Hi there. We're Seila Chiara.
Seila Chiara is J-B. Alamy playing bass, Rafik El Alami playing guitar and other stuff, Rémi Komornicki singing and playing some guitar, Stan Marques playing guitar and singing once in a while, and Nicolas Sok playing drums.
It's a lot of passion, hard work and friendship.
It's a bunch of dreamy kids.
It's thoughts and problems being evacuated.
It's what you want it to be.
It's not what you think it will be.
We've got a new live video up! It features the three songs from our split record played live in Lyon during our release party last may.
"Standing Up on Swings", "Red Tape" and "That Way Madness Lies", live at Lyon (Le Trokson) on May 28th, 2010.

New song - Red Tape
...And our side of the split record with Orfèvre is now fully available for you to listen to on our website. Just go to the "Listen" section and listen to all three songs, with the new instrumental "Red Tape" filling the gap between the two other songs.
You can also help us out by purchasing this split record, which is available in CD format for 7€. Just contact us if you're interested.
Thanks!

The future ahead
During the next few months we will be working on releasing our EP (it's practically been a year since we recorded it...), which is still in the process of being mixed. The wait is slowly draining us but we'll get through it.
As we wait for that we're starting to write some new songs, for a possible first LP. Our heads are filled with ideas accumulated during this year of wearying sterility, so we're really excited.
We haven't planned any concerts any time soon. Maybe we'll plan some for our EP release if that ever comes. But if you want to have us play at a show, by all means, let us know!
Lots of love.

Split with Orfèvre - available tomorrow!
So, since tonight is our release party, this means that the split with Orfèvre will be available tomorrow.
You can order it from us by sending us a nice sweet email to seilachiara@free.fr, and we'll figure it out. It costs 7€, and we'll see about the shipping costs once we know where you're from.
We only have 50 copies, and we're not sure we'll get any more after this so if you wan't one (in my opinion) you really shouldn't hesitate...
Here it is:
We're really excited...And we hope to have company tonight for our party!

Split Release Party!
Friday May 28th we will be doing a release party for the split record with Orfèvre.
We will be playing with Orfèvre and local band called Gloria Parchoc' in Lyon at the Trokson (more info in the shows section).
We will start selling the split record at this show and thereafter, as well as make it fully available to listen to on our website.
Unfortunately, we will not be releasing it as a free download this time, in respect to the hard work our record label put into making this release possible.
We only have 50 copies of this split record, so if you want a copy please don't hesitate! We will be selling it at the price of 7€. Just write to us and we'll find a way to get it sent to you, or come to the show if you're in Lyon!

Fixed Download Link
I just realised (thank you Loïc) that the download link to We'll Build an Ark wasn't working. I fixed it. I have a feeling it's been like that for awhile. Sorry! You can now download "We'll Build an Ark" if you wish to do so...

Oh and our split record with Orfèvre will be sent in the next few days to be pressed, so it should be released sometime in May! We're very excited about that.

News on future releases
Ok so our split record which was supposed to be shared with Orfèvre and the Japanese band Birth will finally only be shared with Orfèvre since, sadly, Birth has had some problems making it to the recording room.
The plans have changed and here is what we will be doing:
- A split record with Orfèvre which will be released in CD format through Tokyo Jupiter Records in Japan.
- A 7" which will be released in vinyl format in Europe, either through a European record label which we have yet to find, or in a D.I.Y fashion!
If all goes well it should be released before summer.
We are also working on getting our EP mixed, after which we will be searching for a record label to work with for the release.
Oh and I'd like to thank all of the people that have been coming to our shows in Lyon these days and the people that have helped us organize them! We love you all.
Next show is in Geneva with Le pré où je suis mort and Sofy Major!

Basel, October 4th with Adolar
We will be playing in Basel (Switzerland) on the 4th of October. Some kind of love reunion with our best friends Adolar + Rafik's birthday combo show! This is kind of last minute but it will give us a nice break from all the recording (which is still underway...and is getting very long and exhausting).

Split release delayed
The split record release has been delayed due to some time problems on birth's behalf. They should be able to record their songs in December so the split record should be released early 2010 by Tokyo Jupiter Records.
Our songs for this record are currently being mixed and should be previewed when they are ready before the physical release.

Now recording
This week we are recording a new EP, which will be 6 songs long. These songs were written prior to our April Tour, so they have all been played live before.
We will be searching for a record label in Europe once we finish these songs to release it here in 2010, and should be releasing it in Japan through Tokyo Jupiter Records if everything goes right!

Upcoming stuff
Right now we're finishing recording our part of the 3-way Split with the bands Birth (Japan) and Orfèvre (Lyon). This split record will be released by Tokyo Jupiter Records as soon as possible (hopefully in October/November).
Beginning of September we will start recording our upcoming EP (6 songs). It should be released in Japan by Tokyo Jupiter Records, and we are looking for a European record label that would be interested in releasing it here.
We won't be playing any shows until we finish recording. Afterwards we should be playing a few shows now and then until we have the opportunity to tour once again. If you're interested in having us play, don't keep it to yourself!
Take care.
