Nor are we sleeping…we are, in fact, currently hard at work on our upcoming CD, “The Future”. We’re eight songs in out of the ten we’d like to put on there, as well as the winners from the remix contest. Keep your eyes out here and our Facebook, Myspace, LiveJournal, etc. for news as it comes.
Also, just a quick heads up that we have an EXTREMELY limited number of copies of “MACHINES SHOULD THINK PEOPLE SHOULD WORK” left. We may or may not be repressing it, based upon demand. If you’ve been waiting to buy a copy, now would be a good time!
Show announcements forthcoming!

First off, we’d like to thank all our fans and friends for voting for us in the Cleveland Scene Music Awards! We won as “best goth/industrial” band in Cleveland! Maybe next year they’ll have an electronic music category and alleviate confusion.
To celebrate our victory, look for a new episode of M.C.D.O.N.A.L.D.S. (Missile Command Day Of New And Lovely Downloadable Stuff) coming soon to the site! A little thank you to you all.
Now, on to the future!
We have two shows coming up!
First, one that everyone can come to, no matter where they are!
And then, nary two weeks later, our first live event!
Hope to see you either at this one, or on the Internets!!!
We’ve been nominated for the Cleveland Scene Music Awards! Please go to http://www.clevescene.com and vote for Missile Command for best “Goth/Industrial” band. Guess there aren’t enough bands to have an “electronic” category…
We’re happy to announce that we’re over halfway done with the next CD, entitled “The Future”! We’re hoping for a late 2010 release…stay tuned!
To help ring in the holidays (and help you rock from party to party, as well as at said parties), we here at Missile Command are giving away three newly available songs as part of our Missile Command Day Of New And Lovely Downloadable Stuff! You can go here to download all of them. We’re really happy with how they all came out, and would love to hear from you what you think!
Plenty! We’re deep in recording-land right now, with half of our next CD already recorded! This next release will continue in our exploration of all genres of electronic music, this time wrapped around the theme of futures that never happened. We hope you’ll enjoy the next album. We’re shooting for a late 2010 release!
One of the other things we’re working on is exclusive downloadable content for our dearest fans and friends, what we’ve dubbed “Missile Command Day Of New And Lovely Downloadable Stuff” or M.C.D.O.N.A.L.D.S. for short. What exactly is it? It’s a bunch of neat exclusives, including stuff from our upcoming release, new covers, video, art, etc. Our first M.C.D.O.N.A.L.D.S. will be coming out in two weeks. To get on the list, all you have to do is become a fan of us over on Facebook, or join our Twitter feed. If you’re on Facebook, just search for Missile Command and become a fan there. If you’re on Twitter, you can find us under @mchq.
We’ll be starting up on shows again come March, which we’ll be announcing dates around February. It’s been an exciting 2009, with adding Dawn and Lori to the full-time stage lineup. We’re going to be playing with how we do things live based upon that for 2010, which you’ll have to wait and see what we’ve got up our sleeves!
We hope you have a great holiday season, and remember, Missile Command schwag makes great gifts for everyone!
See you in 2010!!
Sorry it took longer than expected to post this. I take full responsibility for the lapse (aka brain fart). Anyway, without further ado:
THE WINNERS OF THE MISSILE COMMAND REMIX CONTEST!!!!
First of all, we’d like to thank all those that participated. Every remix was awesome. However, the fans have spoken, and here’s what they say!
Remix #12 - Andromeda 8 (M31 Mix) by Dr. Peter Naegele
Remix #11 – FTS Beta 9/I Know You (Highest Fastest/Down/Cool As Fire/ Nightime Radio) by Thomas Durdella
Remix #5 – Andromeda 8 (DJ Salty Flavor Mix) by DJ Salty Flavor
In other news: A show!
This should be an awesome time! We’ll be premiering a brand new song titled “Meridian” which will be appearing on our next album, The Future. This is also going to be a new venue for us to play, and we’re really excited about that!
Speaking of excited, we’re also excited to announce the return of Matt Myers to the scientific folds of Missile Command! One of the founding members that fateful night years ago (along with Jim and Andrew), Matt (aka Poop, 2.0) will be joining us as our live sound technician. Welcome back, Matt!
We’ll be announcing the winners of the remix contest this weekend. Sorry we haven’t said anything yet, we’ve just been very busy with getting this show ready and other important matters outside of Missile Command. We appreciate your patience.
If you’d like to receive up-to-the-minute reports on our concerts (time we play, set order, what we’re currently drinking, plus random pics at the show), sign up on Twitter and add @mchq. You can even have Twitter send text messages to your phone when we Tweet, which is handy if you’re out and about. Hope to see you tonight!
Missile Command’s remix contest, ends THIS WEEKEND! We NEED YOU!!!
Basically, we’ve had some cheating going on with regard to the voting, so we need more votes from more people in order to judge fairly!For those of you who missed the memo…I’m in a band called Missile Command, and we’re working on our second album. Part of what we decided to do is a remix contest, and it’s coming to an end this weekend!
You can go to http://missile-command.net/blog/?p=10 to download and listen to all 12 remixes (it’s FREE!) and then you can leave a comment on the bottom of the page with your favorite song listed. If you have a tie or a second song, list it as well! The top three songs will be featured on our next album, “The Future.”
If you’ve never heard our music, Missile Command has some song samples at both the Missile Command Website and our MySpace Page.
You may also listen to samples of all the songs from our first album, “Machines Should Think, People Should Work,” on iTunes, Rhapsody, and Amazon.com. Just look for the album title! You may, of course, just buy the songs/ entire album there as well! ~8)
Please spread the word, tell your mom, nudge your neighbor!
Most importantly, PLEASE VOTE!
Our “FUTURE” album is in YOUR HANDS (and ears!~;)
And this will be the last show for the summer. September is a very busy month outside of Missile Command for all of us, and we’ll be taking a little break then. However, we’ll be back in October…so get ready for a Halloween party that will blow you away!!
