The Officially Unofficial Site of iLiKETRAiNS! http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:16:31 -0700 en-us Thanks to Katlov from the messageboard, we have two new iLiKETRAiNS songs to listen to. These were recorded on 21 June 2008 at the Library in Leeds, England. Check them out here: http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=86 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:07:38 -0700 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=86 Starting on Monday 28th April 2008, iLiKETRAiNS will be editing the online version of Art Rocker magazine. According to a magazine representative posting on the iLT forum, the band will be giving their opinions, writing reviews and allowing us to "get inside their heads." Additionally, they are doing a "makeover" of the site, whatever this may mean. As if the band wasn't busy enough, they went off and did something like this. It should be something exciting to look forward to tomorrow. http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=85 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 14:05:16 -0700 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=85 iLiKETRAiNS/Broken Pixel will be offering a special screening of the forthcoming Elegies to Lessons Learnt. The screening will take place in Leeds, England at the Hyde Park Picture House on May 26th, 2008 at 6:30 PM. The cost of the screening is 4.50 to 5.50 pounds. More info will soon be available here.

The DVD is out April 21st, 2008 and can be pre-ordered from recordstore or purchased on tour. Make sure you get your order in as the DVD is apparently limited to 1000 copies. http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=83 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 16:09:13 -0700 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=83 iLiKETRAiNS snuck a little gem out the door with the launch of their new YouTube Channel: the release date and trailer for the Elegies to Lessons Learnt DVD. It is to be released on 21 April 2008, the same day We Go Hunting is set to be released. The subtle announcement read: "DVD and single - 21st April 21st of April is a big date for the diary. Limited Edition DVD version of the album, featuring a full length animated film and lots of interesting extras and 7" Single both released." In addition to giving us the release date, they also released a short trailer for the DVD that's sure to make any iLiKETRAiNS fan salivate. http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=82 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:01:22 -0800 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=82 iLiKETRAiNS have officially launched their YouTube channel, calling it iLiKETRAiNSofficial. The channel includes videos of live performances of Tera Nova, William's Last Breath, Spencer Perceval and more from various concerts, TV and radio sessions. Additionally, there is tour documentary of sorts that puts the band both in front of and behind the camera documenting their recent trip to Athens. The 10 minute clip includes a soundtrack created by the band for a film that was apparently never made. It showcases the band both off and on stage, traveling through airports, getting exercise, and chatting up fans. Judging by the dates that much of this material has been added, the guys have been at this for a while. The content is fantastic and we hope that they keep it coming. Thanks! http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=81 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:07:58 -0800 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=81 The eagerly anticipated B-side to "We Go Hunting" is now available at the UK iTunes store and at 7digital. While the single was originally slated to be released today, it was pushed back to 21 April 2008 to coincide with the Spring 2008 European tour. It appears that the digital retailers did not get the memo. The song is a beautiful 4 minute, 3 second opus that tells the story of Corey Giles, a farmer in early colonial America who was crushed to death by stone weights in an attempt to force him plea guilty to the charge of witchcraft. Thanks to windy miller from the messageboard, we now have the lyrics as well: More weight, more weight All the stones you've thrown More weight They weigh down upon my soul More weight And though it bends it never breaks More weight, more weight You mark my words More weight You'll get what you deserve More weight And though they bend they never break More weight, more weight More weight, more weight, more weight Do unto me what you want and say what you will You and I both know I'll never be what you fear the most For when our time comes on this earth I'll let it be known of all the stones thrown You cast the first You mark my words More weight You'll get what you deserve More weight And though they bend they never break More weight, more weight More weight, more weight, more weight http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=80 Fri, 08 Feb 2008 13:58:51 -0800 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=80 A little journey over to the iLiKETRAiNS webpage revealed more information about the coming iLiKETRAiNS Youtube Channel. The announcement reads: "The 11th Feb will see the launch of the official iLT YouTube Channel. The channel will launch with a short film of the recent trip to Athens as made by the band and a preview of the forthcoming DVD. All the single videos will be there as well. The Channel will also include all the television programs they have been involved in and also an exclusive showing of 2 very special live performances. One recorded in Brooklyn (from 2007) and one in Paris (From 2006)." Sounds like a load of great iLiKETRAiNS footage. It should be quite a channel! http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=79 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 21:05:25 -0800 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=79 Exactly what it is, we do not know. What we do know, however, is that iLiKETRAiNS have a "Youtube Channel" in the works and it's coming soon. Simon wrote on the messageboard: "Hey guys. We are launching a YouTube channel from Monday 11th Feb. Will be full of good content and a lot of un-seen things! ace!" Could this be the mysterious DVD project that we hear about from time to time? Are we gonna see videos for the rest of Elegies? Are iLiKETRAiNS jumping into reality television? We really have no clue what might happen, but we know that it's coming in less than two weeks, so stay tuned! http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=78 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 20:06:50 -0800 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=78 iLiKETRAiNS have scheduled their first ever show is Russia. They show will be at Apelsin Club in Moscow, Russia on 28 May 2008. One must wonder how this one-off date came to be, but without a doubt, congratulations goes out to the band for getting the chance to play to a Russian audience and further spreading their music to the ears of fans all over the world. http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=77 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 13:26:56 -0800 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=77 iLiKETRAiNS have added more tour dates to their ever-expanding 2008 tour itinerary.

If you are one to covet such rare items, these tickets can be scooped up at the very reasonable price of 7.00 pounds. The only problem with the tickets being so cheap is that they will go extremely fast. Buy them here, immediately! http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=75 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:29:52 -0800 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=75 iLiKETRAiNS announced that Kyte (myspace) will be opening each date of their forthcoming European tour (11 April 2008 - 10 May 2008). In addition to Kyte, they will also be grabbing as-yet-unknown local acts to help open their shows. Simon also reported that tickets are going fast for these gigs. With the intimate venue sizes and iLiKETRAiNS' growing popularity, people are snatchin' up tickets quickly. Make sure you act now and get your tickets if you are planning on attending. http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=74 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 15:15:55 -0800 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=74 Following the excitement of the release of the "We Go Hunting" video, the band have announced that the release of the single will again be delayed until April 21st. From the source: "The Single 'We Go Hunting' will now be released on April 21st to coincide with the recent tour announcement." There you have it. We'll have to wait 2 more months to hear "More Weight," but hopefully the strategy of releasing the single to coincide with the tour will bring new fans into the fold. http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=73 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 13:41:47 -0800 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=73 Direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxPD3ITP3LE http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=72 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 13:36:17 -0800 http://www.thisgreenandpleasantland.com/news_display.php?id=72
