May 7th, 2012 Tyler Osborne

The video is absolutely gorgeous, and the Huffington Post did a really great interview article with the band, which can be read here. Explosions in the Sky has always been known to evoke imagery in listeners heads, so it’s really interesting to see what the band and the director …

Explosions In The Sky Marquee

Marquee advertises Explosions In The Sky concert on September 11

August 19th, 2011 Jenna

Well, this is one poorly-timed concert. A venue in Boise, Idaho has a marquee that reads “Explosions In The Sky Concert Sept. 11,” which is promoting the band’s upcoming show. The concert, of course, takes place on the tenth anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks.

The band has, not surprisingly, had to deal with 9/11-related questions in the past. They released their second album Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever, in late August 2001, just before the attacks.

You can view the band’s upcoming tour dates here.
