Everyones Help Is NEEDED!!!!

 

On the Laughing City forum tsl726 posted this really amazing idea that EVERY Eisley fan NEEDS to get in on:


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I was visiting a local starbucks the other day and I came up with this random idea about how starbucks should sponsor hard working bands while on tour by providing free drinks and so on. I asked the manager if he knew of a way to send that idea to the people that can make it happen. He told me about the website where starbucks pretty much recruits ideas and suggestions. So I posted my idea and included how Eisley would be a great band to start off this sponsorship deal. The system works by votes after a large number of votes it can go into a review by the company so go get your votes in and lets make this thing happen.

thanks

You do have to register but it only takes a quick second and SYP thinks this is an amazing idea and oppurtunity for the band and Starbucks. So PLEASE help out!

Interviews

06/17/2008


SYP - Stacy and Sherri seem to get asked to do backing vocals quite a bit...who would the band want to do backing vocals for an EISLEY song? And beyond that, who would they enjoy collaborating with?

Garron - I do a lot of background vocals for 50 CENT. JK…I don’t really have an answer for this question.


SYP - What music do Weston/Garron listen to, and are influenced by?

Garron - I listen to a lot of things, and some of them I would list as one of my “influences”, but really a lot of the things that I think influence me don’t really show through in my bass playing. But I have always been influenced a lot by the Beatles. But I also listen to a band called Kent (their album “Hagnesta Hill” is one of my top 5 favorite albums ever I think), Mew, Iron & Wine, Ben Folds, Avril (her first album), and Jeremy Enigk. Things like that…


SYP - Would Christie ever do any guest vocals on an Eisley song? Or do you think it's better to let her do her own thing and grow as a solo artist?

Garron - I don’t know, ask Christie.


SYP - Will Chauntelle have a bigger role vocally and/or in the writing process for songs being written now and in the future? Do you want her to?

Garron - Yeah dood.


SYP - Have you seen a change in how Chauntelle carries herself on stage and/or off? Have people encouraging her singing so enthusiastically changed her at all? What are your thoughts on all that?

Garron - I think Chauntelle’s pretty cool.


SYP - Can you describe your songwriting process(es)?


Garron - I hear the song, I'm like “what would be a cool part for this song”, and I play it.

SYP - What is one question you get asked a lot in interviews that you're sick of answering?

Garron - I get really tired of the “so… you guy all family, huh?”… My general thought when we get this in almost every interview is “C’mon! If that’s all you wanted to know you shoulda just gone to wiki-freakin-pedia man!” Haha. And also the “So where did you guys get your name?”, or “so who’s the Star Wars fan here?” questions. But I suppose some people still don’t know those things.


SYP - Do any of you play video games?

Garron - Not really. We never really had video games when we were little. But not too long ago we got a Wii. I mostly just play guitar hero though, and I kinda suck at it.


SYP - What are your favorite superhero movies?

Garron - Spider-man and Batman. Handsdown. I’ve always wanted to be spider man, and the new Batman movies have really got me into Batman again. I was a HUGE Batman fan when I was little (I had the batman pajamas, the shirts, I even had my parents paint the batman logo on my bike), but after I saw the Val Kilmer Batman movie it kinda killed it for me. Thanks Christian Bale for making Batman awesome again! Haha.


SYP - Favorite movies in general?

Garron - Hmm… I always have a hard time thinking of my actual favorite movies. I like too many of them. Basically anything with Mark Wahlburg.


SYP - Do you really dislike Robert Downey Jr.?

Garron - Yeah, basically. At least his acting anyways.


SYP - Is it hard being so cool?

Garron - Haha, not really.


SYP - How do you feel about being an emerging gay icon?

Garron - Hahah… I read some of that topic. I was just laughing the whole time. People come up with some pretty funny stuff.


SYP - Your fans like to bring you things when you're on tour, what are your favorite things to get? Or, what is something you've haven't gotten but would like to.

Garron - We don’t really get things that terribly often. But we get gift cards to Starbucks sometimes, and things like that. Home-baked things are nice, but you never know what they did to it. A home-made cake could be laced with TNT. Oh, and I like those Lifesaver “Fruit-splosions”, those things are delicious.


SYP - What does a normal day off-tour consist of for you guys?

Garron - Often I work on school stuff more off of tour. But, since it summer now, I just hang out. Occasionally hang out with people, but I don’t really have that many friends. Just my girlfriend, so I hang out with her.


SYP - If a fan comes up to you asking if you remember them, and you don't, what do you say (be honest!)?

Garron - Well, because of my remarkably good memory, I usually do remember them if they did anything more than just asked me to sign something. It depends though, I think I’ve told someone I remember them before when I didn’t really. But I’ve also told them that I really don’t remember them. So it depends on how comfortable I'm feeling.


