	Absinthe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Absinthe (from French, from Latin absinthium, ancient Greek apsinthion, "wormwood") is a high-alcohol anise flavored-liquor derived from herbs including the flowers and leaves of the medicinal plant Artemisia absinthium, also called wormwood.
		Absinthe's popularity grew steadily until the 1840's when absinthe was given to French troops as a fever preventative.
		Spurred by the temperance movement and winemakers' associations, absinthe was publicized in connection with several violent crimes supposedly committed under the direct influence of the drink, along with a general tendency toward hard liquor consumption due to the wine shortage in France during the 1880s and 1890s, effectively targeting absinthe's popularity as a social menace.

		Absinthe, a strongly alcoholic drink with a reputation of mythic proportions, is again in fashion, 90 years after it was banned in France and elsewhere as a cause of madness.
		Absinthe was seen as a foreign poison undermining the national resolve just as the decadence of Oscar Wilde and his circle was seen to undermine national culture.
		Absinthe became trendy with some rock stars (one ad campaign said, "Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1899"), and it isn't surprising that their experiences of it did not meet those of the introverted Parisian artists that had gone before.

	Absinthe Blind
		The guys (and girl) of Absinthe Blind are the most humble group of musicians in the world.
		As we were heading out to Thai food in Silverlake, CA I managed to get hopelessly lost with the band in their van that sounded like it was on it’s last legs (or it might have been the massive trailer towed behind full of sound equipment slowing us down).
		There are some bands you’ve probably heard of on it, but there are some that we are trying to expose to the public for the first time.

	Absinthe Blind - Rings - openingbands.com
		Absinthe Blind's newest release "Rings" may be as close to defining their sound as one can possibly come.
		The alternation between the two vocalists allows Absinthe Blind to have vocals that perfectly fit any mood, while the combination of their harmonies brings a new level of intensity and power to the music.
		The songs Bands 1 and Bands 2 must also be mentioned for their graceful simplicity and the irritatingly unforgettable line repeated throughout both: "She said playing in bands won't make you well".

		Anyone who has ever encountered the band is well aware that they are about as fun a group as one is likely to find, with choreographed songs, matching uniforms, seemingly impossible physical feats, and spazzy rock god/goddess poses all being part and parcel of their standard live show.
		The band’s sound, comprised of acoustic and electric guitars, drums, bass, piano, and occasionally organ, is almost the definition of mainstream popular rock.
		On their debut Zwan lives up to the expectations that one might hold of a band that includes half of the Smashing Pumpkins; it is nearly impossible not to compare the two especially since both bands feature Corgan's extremely unique voice.

	Dora, Absinthe Blind, and Circuits Made Simple - a Concert Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		The band is new to the Memphis scene, though the singer/guitarist used to be in the band The Beep (which was headed by Ken Steorts, formerly of Skillet).
		The bulk of the band's set came from its latest full-length release Rings, which features the single "The Break." The band's set closer "She Saves" was the most impressive song, clocking in at about ten minutes long and creating a powerful moment that words really can't accurately describe.
		Opening with a strong instrumental, the band plunged into "For No One" and the crowd was drawn in from that point on.

	Parasol Records : Labels : Mud : Absinthe Blind : Rings
		The band were easily one of the town's most popular bands of the past 20 years that I have been a resident here.
		But not to worry, the band members are all continuing to follow their hearts musically and have already launched a variety of side-projects such as Headlights (early versions of Headlights went by various names including Enemies, Enemy, Orphan, and Orphans), Cortisol, The Beauty Shop, and Triple Whip.
		The follow-up to Absinthe Blind’s most recent album, the critically acclaimed Everyday Separation, is bolstered by upper-rung songwriting and arranging within the band, and the recording skills and influence of Matt Talbott (Centaur/Hum), Chicago sound-shaman Keith Cleversley (Mercury Rev/Flaming Lips/Spiritualized/The Posies/Hum/etc.), and local producer/engineer Jon Pines (Wilco, etc).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Bernard of Clairvaux
		Three years later, St. Stephen sent the young Bernard, at the head of a band of monks, the third to leave Cîteaux, to found a new house at Vallée d'Absinthe, or Valley of Bitterness, in the Diocese of Langres.
		His father, the aged Tescelin, and all his brothers entered Clairvaux as religious, leaving only Humbeline, his sister, in the world and she, with the consent of her husband, soon took the veil in the Benedictine Convent of Jully.
		The whole pontifical court was touched by the saintly demeanor of this band of monks.

	Absinthe Blind: Everyday Separation Aversion.com Review
		There are two ways bands deal with their place in the world: Some look at an existing niche and dive in head first, indulging in all the ready-made conveniences that come with an existing style.
		Absinthe Blind, however, takes the alternate, and much more difficult, route on Everyday Separation, as the band stubbornly avoids falling into a niche and instead forces the world to wrap itself around its music.
		Absinthe Blind does it with a gentle enough touch as to make its well-picked influences only shadows deep below murky waters whose surfaces dance with reflections of the band’s own light.

