Memoirs of the Superficially Happy Our long-awaited EP Memoirs of the Superficially Happy is now available at CDbaby! Originally intended to be a companion to Coma, this EP features songs that have been previously unavailable. Dedicated to our fans, this work shows a transitional period for us: from Coma to the "Ben's Letter" single on our upcoming full-length CD (expected to be released Christmas 2005). Memoirs is now available in a limited edition batch of only 50 copies, signed and numbered by the band, so get yours today! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We’d also like to take this time to announce our 54 Seconds Insiders Club: As the name suggests, members are part of an exclusive community who receive an inside look at the band. From private photos and chats to personal interviews and videos, you’ll get a chance to see a side of the band that very few see. We’ll be launching the website in late October, so stay tuned! Everyone who buys a copy of Memoirs will receive a 20% discount voucher for membership to the Insiders Club. (There are three types of memberships; purchasing the Platinum (premium) membership with this discount voucher will cover the costs of Memoirs so you’ll be getting the best deal) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For those fortunate enough to live in the “Lone Star State”: we’re playing some new shows in the next month in addition to our weekly gigs at the Lucky Lounge. Check our MySpace page for details: http://myspace.com/54seconds For our fans outside of the Austin area: you can experience a :54 show by purchasing our live shows at DiscLogic: http://disclogic.com

54 Seconds Lucky Monday First off, kudos to Rachel for winning the Austin Music Foundation’s Incubator Award. She’s promised to buy us all fur-lined limos. We survived another SXSW, heard some great new music, made some new friends and had some “industry” people say that they “really liked our stuff” so we’re really “excited” about that. And yes, we’ll be playing our Monday night at The Lucky Lounge, starting at 10:00 and maybe a little quieter. Please come down and celebrate with us and especially Rachel.

Rachel Friday, 54 Seconds Monday Rachel’s CD release party!
(AUSTIN, Texas) — Rachel Loy’s debut, Love the Mess, perfectly captures the high-energy pop sound of the 21-year-old singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist and the songwriting that includes light, fun-loving material and more serious, introspective studies. Loy and her band celebrate the release of Love the Mess with a special performance at 10 p.m. Friday, February 4, at Momo’s, 618 W. Sixth, in Austin. $8 and $10 (18-and-over show) tickets will be available at the door. For information, call 512.479.8848. Showcased on the CD of 13 originals — songs about love for life, fun, frustration and disappointment (but with a positive take) — are shimmering vocals backed by equally passionate and intricate arrangements. Loy provides the vocals and most of the instrumentation. Standouts include the light-hearted, girly song “Parachute Boy”; the frankness of “Big Sky” (written as a love song to a record label that Loy calls “the anthem of the album”); the rocking “Love Me Too Much” (a smart-ass instructional manual to clueless men); and the rootsy, more acoustic-sounding title cut. ==========================
54 Seconds Hope to see you both nights!

Tsunami Victims Benefit
Please see the article below for details on the Benefit this weekend.
Tsunami Victims Benefit
D&L’s Texas Music Café will be hosting a benefit for the survivors of the tsunami in Southeast Asia. The benefit will be the weekend of January 22nd & 23rd. D&L’s Texas Music Café is located at 1321 South Congress (two doors down from the Continental Club). The benefit will include performances by many local musicians and a silent auction with gift cards, merchandise and services donated by South Austin merchants.
Advance tickets will be sold at D&L’s and Love Gift Shop, located at 1000 South 1st Street. Ticket prices will be $15 per day or $25 for a two-day pass. There will likely be tickets available at the door but we encourage you to buy them in advance to ensure that you are able to participate in this event.
All proceeds from tickets and the silent auction as well as 10% of all restaurant and bar sales will be donated to American Red Cross and the Aid Lanka Kids Foundation. The Aid Lanka Kids Foundation is a recently established organization that was formed in Austin by Sri Lankans living in the Austin area. 100% of all donations will be sent to Sri Lanka as they are a strictly volunteer operated organization. Their proceeds go directly to helping support disabled orphans and rebuilding their orphanages that were destroyed by the tsunami in Sri Lanka. For more information regarding this organization visit AidLankaKids.org.
The musicians scheduled to perform are:
Saturday – starting at 2:00 pm (in order of appearance with 45 minute sets each)
Sunday – starting at 2:00 pm (in order of appearance with 45 minute sets each)
These musicians are all graciously donating their time and talent for this cause. The music will be held outdoors on our back patio rain or shine, as we have a tent donated courtesy of Southwest Tent Rentals.
The silent auction will begin at 2:00pm and items will be awarded at the end of each day’s event. Persons participating in the auction do not need to be present to claim their items. We will have many items from our neighbors on South Congress as well as other merchants around town. Everything from gift certificates to South Congress Café, hair services from Pink Salon and Hairy Situations, concert tickets, gift certificates to Goodie Two Shoes and Therapy and even some tattoo time from Southside Tattoo shop! Come check it out and go home with some great items and support a wonderful cause at the same time.
On behalf of the café, the musicians performing for you and all of the merchants who are donating fabulous merchandise, gift cards and/or services for this benefit, we encourage you all to come out and show your support so that we can raise a substantial amount of money to assist the people who are struggling to survive and recover from this incredible disaster.
Thanks so much and hope to see you out on the 22nd or the 23rd or both!
