Album Release Announcement

This week Twenty3Fifty9 Twenty3fifty9 is proud to announce the release of their long awaited debut album, “The Count, Act I, The Soul of a Prisoner”, the first part of an ambitious progressive metal concept piece, with a guitar and keyboard driven sound that will invite comparisons with the likes of Dream Theater and Fates Warning, a song style that has been compared to both Kansas and Savatage, and beautifully illustrated with artworks by Ed Unitsky.  [read entire article]

October 11th, 2008

Though not quite a “festival”, as it kind of came together at the last minute, the show this saturday at O’Rileys bar and grill in Dallas will be an all-day musical journey into progressive, experimental, in some cases even avant garde music.

Early in the day, be sure to catch ICE-9, the new supergroup consisting of members from Twenty3Fifty9, SpaceTime and Element-X — performing material from Queensryche and Fates Warning to Crimson Glory.

Also — our good friends ASLAN will be at the show, be sure to catch their powerful set as well.

Twenty3Fifty9 will go on at 11pm

See you there!

August 23rd, 2008

Come on down to O’Riley’s on August 23rd, to catch up on the latest 23:59 material — we will be debuting another new song this time around, the final addition to the album.

Speaking of the album …. This past weekend we finished up the vocal tracks so now it’s time to begin mix-down. We hope to have the finished product in hand some time in September–early enough to hand out a few at Prog-Power-IX, which Tom and I are attending. Look for a CD release party coming soon.

June 7th, 2008

The final recordings are under way! Over the past two weekends, we recorded all of the drum tracks. Before mixing or EQ we can already hear that these will be the best drum recordings we’ve done. And of course Bill rocked like always!

Today and tomorrow we’ll be recording the basic song structures over the drum recordings–the keys, guitar and bass. Hopefully getting to the leads by next weekend. We’re looking forward to finally finishing this thing up…

ROAD TRIP

June marks our first out-of-town show, we’ll be playing two shows, June 6th and 7th, the first in our usual haunt O’Riley’s, the second at Lucy’s in San Marcos–we’re hoping to see some of our Austin friends make it to this show. I’ve already got some excited email from several of them.

April 18th, 2008

It’s springtime. And that means it’s time to dust off the website and put some new stuff up here. For the moment that means show announcements and a flyer for April 18th, but also be on the lookout for the final recordings for Act One.

The band has been busy writing new material while we’ve been off, and I’m happy to say we are compositionally complete at this point, with somewhere around 70 minutes of material for the album.

April 18th at O’Riley’s

I hope you’ll all be there for our first show of the year, Friday, April 18th. Opening the show will be Anthem, the Rush Tribute, to be followed by Ethereal Architect and Addnerim. Twenty3:Fifty9 will be the headliner for this show. It’s stacking up to be one killer show!

Anthem will start at 8:30 … BE THERE!