SYP - Do Weston and Garron ever feel left out since the girls seem to get more attention sometimes?

Garron - No way. I’m definitely not an attention hog. I like being not noticed.


SYP - Did you enjoy having Madison on your with you on this last tour?

Garron - NO!... just kidding. Of course I did. How would I be able to say I didn’t enjoy having her on tour?


SYP - What band have you enjoyed touring with most? Would you ever say who you disliked least?

Garron - I think that I most enjoyed touring with MuteMath last fall. We became very good friends with most of those guys, and their crew. So it was just a very fun tour. It was more like a bunch of friends hanging out all around the country than touring actually. And no, I probably wouldn’t say who I enjoyed touring with the least, that would just be rude.


SYP - How have invasive "fans" who hack your e-mail and steal your pictures, messages and files affected you? Garron, have you even had to deal with that? Or has it just been the other four? Or was just the girls? I guess no one cares about you boys? (jk)

Garron - Hah, no one has hacked into my email yet. I don’t know if its cause no one cares about me or because I have ridiculously good passwords. But, they haven’t managed to get in yet. Hopefully they don’t, but I don’t really have anything awesome in my email anyways. I rarely use it.

SYP - To help clear up all the confusion: What's the story about the so-called "baby" demos? Not necessarily about how they were stolen, but about what they are? How did it even get the name "The Baby"? What might you like people to think about if they listen to them? Do you mind that people are sharing it, or would you rather them not?

Garron - I don’t know exactly what went down with those. I believe they were called “The Baby” because that was the name of the girl’s hard-drive at the time, so when garageband puts them in iTunes, it labels it by the hard-drive name. But I’m sure one of the girls could answer this better.


SYP - This is sort of a cliché but...any last words for us, SYP. com, the fans and such?

Garron - WHAT UP? THANKS FOR KEEPIN' IT REAL.

Band Profile

Sherri DuPree (vocals, guitar) Sherri Dupree

Sherri Kay DuPree shares primary songwriting duties with Stacy, while supplying her delicate, yet powerful voice and a deceivingly simple rhythm guitar work. It was Sherri (born Dec. 3, 1983), along with older sister Chauntelle, that began in the late 1990s to forge the band that would eventually become Eisley. Often taking the informal role as the band's public mouthpiece, Sherri also remains the most active member among the band's community. Having maintained a blog regularly for years, she shares slices of life, photos and plugs for her favorite things (drinks, cereal, books, movies, etc).

Her highly imaginative and expressive artwork are central to the band's visual identity. Sherri has contributed guest vocals to New Found Glory's "Coming Home" (along with all three of her sisters), and Bright Eye's "Cassadega," (along with Stacy) among others. She also digs the color pink.


Chauntelle DuPree (vocals, guitar) Chauntelle Dupree

Big sister to all the DuPree children, Chauntelle is Eisley's lead guitarist and sometimes singer. Her favorite axes are a Lotus Strat replica, a champagne sparkle Gretsch, and a Larrivee acoustic. She is largely self-taught, and her style is inventive and nontraditional. When she's not on tour or recording, Chauntelle enjoys other artistic endeavors like painting and making her own clothes.

Chauntelle used to sing and write songs during the Moss Eisley days, but took a break for several years. Her triumphant return came with the song "One More Day With You," co-written with Zac Hanson and Jon Crosby at the Fools' Banquet songwriting workshop. Since then Chauntelle has lent her lovely voice to several portions of Combinations. Eisley fans adore Chauntelle for her sweet demeanor and dedication to signing autographs and chatting with the audience after every Eisley show.

Stacy DuPree (vocals, keyboard, guitar) Stacy Dupree

Growing up in the band, Stacy Lynn DuPree (born Oct. 8, 1988) has evolved from a young child longing to join her sisters' musical exploits, to an acclaimed vocalist and songwriter. Eisley's co-primary songwriter, she has penned insightful and artful songs that remain beyond her years in wit and imagery. Her vocal range and abilities have attracted a number of guest vocal spots with acts such as The Elected and Bright Eyes.

Sometimes mistaken as brooding or even depressed, Stacy quickly dispels such misconceptions in person with a bright smile and increasingly humorous on-stage banter. Finally old enough to circumvent drinking laws that sometimes barred her from entering the clubs she helped fill with rabid fans, she is now garnering attention for her abilities without qualifier involving her youth. In her leisure, Stacy enjoys Harry Potter and the colors green and blue.


