Since last posting here, there have been some developments in the world of Numerics. To bring you up to speed, we are going to cover them in chronological order.

We played an acoustic show at Red Rooster in Nashville as part of Ditto Music's Live Battle of the Bands series. We came in second on our night, and had alot of great support from alot of great people. If you were there, we sincerely appreciate your attendance, attention, and vote. If you weren't, you should have been. We won't hold it against you though. Here is video from that night.

Back in November 2010, we traveled to Chicago, Illinois, to record at Tesla Studios. We recorded a song called "Reminder", a song about reminding yourself to live in the present tense. It was a really great experience. We have mastered the song, and it is now available on our channels. Click the picture for a FREE download of the song. While you're at it, admire Kyle Kelly's design for the cover.

We have provided our Facebook page, Twitter page, and Homepage with facelifts in light of this new material. Please give them a look, and like and/or follow us if you are not doing so already.

Lastly, we are playing a FREE show in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on Friday July 29, 2011 at The Boro.

Thanks for your attention.

"Through the Cracks" music video

2011-01-10T15:17:00.000-08:00

Hey, here's our video for the song "Through the Cracks" We filmed it last year in Nashville, TN. We shot half of it in our old residence and the other half in our new habitat. Once again, we had Cameron McCasland directing and calling the shots. Working with Cameron is always a pleasure and its always cool to see what we can come up with together. This video features 3 actors, Hannah Paulson, Devin Vaughan, and Pavanh Sivongxay. They did a great job. It was our first time to use actors in a video, but we feel they really gave this video the extra something it needed.

The story behind the video is about a person who undergoes a type of voluntary science experiment. Once she hears the songs, she begins to see things. The results of the experiment are the hallucinations and disarray that follows. The concept is pretty out there, but we felt it fit well with the chaotic nature of the song.

We were really pleased to get 200 views in 2 days on Youtube. Especially after the work and energy we put into it. Check it out, leave a comment, let us know what you think.

Also, the record "Proud to be a Numerican" which features this song, "Through the Cracks" is available for free download here FREEmusic.Numericsband.com

Thanks for stopping by,

Live & Acoustic

2010-10-24T21:02:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone,

We wanted to let you know that we have a new release available for download. Once again, its free.

Back in August we went down to Atlanta to play an acoustic set at Smith's Olde Bar. We recorded the show, and wanted to share the songs with you. Each song can be found on our debut release "Proud to be a Numerican." However, we changed the feel and arrangement of the songs to give them a more unplugged vibe.

Please download the songs, listen, and let us know what you think. Just go to the link below.
freemusic.numericsband.com

Also, we have a new video coming out in the next month or so. It is for the song "Through the Cracks" and was directed by filmmaker Cameron McCasland. We will also be releasing a 2 song electric single, an album of studio acoustic recordings, and a special one song single that we will be recording in Chicago. More details soon.

In the meantime find us on twitter, facebook, and youtube.

We would love to hear from you.

Enjoy your day,

Parrish & Lloyd

New songs, new video, new masters, Numerics.

2010-08-25T11:27:00.000-07:00

We have released the mastered version of “Proud to be a Numerican.” We could not be happier with the way the mastering brought out the details in our songs. Finally the songs are in their final form and you can download the new versions here.

This updated version was mastered at Soundstage Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, with Randy LeRoy and it includes two new instrumental tracks. The instrumentals are titled “Elefantes em Marcha” and “10 lbs.”

A documentary that we filmed while recording and mixing the record called “A Matter of Combustion” has been posted and it can be seen here. Making the record was a lot of work, and we wanted to give you a glimpse into our recording process. Many thanks to Cameron McCasland for coming into the studio and making it happen.

We are really pleased with how these two projects turned out, and we are very glad to share them with you.

You are always hearing from us, but we want to hear more from you. Let us know what you think of our songs, our videos, our posts.
We need some feedback.

Numerics Releases "Proud to be a Numerican" for free download.

Nashville, TN - October 23, 2009 - Rock duo Numerics has released its debut collection titled "Proud to be a Numerican." The songs are available for free download on their homepage numericsband.com

This project has been a long time coming for this Memphis born, Nashville raised outfit. Members Parrish and Lloyd began writing these songs just over two years ago in Memphis where a majority of "Proud to be a Numerican" was recorded. About this lead vocalist and bassist Parrish says, "It took a while, but now it is finally available. We worked very hard on this, ensuring that quality for the listener was priority number one." The band relocated to Nashville in the Spring of 2008, where they felt more comfortable basing their new musical venture and more capable of completing their debut.

The lead track for this release, "Precious Time," which won several awards for its accompanying music video, is about "human connections," says guitarist and vocalist Lloyd. Other tracks include "Your Favorite Two," and "The Storm (In Your Eyes)." Lloyd says of the tracks,"Our goal was to put together a collection of songs that were consistent in their quality and also varied in their sensibilities. The songs also provide a framework from which to grow."

The band will be releasing hard copy CD's with packaging and bonus tracks. Also, upcoming for Numerics is a short film documentary titled "A Matter of Combustion." This documentary will give an overview of the recording of "Proud to be a Numerican."

Numerics Brings Home Gold At Hermes

Indie Rock finds home at Hermes Awards

Nashville, TN (05.04.09) Nashville based independent recording
artists Numerics received The Golden Hermes Award for its debut
music video “Precious Time.” The award winning video was directed
by Cameron McCasland and produced by Michael Creason of New
Valiant Productions.

Numerics is a collaboration of Memphis natives Parrish and Lloyd.
Together they are making music that thrives in recorded formats
and captivates listeners in live settings. Numerics concentrates on
concise song arrangements, imaginative lyrics, and distinct tonal
qualities.

Numerics' Lloyd said of the award, “We are glad to get a Hermes
because it acknowledges forward thinking and the use of new media
to connect with your audience. As a new band, the Internet is the
best way for us to get the word out, and this is recognition that we're
on the right track."

“Precious Time” was launched on the web in early April and climbed
the myspace.com video charts into the top 40. The debut video is the
first single from their upcoming album “Proud to Be a Numerican”
which will be released in the summer of 2009.

“Precious Time” was begun in Memphis with experimental audio
engineer Daniel Lynn. After tracking the album in Memphis, Numerics
brought the project to Nashville, utilizing legendary Soundstage
Studios and a close working relationship with expert mixing engineer
Stephen Jones to complete “Proud to Be a Numerican.” The video
for “Precious Time” was directed by Cameron McCasland and
produced by Michael Creason in the band's home state of
Tennessee along the music highway between Nashville and Memphis.

The Hermes Awards are administered and judged by the Association
of Marketing and Communication Professionals. The international
organization consists of several thousand creative professionals.
The Association oversees awards and recognition programs, provides
judges and sets standards for excellence. For more information
