Yesterday marked 3 years since the release of “Specter at the Feast” and the first show of the South American dates at House of Vans in São Paulo, Brazil. There are a number of videos and photos already posted online. Many more are posted on this site’s Facebook page, plus links to many new interviews (in Spanish and Portuguese) are added to the Interview page.
Also, you can view a clip of “Conscience Killer” from “Live in Paris” below:
BRMC posted a video of “Fire Walker” on their Facebook page along with this message:
We’ve just found out from our distributor that we’re now allowed to post various live clips from the DVD+Album “Live In Paris”. So we’ll likely be posting a handful of clips throughout the month, which is cool.
It can’t be the entire live video of course, but for those of you who missed out before here’s a glimpse into what was a very special night for all of us at the close of our tour.

After some slight snags, the Live in Paris CD/DVD is now officially released! Some places have gotten it on the release date (June 9th), though this notice was posted on BRMC’s Facebook page:
It hasn’t gone unnoticed by us that several people have expressed their frustration at not having yet received their CD/DVD order of Live in Paris. We hear you and have checked with the various web stores & labels around the world and can confirm that all CD/DVD orders have been shipped at the beginning of this week, with the exception of those in the US who ordered both the CD/DVD & vinyl, who have been contacted directly.
Please let us know if you HAVE received your order or if you’re still waiting as we are doing everything we can to hold the labels and stores accountable for delivering on their end.
We will stay all over this until everyone receives their order.
Here is the official email announcement from BRMC’s mailing list on the release, along with some excellent photos by Wallendorff Photography:
LIVE IN PARIS IS AVAILABLE NOW!
“Like giving birth to a raging baby rhinoceros, this “Live in Paris” DVD is finally out. It’s been an obscene labor of love from day one with everything from artwork, to audio mixing, mastering, to Peter having a demon skull CGI’ed onto his face. But it’s finally out of our filthy hands and hopefully into yours very soon.
Thank you to everyone again for being so understanding with the audio fixes we had to make at the last minute, hopefully it’s worth the wait though. And for all of you overseas I guess we’ll be seeing you for another round of bruises and bites real soon. We do wish we could play more shows in more countries this summer but we still need to take it somewhat slow right now. Leah has been killing it though this week, training like she’s in a goddamn Rocky montage, someone really needs to give her an Ativan or something, the girls officially off her rocker.”

If you’ve pre-ordered “Live in Paris,” you may have already gotten your digital download of the audio. Unfortunately, we will have to wait a little longer for the DVD. BRMC sent this update on Thursday with a mention on how Leah is doing:
Hey, we wanted to give everyone a quick update on the Live In Paris DVD.
So last month, when we first received the Master Copy of the DVD to approve, we noticed this strange little digital glitch in the audio (it wasn’t anything too serious, but it was like nails on a chalkboard to us). I guess the good news is that we caught the problem in time, and it has since been fixed. The bad news is that it has caused the release date to be pushed back about a month. It was a hard to call to make, but we didn’t feel right shipping the DVD out like that.
In the meantime, we want to apologize to you by sending you a link where you can immediately download mp3’s of ALL of the songs on the album.
In other news, we’ve begun rehearsing again with Leah (post surgery) and she is beating the living hell out of the drums again. She still needs to take it easy for the next couple weeks though and not hammer a hole through her snare drum, but so far all signs seem to be pointing towards a fairly strong recovery.
The bionic girl returns +
You will be receiving information from Firebrand with a link to download the MP3s.
BRMC have posted some clips from the new 33.3% Documentary by Yana Amur, which is accompanying the new Live in Paris CD/DVD sets now available to pre-order from BRMC’s website:
Here’s the email announcement sent to the BRMC mailing list:
BRMC Live In Paris
‘It was a little over a year ago while sitting in the back of a passenger van outside Tokyo, all of us covered in sweat and half cocked grins trying to catch our breath after having just walked off stage, I just remember someone muttering the idea that we might actually really want to think about filming one of these shows before it’s all over’
‘I guess my first reaction was that we could all use a very long hot shower much more than another live DVD at that exact moment. My second was that it might be a shame if we reached the end of that tour without capturing any of the beauty and even brutality of it. But a lot of the music we create is not only where we exist, but also where we escape to.’
‘It’s difficult though with film to avoid making a band into just another ‘reality show’ crafted into a product on a shelf, and at the same time just painting a plain picture of a live concert would be like a dream without very much color or feeling.
In the end we have released two separate films to show both sides of the same coin….
‘Live In Paris’ is the dream.
And ‘33.3% Documentary’ is the morning after.
We hope you enjoy what you find’