Weston DuPree (drums) Weston Dupree

On May 17, 1986, Weston Michael DuPree began to grow from residual DNA goop on a pair of father Boyd's old drum sticks. Originally nicknamed "Goopy," his sisters decided to give him a proper name and make him the drummer for their burgeoning musical ambitions. Beat-keeping was difficult until his spine fully forged, but soon Weston had mastered the banal world of standard rock drumming. Seeking an ever more challenging style, Weston sought to become one with the jazz masters.

Training in the rain forests of the Congo, on the icy peaks of K2 and in the murky depths of Louisianan swamps, Weston has emerged an ever promising warrior of the skin beating game. His well-honed sense of humor has also given him superhuman strength, which he uses to impress gal pal Jessie, of the rap trinity known as LuvBeat. He is also an audio-phile and likes stick-on facial hair.


Garron DuPree (bass) Garron Dupree

Stupid cousin who is often nameless, Garron DuPree joined Eisley late in the game. He's pretty alright at bass and replaced that foo' (and still good friend of the band apparently) Jon. Garron often has smelly B.O. and in his free time he takes photos. He has an older sister Madison, and younger brothers Drayton, Remington, and Bryson. His mom, parish, and his dad wade (brother of Boyd, the father of 4/5 of Eisley) raised him, along with a pack of wolves.

He is seventeen and enjoys singing guitar riffs. His birthday is December 4, 1989. He does school online while on the road and has been home schooled his whole life. His family lives in Sugarland, just outside of Houston. He attends the Sugarland Vineyard.

Becoming You
(Unreleased track)

Ha ha ha, we float our way through this lonely world, again you say
"It's funny how the years go by when you never stop singing"

Well it gets so easy riding on your shadow my ideas get lost amid your own.
Count the days and spaces filled with cars and cases, robots, sand and sea foam.


We sing the song we wrote when we were kids for so long.
Paper clips, and long road trips, make for silly stories.

Well it got so easy riding on your shadow my ideas get lost amid your own.
Count the days and spaces filled with cars and cases, robots, sand and sea foam.


Becoming you.


Blackened Crown
(Released on "EP1" and "EP2")

A face broken upstairs I fall down
Tumbling I lose my ground
Paint my hair a blackened crown
Lift my head as I cry out

Did you hear me holler at you
to come save me I'm in danger
My pearls have fallen into mud
and you were too late


This breath precious to you
knocked from me
Taken so faintly and
I never feel 'till it's too late

Did you hear me holler at you
to come save me I'm in danger
My pearls have fallen into mud
and you are too late.


Brightly Wound
(Released on "Room Noises")

I am just wishing you were here, so we could walk down to the brook.
And we would throw all our leaves in, seeing our dragon when we look.

It's happening all the time, When I open my eyes, I'm still taken by surprise,
You have shining eyes, yes like those forest lights, and it makes me want to cry.


I love you…

I shall never grow up, Make believe is much too fun.
Can we go far away to the humming meadow, this place is so lovely.
It kind of makes me very happy. Can we go far away to the humming meadow?


I am just wishing you were here, so we could walk down to the brook.
And we would throw all our leaves in, seeing our dragon when we go.

We we're walking there, I had tangles in my hair, but you make me feel so pretty.
I hold sunlight, and swallow butterflies and it makes me want to cry.

I love you...



Dream For Me
(Released on "EP1" and "EP2". MP3 available on this site)

Night falls... am I dreaming?
The fears are toying with my head
and I'm swept away by the wind
And I can't fight them anymore... anymore.


Frantically I run for my life. Oh, I'm faint with fear
Chase me down with your knife
and I don't want to die
Chase me down with your knife


Tears of pain and salt fall once again
Your twisted schemes scrape my mind with your hand
and I don't want to die
Chase me down with your knife


Sleep my little child and rest in me...



The Escaping Song
(Available on iTunes)

I felt the wind shifting back on us
Hold on we have to run


But we can't escape there's no way
They'll call our names through the speakers
La, ah
La, ah


When they find you, they'll retrieve you
Take you where sphered domes will freeze you


But we can't escape there's no way
They'll call our names through the speakers
La, ah
La, ah


Men would die at sea for you
But all I want is you
Men would live and die for you
But all I want is you, you


These beautiful moments we shared together
All end now
They'll make me drink this potion; I'll sleep forever
Until I wake under the glacier ground

The ground
The ground, oh yeah



Golly Sandra
(Released on "Room Noises")

G-g-g-golly Sandra
You've grown up really crazy
Have I been too denying of you
G-golly Sandra
You've grown up so crazy
Have I been too untrusting

Take me down to the bridge
Where you know that I'll always love you
And I'll go without stopping
Oh you are my scar, and that's not really far
Hey, hey

G-g-g-golly Sandra
You've grown up really crazy
Have I been too denying of you
G-golly Sandra
You've grown up so crazy
Have I been too untrusting

Take me down to the bridge
Where you know that I'll always love you
And I'll go there without stopping
Oh you are my scar, and that's not really far
Hey, hey

Well I guess I should have been around
To sing you too sleep
You look so beautiful
It hurts me slightly
Oh, oh

Oh you are my scar, and that's not really far
Hey, hey
Oh you know that I have tried so hard
For you, for you



Head Against the Sky
(Released on "EP2". Different version available on this site and iTunes)

Sleep with your head against the sky tonight.
I can't count how many times you have made me cry.
I marvel at the way your hair glows in the light
.

