flnteastwood: As of today, Feburary 16, 2012, we are no longer writing and performing under the name POWER. POWER is dead. POWER is long gone (PLEASE KEEP READING). POWER is like a significant other that you’ve dated for years, only to find that you’re a french press and they’re a coffee pot. You’re a reader and they’re a ‘watch the movie version instead’. You’re a fine wine and they’re a smirnoff ice. You’re this and they’re this.  You’ve perfected your craft and they still say things like ‘one of these days i’m going to master needle point’ (FREAKING DO IT ALREADY). I know what you’re thinking: and we’ll tell you first - we are not breaking up as a band. We’ve matured (some) and have decided to take our craft to another level. One which requires a fresh start. Not to say that we don’t appreciate our time in POWER or have any negative connotation with it - we feel we’ve reached a new stepping point. Developing a name for a project is like getting a new tattoo: You want it to best symbolize the point you want to make and the feeling you have while not making yourself ashamed of your barbed wire arm band 10 years later. A project name is with you for the entire duration of your time creating. We’ve thought, we’ve processed, we’ve group voted, and the choice has been made: we will now be creating under the name “Flint Eastwood”. And to all of those who claim changing a name is a bad move, a lot of times it is not. Here is a list of some famous name changes: -Radiohead was originally “On A Friday” -Pink Floyd was once known as “Tea Set” -Google was once called “Back Rub” -The Who were originally “The Detours” -Queen were originally “Smile” -Pepsi was “Brad’s Drink” -Yahoo was “Jerry’s Guide to the World Wide Web” -Nintendo was “Marafuku Company” and so on… . . Sure it’s a bit of a risk, but we feel Flint Eastwood is a big HUGE step in the correct direction. We’re very excited for this year’s releases and happenings and can’t wait to show you all what we’ve been working on. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! . Thankyou thankyou thankyou to everyone who has stuck with us thus far. We appreciate you more than you can ever know. Without you (the human who has read this far) we wouldn’t have a reason to release our art. Our hope is that our craft helps others as much as the creative/emotional release has helped us. We love and appreciate each and every one of you. That being said, when changing your name, you have to start all over. If you could do us a solid and ‘like’ us on facebook and/or follow us on twitter we’d be eternally and incredibly indebted to you! . Also - if you live near the Detroit, join us for our last show as POWER/first show as Flint Eastwood. We’d love to meet you. Can’t wait for what this year holds, my friends. . Kindest Thoughts, Jax and Seth
