lake Island is young band hailing from the Mountains of Utah. This new dynamic post rock band has tons of progressive energy and a charge like non other. With their reverb guitars and ambient sound washes. it&#8217;s truly a reverb paradise. These boys are heading into the studio at the end of the year to record their debut EP. Look for more of this young band early next year.</p>
<p><strong>J. Alonzo w/ Marta Isernia</strong> - <em>&#8220;Baby, It&#8217;s Cold Outside&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/jalonzo1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-1004" alt="jalonzo" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/jalonzo1-600x399.jpg" width="584" height="388" /></a> J. Alonzo is soft, slow, moving songs continuously aiming to discover the difference between a house and a home.  His music has been described as the sound of creaking before an avalanche.  J. Alonzo makes music from home and friend&#8217;s studio spaces in Fort Collins, Colorado.  He also lends a hand as guitarist and vocalist in Sour Boy Bitter Girl and You Me &amp; Apollo.</p>
<p><strong>Slow Magic</strong> - <em>&#8220;Your Heart Beats&#8221;</em><strong><br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/slow-magic.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-973" title="slow magic" alt="" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/slow-magic-600x399.jpeg" width="584" height="388" /></a> </strong>Slow Magic is music by your imaginary friend.</p>
<p><strong>StaG </strong>- <em>&#8220;Code of the Schoolyard&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/stag.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-999" alt="stag" src="http://actsobigforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/stag-600x449.jpg" width="584" height="437" /></a></em></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;</strong>The formerly Los Angeles area-based duo recently moved to Boulder, Colorado shortly before beginning work on the full-length, and you can hear the influences of both states in their beautifully-crafted sound.<br />
Sharing the vocal spotlight, band members Matt McGuire and Will Walden feel equally confident in front of the microphone—providing such a sense of unity that it is often hard to tell their vocal styling apart from each other. Where StaG departs from other bands trying to replicate the fuzzed-out sounds of the ‘60s is the prominence and clarity given to the vocal lines and lyrics. To StaG, the voice is not merely part of the texture, but a necessary focal point, making tracks like “Tired” and “Morsels (For a Task)” take on a quasi-operatic quality.&#8221;</p>

<p>Friends, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard of <strong>Community Funded</strong>, but just in case here&#8217;s some background.</p>
<p>Mission: To create tools that enable individuals and organizations to connect with the necessary resources to achieve their objectives.</p>
<p><strong>Community Funded </strong>connects people, ideas and resources in historic new ways, empowers our communities, and promotes “grass-roots economic recovery.” Anything’s possible when it’s <strong>Community Funded</strong>.</p>
<p><em>To submit a project, send your ideas in to &#8211; projects@CommunityFunded.com</em></p>
<p>The website launches tomorrow and they are hosting a Flash Fund to get the first projects funded. The idea behind the Flash Fund is best described as follows:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;What we are asking is a simple 10 and 2. No, not like you learn in driving school. This 10 and 2 is $10 and 2 people and it is quite simple. </strong></p>
<p>Just:<br />
1. Go to www.communityfunded.com<br />
2. Register as a user if you haven&#8217;t already<br />
3. Choose a project to give $10 to (feel free to do more if you are so inclined).<br />
THEN, get 2 people to do the same.<br />
Next, they will each get two people and before we know it&#8230; voila. We can easily get all of our projects funded.&#8221;<em></em></p>
<p>You can join the fun at www.communityfunded.com and check out the Flash Fund <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/299288326816711/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to read about a new project we really believe in. Community is something we all need, and this project embraces that.</p>
<p>-Jonathan</p>