There's one who cares for me today.

I've watched you grow up child, you have made me proud.
I love the way your hand fits so nicely in mine.
I always screw up, I wonder how you sing to me.

There's one who cares for me today.



I Wasn't Prepared
(Released on "Laughing City EP" and "Room Noises")

When the day is blue, I'll sit here wondering about you
and how the pollen fell all around your face in strange yellow patterns.


But, I wasn't prepared for this.

When the morning came the bees flew down and wrapped themselves around me,
And that's when I spoke a word, to have them trace your face for me in pollen.


But, I wasn't prepared for this.

Come back, come back to me, my darling.


Just Like We Do
(Released on "Room Noises")

Dear, did you know that people love each other
Just like we do
Just like they do
Dear did you know you're all I ask for
So hold on to me
Hold on with me here

And there are things that follow us
Quietly to the past
We've seen all those faces
We won't go looking for trouble

The rain tumbled down through the cracks in the sky
Which made your hands grow
Watch your hands grow

But we still see through their planks, shifting laughs
We'll hold the hands of sinners and we will pass

Oooh ah
Oooh ah
Oooh ah



Laughing City
(Released on "EP2" and "Laughing City EP". MP3 available on this site)

Follow me down to the laughing city with people changing all their minds; it’s crazy.
I want this ma’am, that ma’am, no sir. Yes ma’am, that sir;
Well, I’ll tell you one thing, if you’re keeping something…


Then hold on, hold on to the ones you love.
Hold on, hold on to the ones you love.


Let’s not fight, that's not nice. (Oooh)
Let’s not be sore, that's not right. (Oooh, that is where you’ll find me)

Come home late, I know you’re sick of working.
You’re feeling down because your head is hurting, so we don’t talk.


Hold on, hold on to the ones you love.
Hold on, hold on to the ones you love.


Let’s not fight, that's not nice. (Oooh)
Let’s not be sore, that's not right. (Oooh, that is where you’ll find me)


Lost at Sea
(Released on "Room Noises")

Sailing over wave and tide, oh
Fantastic waves against the sides of the hull
And I'm not so afraid, lost at sea, as I should be
And I'm not so afraid, lost at sea, you and I, you and me


Congratulations 'cause we made it
All the way home, all the way home
And you know that until the stars fall
I will always love you, I will always love you


The mystery of salt and sea, oh
Has never been intriguing, oh
To me, but the sea green is set so beautifully
Against your thoughtful face that I must close my eyes
Or turn my face


Congratulations 'cause we made it
All the way home, all the way home
And you know that until the stars fall
I will always love you, I will always love you


Still floating soft
I am dreaming, and I'm glad I'm lost
And still
With my fingers drawing circles
In water, in water
And still, still you're always there


Congratulations 'cause we made it
All the way home, all the way home
And you know that until the stars fall
I will always love you, I will always love you


Lullaby
(MP3 available on this site.)

After the moon comes up, all of the toys behind closed doors
open their eyes and move their squeaky joints across the floor.

Rocking horses run, tinker toys assembling,
twisting mobile stars, dancing dolls and spinning cars.


Stop, will you stop? Will you stop and speak to me?
Wake, I know you're awake. Move your mouth and speak to me.
I'm not the kind who will take it for granted,
no, I'm not the kind who will take it for granted.


How I would like to know all the toy soldiers in a row,
marching to and fro, all the tin soldiers in a row.
Tiny painted mouths, how I wish you'd utter now,
words of nursery rhyme, tongue and teeth all click in time.


Stop, will you stop? Will you stop and speak to me?
Wake, I know you're awake. Move your mouth and speak to me.
I'm not the kind who will take you for granted,
no, I'm not the kind who will take you for granted.


Marvelous Things
(Released on "Marvelous Things EP" and "Room Noises")

I awoke the dawn
saw horses growing out the lawn
ah ah .....

I glimpsed a bat with butterfly wings
oh what marvelous things
ah ah....

 
Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
my baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
and keep us here safely


I followed a rabbit
through rows of mermaid entwined shrubbery
Ah ah....
Oh what marvelous things but, they are, they are, the
