“Guess the Soundtrack with Austin Band The Calm Blue Sea”

On Wednesday, we sat down with Austin’s own The Calm Blue Sea. Not only do they launch their fall tour this week, their sophomore album, Siegfried: An Original Score, also goes on sale.

Earlier this year, they were asked by Alamo Drafthouse to compose an original score to a silent film.  They chose the 1924 Fritz Lang film Siegfried.

This past March, the band performed their one and a half hour long score to a sold out showing of the movie at the Drafthouse.  The end result was recorded and is available for purchase on all major online music download sites. [BONUS: You can watch Siegfried as scored by The Calm Blue Sea on YouTube]

EXPERIENCE: The Calm Blue Sea kick-off their fall tour TONIGHT with an album release party at The Mohawk at 11PM (right after Sword)!
