Songs From A Room - Houston Press Review

First of all, we would like to thank Songs From a Room for inviting us to participate in this almost magical event, and a very special thanks to Heather Pray, since she was the organizer and curator, and the person who contacted us and gave us the chance to be part of the show. I don't think any of us expected what happened.   Sharing the stage (or rather, the living room) with such talented artists was simply amazing. We are very grateful we were part of this.

The Houston Press wrote a really nice article about our acoustic set from last Saturday. They even posted a video of our full performance! You can read the article, and check our performance right here.


See you very very soon!

Zombie Invasion and The Watermarks

As some of you may know, we are playing a show in College Station this Saturday, our first show there. The occasion is the Thrill The World event, where they will attempt to beat the world record for most zombies dancing Michael Jackson's Thriller video sequence. We go on immediately after zombies from all over the world dance together. Scary, isn't it? But we're happy we're sharing the stage with our friends from The Live Lights!

To read more about it, check out this article written about the event here!

See you soon!

The Watermarks Featured in the Cureconnections Newsletter and Playlist

A few weeks ago I read in one of the Google Alerts we get that someone mentioned us in a Cure forum. This could be a good and a bad thing, depending of what the person said, of course. So I went to investigate and  it was good, actually very good. A few members of the forum started saying really good things about us, and suddenly the downloads of our EP Thoughts Like Bombs and the plays of our YouTube video for Fast Song started peaking. Oddly enough, most plays came from Germany, which is the home for CureConnections.com, the forum where we got mentioned. The fact our music was being appreciated from so far away was so cool that I had to sign up and become a member of this forum, and thank everyone who helped spread The Watermarks' name all over the world. From what I gather there's nothing but nice people at CureConnections.com, and now they have even featured us in their news letter that every member of the forum gets and added one of our songs to their playlist!

We would like to say "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" to them. That's totally awesome!

I don't know if nonmembers can read the newsletter, but if you want to read it, you can do so here.

ps. The Watermarks might have a little Cure surprise in the near future...

Headliner.fm Interview

We were interviewed recently by Headlinner.fm.  In case you don't know what Headlinner.fm is, it's a very cool site that helps independent artists find and connect with more fans and other artists.

The article starts by saying really good things about us:

"A lot of cool bands have signed up for Headliner.fm recently. I try to spend a little time each week listening to our user’s music and finding new bands I like. One band that recently caught my ear was The Watermarks. The Watermarks have a great sound: heavy synths, fuzzy guitars and catchy hooks that sort of recall the Jesus and Mary Chain.  The group, which is based out of Houston, has opened for some huge bands including Broken Social Scene and The Ting Tings. So far, on Headliner the group has made 3 connections and reached 8,000+ new fans.You can visit their official site here: The Watermarks.

I had the opportunity to do a brief interview with Jason and Cesar of The Watermarks, via email, where we talked about their experiences as an indie band in 2010. Check it out!"