	Mundane Sounds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Bands such as Grandaddy, Mercury Rev, The Polyphonic Spree, and Flaming Lips are shining example of the possibilities of such a sonic union.
		Absinthe Blind are a band who may not have the name recognition of those other bands, but that's doesn't mean that they're a lesser band because of that.
		You'll quickly notice that there's a common theme between 3/4ths of the band; yes, Abisinthe Blind are practically a family group, the brothers and sister Fein.

	e.Peak (4/2/2002) arts: music: A groove of jazz and improv

		Studying in the Science and Applied Science faculties, the band members includes bass-player Colin Pan, sax-player Andrew Watson, guitarist James Anstey and on drums is Trevor Van Dyck, subsequently John-Glenn Sheares The Absinthe Groove met through the SFU Jazz Club.
		Not only using the CD to capture the essence of The Absinthe Groove, Watts explains that it records a chapter in people's lives and the spirit of the band members.

	Delusions of Adequacy Reviews - Absinthe Blind (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Now that I'm all grown up, though, and pay federal taxes and can be drafted and all, the chance to get sonically cold-cocked by a band who isn't Radiohead gets slimmer and slimmer the more bands I have recommended to me, from one source or another.
		Absinthe Blind should be touring nationally on the strength of this album; they should be getting write-ups.
		If my general ignorance towards their talent previous to this review is an indicator that they're still working their way to the top, then let me be the first to tell all of you this: This band does not deserve to go unheard.

	Amazon.com: Rings: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		At this point Absinthe Blind was experiencing a kind of sonic revolution, experimenting for the first time with female vocals.
		The album reaches its conclusion Band 2, which coincidentally is sometimes used along with Band 1 to bookend their live concerts.
		'Bands 2' is basically indescribable, if you've never heard the album, as the only thing good enough to compare it to is 'She Saves'.

		The band entered the studio yesterday to begin work on its next release, an as-yet untitled album slated for a May release.
		The band cautioned fans not to take its labels switch as a sign of friction between the band and Hammerhead records.
		"Absinthe Blind wants to make it clear to their fans that there are no bad feelings towards Hammerhead, it was simply time to move on," the band wrote on its official web site.

	PLAYBACK ST. LOUIS REVIEWS - Rings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Absinthe Blind, a fabulous rock band from Champaign, Illinois, deserves to peer down on the music industry.
		Seth Fein’s drumming is bad-ass throughout this stint of envy and propels the band into a slamming orchestral jam at exactly 3:30 into the song.
		Absinthe Blind clearly faces the difficulties of any phenomenal live band: re-creating the sound and drama in the studio.

	Absinthe Blind: The Everyday Separation - PopMatters Music Review
		Nothing about Absinthe Blind could be called bad because everyone here seems to be operating up to their potential.
		Absinthe Blind can't be written off as being bad, but the band simply isn't interesting enough to hold listener's attention.
		It is without a true direction or purpose, and while what is there is essentially fine to listen to, there's always going to be the feeling that this could have been, and probably should have been so much more.

		We were without guitar unless I played it, and Beth had never been in a band before, and she is an ok but not fl metal grade keyboardist.
		We had to park the old stuff and work out originals that we could do as a 3 piece act, and given Diane's neck injury, it also had to not be overly brutal in order for her to play something that sounded good with it.
		That being said, the Absinthe D that we as the internal members know as the band is NOTHING like that.

	John Zorn's Naked City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The series includes an album of ambient music (Absinthe), the soundtrack for an SM film (Heretic), an album that consists of a single 30-minute track (Leng Tch'e), a live album (Knitting Factory 1989), and four albums of hardcore/jazz/rock fusion (Radio, Naked City, Grand Guignol, Torture Garden).
		The title piece recalls something of Absinthe's nightmare drones but is interrupted with violent outbursts and overall has an appropriately melodramatic horror-flick patina.
		Although Absinthe is different from the typical hardcore noise and high-speed shifts of the other Naked City albums, it's still one of their best.

	Absinthe Blind - Rings
		A hugely cinematic and earthshakingly epic collection of songs, `Rings` shows the next step in the band`s evolution and comes highly recommended to fans of dramatic, dynamic, atmospheric rock a la The Doves, Radiohead, and Antarctica, dusted with a bit of Bjork and Sinead O`Connor.
		This is a band whose star is about toreach supernova status with the follow-up to their most recent album, the critically acclaimed "Everyday Separation.
		Listen to the sounds of a talented veteran band bringing everything together....This album touches on aspects of orchestral pop, psychedelia, slocore, alt-rock and shoegazing, all the while sounding only like Absinthe Blind.

	REVIEW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Of all the reasons an artist may have for a solo project, the most often cited is one of expression -- the need to put forth something personal, apart from a band's established image.
		On his new album with a new band, Absinthe, Llanas isn't breaking away from the past, he's hitting it head-on.
		Absinthe is preparing for a national tour to support the album, and I expect a lot of crying in clubs across the land.
