Silent Lapse set to Perform on WKAR's Backstage Pass June 27th! Click for Tickets.

We are extremely excited about this amazing opportunity to play this FREE to the public show! It will be recorded in HD and aired on WKAR sometime in 2013 on a national level! This is a huge honor for Silent Lapse, especially as we are the first metal band to ever play Backstage Pass. A special thanks to WKAR and everyone who made this possible!

Directing the video will be Brett King, friend of the band and director of "The Wake" music video. Brett knows our music very well and will do an excellent job as always!

 

Two more shows added, plus photos!

As I said, June is filling up... wouldn't it make me a liar if we didn't come out with more June shows announcements then? How about two? June 8th we'll be playing at the Blackened Moon in Lansing, MI, and June 16th we'll be at the Oakwood Lounge in Pewamo. Check our shows page for more details!

Also, we added a couple pictures from the 4/14/12 show at the Pewamo-Westphalia Auditorium. View them all on our Band Page!

 

More shows added!

Good day! June is filling up with shows! We'll be playing the Montcalm Teen Center in Carson City, MI on June 1. This is a great gig we've done before and we look very forward to every time! It is my belief that some of our best fans show up at that gig.

We're looking forward to announcing 1-2 more June shows in the coming week in addition to a very special show toward the end of the month that we're waiting very anxiously to be given the go-ahead to share the details. Keep checking back for updates. We hope to see you at one of these!

 

April 14th "Kony 2012 Benefit" gig added!

A hometown gig for all our fans that are close to home... and anyone else who's willing to make the trek to support a worthy cause! Playing that same night with us will be "Memories for Tomorrow". Thanks to them for inviting us! All ages show at Pewamo-Westphalia Auditorium. Entry is $3 at the door

 

March 2nd "Blackened Moon" gig added!

Come on out to the Blackened Moon in Lansing and see us open for XFactor1 on March 2nd! Tickets at the door. It should be a fun night as always!

Music Video Release: Valentine's Day 2012! Pre-Release Teaser Online

So, we gave everyone a sneak peek at the entire music video last night at the Ark in Westphalia, but the video won't be released to the rest of the world until February 14th (Valentine's Day)... so what do you use to curb your appetite until then? You view THIS TEASER!

Thanks again to everyone who braved the wintery weather to come out to the Ark on Friday! It was really cool to have so many who haven't seen us before, and the sea of Silent Lapse apparel was very encouraging! God bless, and we'll be looking forward to unleashing the video to the world on 2/14, so until then...

 

Music Video For "The Wake": Filming Complete!! 11/29/11

As Scott mentioned in the October Update below, we filmed The Wake music video over Thanksgiving weekend. It was an aggressive schedule with setup all day Friday and shooting Saturday and Sunday from 8-6 and 9-5 respectively... a restful Thanksgiving weekend was not in our cards this year, nor for all the rest involved... So, what were our thoughts after the last frame was captured? AMAZING!

We worked with about 25 people ranging from makeup (I know, I didn't think we needed any either) to actors, camera crew, food ladies, behind the scenes cameras, lighting, extras and much more. Everyone did a great job, graciously taking care of their part, and Brett King (director) made our job easy with his flawless organization and vision. So much so, that our duties for the first day were whittled down to making sure the coffee pot was full... which was actually no easy task as we soon found. These people liked coffee... a lot.

After talking with the rest of the band I think it's safe to say that we were wandering around in a dream the whole day on day one, just watching these people so willingly and skillfully bringing our song to life in front of our very eyes. Quite a powerful experience for us, and one we'll never forget.

Sunday was the day we in the band were all looking forward to. We were to film the band performance side of the video that day. We came in expecting everything to be as great as the day before, but were pleasantly surprised when our expectations were blown out of the water yet again. The visuals were stunning and I remember thinking that it's going to be really hard for us to look bad on camera, so again, our job was made easy. We really can't wait to see (and for you to see) the whole thing all together! We know it's going to be great!

 

October Updates! 10/25/11

Greetings!

So, we played our show with the Finding Clyde, some good guys who put on a good show. And now, as difficult as it may be to see from a distance, we're really rolling on a couple important projects that we're really excited about.

First, our music video for The Wake is so very close to coming to fruition. With our friend Brett King, we went to check out our location, and it didn't take long on location to see that this really is going to be a quality, professional product for you to enjoy. Shooting will happen just after Thanksgiving. Stay tuned on what you can do to help us out.

And equally of note, writing for the new album is really picking up steam now. We're finding that we're much further along in the process than we initially realized. And I've got to say that some of the stuff that Mitchell has come up with has me (Scott) throwing superlatives around with reckless abandon. Suffice it to say, I'm extremely excited about where this is headed, and you should be, too. I think...

Get ready, cuz here stuff from Silent Lapse comes!
