  • Consider The Source Drop Star Wars-Inspired Music Video “Kashyyyk”

    Consider The Source, a NYC-based progressive jazz-rock trio, dropped their newest track alongside a music video for “Kashyyyk.” The video explores the band’s Eastern influences, with psychedelic graphics to accompany the new song.

    Consider The Source

    Consider The Source made a name for themselves in the NYC scene with their unique, genre-bending sound. During the pandemic, the group found themselves stranded apart from each other, forcing them to learn new techniques to record and collaborate. Their newest album, a re-issued version of their Are You Watching Closely, comes nearing the 15-year anniversary of its original release.

    Consider The Source Kashyyyk

    The group’s newest single, “Kashyyyk” is a reference to a Star Wars fictional planet, where Chewbacca calls home. The psych-rock track demanded over 30 hours of work by producer Jacob Nadeau and editor Francesca Belcastro. 

    Consider The Source will embark on a US tour this fall, with four dates in Woodstock, Saratoga Springs, Rochester, and New York City. The group will support numerous acts, including SkyDaddy, Bella’s Bartok, The Mushroom Cloud, and more. More information and tickets are available here.

  • Consider the Source Announce “Are You Watching Closely” Tour

    Consider the Source, NYC-based jazz fusion and progressive metal trio, have announced their next tour: Are You Watching Closely, where they’ll rock through the East Coast with two tour dates in Saratoga Springs and Rochester this fall.

    Consider the Source is a band that defies easy categorization. Think intergalactic booty-shaking energy, soaked in Indian and Middle Eastern styles. A relentless touring schedule has earned them a fervent following around the world, with fans ranging from tie dye hippies, to head-to-toe black clothed metalheads.

    The band is ready to get back to the face-melting electric shows they have become known for. After their most recent Maxx Power Tour, they have a lot to live up to: and they do. The band is also preparing for the release of their next album in 2024 which they have shared will include “some of the heaviest music we have written yet,” and plan to begin weaving some of these songs into their live shows on this tour.

    With their tour announcement came their first ever vinyl pressing of their 2009 album Are You Watching Closely. “The original version took up about a side and a half on vinyl so we decided to do something special for this one. We added 2 bonus songs, “Kashyyyk” and “Put Your Face Away,” which we recorded remotely in each of our home studios and are calling “2023 BONUS DEMOS”. (Both songs had been performed live in the early days of the band but never recorded until now)”

    Consider the Source is also giving 3 lucky fans a chance to win a FREE pair of tickets to a show, plus a vinyl test pressing of the album. Visit their Facebook or Instagram pages to enter.
