Bragging Rights
Hey, I'm not usually one to brag.
No, really, I'm not! But there's this old saying that goes something like, "nobody's
gonna hype you but you." Actually, I'm not sure if that saying is old...
the word "hype" is kinda recent... regardless, here's some Cosmicity
factoids that help illustrate some of Cosmicity's success to date:
Since the debut release
of "The Vision" in 1994, Cosmicity has sold almost 6000 albums, not including
CD singles or compilations.
At Synthcon
2001 in Hollywood, Cosmicity was awarded "Synthpop Artist of the Year"
at the American Synthpop Awards ceremony.
Cosmicity was also the
first ever recipient of two out of four possible American Synthpop Awards in
2000. One for the song "Self Involved" in the category of Best Single and one
for the song "Too Far Gone (Extremely No Good Mix)" in the category of best
12" remix.
Cosmicity
has performed dozens of live shows in major cities accross North America including
New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Albuquerque, Chicago,
Detroit, Washington DC, Baltimore, Richmond, Pittsburgh, Toronto, and even a
show in Mexico City, Mexico. (Learn more at the live
page.)
Cosmicity has been on
over 30 electronic music compilations, along-side major artists such as Information
Society, Red Flag, Alphaville, White Town, Anything Box and many more. (See
list on the bottom of the albums page.)
Since
1994, Cosmicity has released 10 albums/EPs and 6CD singles for a total of 16
releases. (See complete list at the bottom of the order
page.)
Coming in 2003: A new
album called "Escape Pod For Two", as well as planned limited edition
bonus CD. (Follow Cosmicity's progress on the Escape Pod
page.)
I was
elected "King of the Universe". It's a little known fact. Many have disputed
the validity of the election, but I assure you, the universe elected me their
king. It's a big responsibility, really. Thousands of species (many with opposable
thumbs) look to me for moral guidance, answers to questions about the meaning
of life, and above all, really cool synth music.
(Okay, okay. I'm not
the king of the universe. I just ran out of stuff to brag about so I started
making it up. That doesn't make me a bad person, does it?)
