[There's plenty of great Christmas songs out there, but most suffer terribly from over-exposure. To remedy that, EbM presents a selection of alternative Christmas songs .] Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas is one of the few 'proper' Christmas songs that I can still stand to listen to, but it just sounds too dated (and - like all 'big' Christmas songs - overexposed) to make this list. Thankfully we have this up-to-date cover of it to see us through, performed by Pictures of Then [...]
Gimme Noise is proud to be a media partner at this weekend's Glitter Ball 4: A Night in Andy Warhol's Factory, a community-building fundraiser, art showing, and party that will feature Pictures of Th

Sitting in a motel room in Kansas City taking a break from tour, Minneapolis transplants Pictures of Then fight the good fight. They've been on the road for a couple years now, and they are not only finding who they are as a band but who they need to be as a business. It's safe to say that we're now in a world post-major label, and while it has its creative blessings, Pictures of Then now have to become businessmen. While it's a definite challenge, the band's not letting it stop them. But I'm getting ahead of myself [...]
The onset of the digital age has brought about profound changes in the ways people interact and do business in the music industry. As listeners increasingly flock to digital downloads and file sharing so too increases the volume of available music for consumers. This has left many artists and PR people scratching their heads and [...]
One of Minnesota's best kept secrets, Pictures of Then, just released a hot new single for the masses and we highly recommend you add to playlist immediately! We're getting real tired over on this end, because Pictures of Then is a secret that's really hard to keep, and frankly, we just don't want to keep [...]
We just got word that local Minneapolis rockers and Borangutan favorites Pictures of Then have a free song available for download this week through the Reverb Nation website. The offer is only running through tomorrow, so you better hurry! It's true it won't cost you a penny, but it will cost you a slot of [...]
Pictures of Then are one of Minneapolis' best kept secrets, but we don't really want to keep it that way. Earlier this year the band released their album And The Wicked Sea, and if you haven't heard it yet, catch a tune on the Borangutan Downloads page, then head over to the band's Myspace page [...]
Everyone likes a bit of the maccabre, right? And how fitting then is Pictures of Then's new video for "Wicked Sea," just before the release of Diablo Cody's Jennifer's Body. "Wicked Sea" is off Pictures of Then's latest album And the Wicked Sea, and I just saw a copy of it at Cheapo in Uptown the [...]
(Editor's Note: Minneapolis' Pictures of Then will internationally release their new album And the Wicked Sea tomorrow on Tuesday, August 4. We stole a moment from the band and placed upon them some well-laid questions about the new album, its inspiration, and where they most like to perform in the Twin Cities.) Cizzy: Minnesota has a [...]
Last Friday, The Uptown Bar had the typical dark and noisy ambiance, and the noise shifted to that of an Americanized-Brit-Pop melody that seemed to take everyone by surprise when local band Pictures Of Then stepped onto the stage. Touring major parts of the Midwest in support of their latest album, And The Wicked Sea, [...]
Today is June 15, 2009, and I'm doing up the Harry Potter movie tonight. Wait, wait... don't tell me. The Strokes have been mighty silent the last few years, pursuing all sorts of side-projects etc. Julian Casablancas has a new one of his own, in fact, and he has released a teaser of what to expect [...]
Today is July 13, 2009, and this is a few day edition of reading all that we read. We've been dropping Ari Herstand's name a fair amount lately, and for good reason. As an artist we think he's doing an aweful lot of things right in the new industry, not least of which is cutting personal [...]
Today is July 6, 2009, and I'm battling off a tuft of the cold. Excedrin migraine - I now swear by it. Typically I only post one fun little vid or pic each day in the news post, and usually it's of some local significance. Today, however, you get two, because sometimes more than one great [...]
Pictures Of Then are releasing "and The Wicked Sea" in August and were kind enough to allow us to offer up a track from that album. This will be the bands second album and they have an interesting Flaming Lips meets Dr. Dog vibe going on. Download: Pictures Of Then - When It Stings Share This:
