My Reminder Video + Summer Darling Plays With Sebadoh

What a whirlwind weekend it has been!!! On our way to begin filming the music video for "My Reminder" we got the call that we were opening Sebadoh's sold-out show at the Echoplex in Los Angeles. Through the gracious flexibility of our road and filming crew we were able to film the video while simultaneously performing a blistering set of new and old jams for a packed house last night by shuttling back and forth from the venue to the shoot location. It was an unbelievable experience to film an exciting video as well as an honor to perform with legendary and influential artists Sebadoh!!

We can't wait to premier this video. We've included a couple of stills from the shoot. You may not be able to tell but the whole shoot took place outside in the pouring freezing, rain of Los Angeles' biggest winter storm this year to date. The shoot continues today.

Summer Darling To Perform at Local Folk Fest with Nico Stai + Voxhaul Broadcast

We are excited to announce that we will be performing at Local Folk Fest alongside our good friends Nico Stai + Voxhaul Broadcast, Sea of Cortez and more Saturday, March 5th! Tickets are on sale now.

Drummer Search + New Material + "My Reminder" Video

Though it seems to be all quiet on the western front for us in Summer Darling, it's been quite the contrary. We've been auditioning drummers to some success and we hope to announce a new full time member soon. We've also been hard at work writing new material for our next record, and while we have a couple of songs in the can, there's still many more ideas to be fleshed out.

This month we will film the video for "My Reminder" under the direction of Adam Penn. We've already begun doing some various photo shoots for it, but we don't want to spoil the concept just yet by letting you all in on it...

Finally, Heather has been busy recording the new Kissing Cousins EP/Double 7" with the talented S Foye. Be on the lookout for this amazing new release in April.

Summer Darling Shoots Video for "At The Edge Of The Earth"

Recently, we spent a cold stormy day in a Santa Monica sound stage filming the music video for "At The Edge Of The Earth" in front of a green screen under the talented direction of Christopher Batty and his crew. We won't tell you the concept now, that would be just plain rude, but we will say that it is certainly epic!

Todd's Final Show + Looking Ahead to 2011

It is with a complicated mix of bittersweet emotions to announce that Todd Spitzer, our drummer for the last 3 years, is moving on. The split is more than amicable; we are excited to support Todd as he continues his life on the East coast. Todd has been the drummer for the entirety of the making, release, and touring of Summer Darling, our self-titled record we released in July on Origami Vinyl and will be sorely missed.

2011 finds the remaining members, Dan, Heather, and Ben, working on the next Summer Darling record while we search for a new drummer. The band has the skeletons for 8 new songs, and has already recorded another new song tentatively titled "Hello Liars" (which will be the last SD recording to feature Todd on drums), but hasn't any definitive plans on how or when it will be released. Furthermore, expect the release of more music videos in the first half of 2011. "At the Edge of the Earth" and "Son" have been shot and are in the editing phase while there are plans to shoot as many as three more in the coming months.

Summer Darling will be performing with Todd for the last time at the Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco Friday, December 17th with our dear friends Silian Rail. Todd would like to thank the supporters of Summer Darling and wishes them all the best for this holiday season and the coming year.

Santa Cruz / San Jose / Danville Canceled

It is with deep regret that we announce the cancelation of three shows on our upcoming California tour: Santa Cruz, San Jose, and Danville. An unexpected personal issue has arisen that needs immediate attention. Please forgive the short notice. We hope to return to these cities in 2011.
