The River Empires (band) is the soundtrack for a trilogy that will soon be told in film format- The River Empires I,II, & III (movies). The trilogy will tell the story of two children who, during one particular summer, find a glass bottle with a message in it that changes their lives forever. As the trilogy will tell the story from the beginning to end, the band soundtracks the films from end to beginning. Now this is one of seven records that will soundtrack the films, but because the films have yet to be revealed, there was need for an introduction to the story. Since the soundtrack is from end to beginning, that just wasn’t possible. So the idea was decided that the debut record put out by The River Empires (band) would be the epilogue to the trilogy. Hence the reason why this record is self titled (the following soundtracks will be clear which parts in the films they are scoring). This debut record is a musical journey that sums up thematic ideas weaved throughout the entire tale. The story will not make sense to you after listening to this record, nor will you gain any insight as to the mysteries following the first film of the trilogy. The story hasn’t even begun. This is simply a conclusive presentation to a world of perplexity, oddity, mystery and detail that, after the film trilogy and the other six soundtracks are finished, will be a nostalgic look back on the beginning of a strange and terrifying idea called The River Empires.

Brace yourselves for April 6, 2010.

I had a bit of a crazy weekend. Was in New Zealand and had some insanely routed flights that, within the relentless schedule, gave me influenza. But this week the band is getting together to practice before our show in Eugene at Joe’s Bar and Grill. Things are starting to pick up in the TRE camp though. Getting some new and much needed gear for our shows this week, working on perfecting our set, and scheduling the next two months of preparation for the record release. Can you believe it? Just over two months away before the record is out. Crazy. Alright kiddies, talk to you later.

TRE

Hello ladies and gentleman. Welcome to the new website! It’s still a bit under construction, so bare with us for a bit while we sort things out. What we hope to achieve with this site is to create a one stop source for news/updates/shows etc in a more down-to-earth style. We want it to be super laid back and very “non techie”, to remain in our hopefully organic presentation of our music and manner. So we hope you will check back at this site daily, as we hope to continue to update at every possible moment. And comment below on all of our postings just so the TRE family can grow into a super tight group. Thanks for all your support, we love you all and are excited for the future!
