Soundtrack Update
posted by Scott on 01.25.06
Last night AT sent out a new email newsletter detailing a few of the bands who have contributed music to revisions. In case you aren't on the mailing list (shame, shame - sign up at the top of the page), here's a quick recap of eight bands we announced. As you'll read, a couple of different artists contributed more than one song. We have an extremely eclectic combination of music for revisions, with both local and national acts. I am happy to report that in no way have we compromised on any one piece of music; the revisions production staff chose each song specifically for how it worked in each respective sequence of the film. We are so grateful to all of the contributing artists for making the revisions soundtrack truly awesome.
So check out each bit below on our excellent soundtrack contributors: Low, Dan Israel, Day Kit, Greazy Meal, Terramara, AT/DT, Impossible Party, and Perfect Enemy. Be sure to follow the links to their respective websites to learn more about them, and check back in the coming weeks for more artists from the soundtrack!
Low
Song: "Little Argument With Myself"

Low is a favorite band of most of the revisions production staff, so needless to say we are incredibly excited to have them on the soundtrack. The Duluth-based band have made a big name for themselves in the many years they've been together, releasing several albums and touring with bands like Radiohead. Their soundtrack contribution, "Little Argument With Myself," comes from their 2002 CD release Trust. Low released a new CD last year titled The Great Destroyer on the Sub Pop label.
Dan Israel
Song: "Jump Through The Rings"

Like several revisions producers, Dan Israel is a former St. Louis Park kid who has gone on to make a major splash on the Minnesota music scene. Along with his band, The Cultivators, Dan has released several CDs, played and toured venues in the Twin Cities and beyond, and acquired frequent press attention. "Jump Through The Rings" was one of the very first songs placed in revisions and comes from Dan's 2003 CD Love Ain't A Cliche.
Day Kit
Songs: "Airtight" & "Rita"
Website: myspace.com/daykit
Day Kit has drawn a lot of attention for their strong songwriting. The band played the revisions fundraiser concert all the way back in June of 2003. We felt that Day Kit fit the look and feel of revisions so much that we opted to use two songs, "Airtight" and "Rita," from their 2004 CD The Amazing Year 500,000.
Greazy Meal
Song: "Universe's Baby"
Website: www.greazymeal.com
For a good chunk of the 1990s Greazy Meal was THE band to see in the Twin Cities. A group made up of incredibly fine players, the funk/soul inspired band grew a very loyal following of fans to their regular Sunday night house gig at The Cabooze in Minneapolis. After disbanding in 1999, Greazy Meal returned a couple of years ago for occasional shows and even a brand new CD in 2005. Their soundtrack contribution, "Universe's Baby," comes from that very CD of the same name.
Terramara
Songs: "Four Blocks To Hennepin" & "Invisible People"
Website: terramara.com
Terramara and their band leader, Rob Meany, have been very supportive of the revisions project from early on. The band has contributed two songs, "Four Blocks To Hennepin," from their 2005 CD of the same name, and a version of "Invisible People," recorded in 2002 specifically for revisions. Terramara was also featured at the revisions fundraiser concert in June of 2003. Last year Terramara won the WB's "Strictly Original" television original band contest, and Meany also won The Positive Pop Song Contest based out of Nashville.
AT/DT
Song: "Firefighter"
Website: myspace.com/atdt
AT/DT has the unique distinction of being the only contributor to perform a song live for the revisions soundtrack. "Firefighter," originally a track on the band's 2002 CD Rock 4 The People, is performed by the band (appearing in revisions under the moniker "The Joint Compounds") at a party scene. Each member of the band also makes several cameo appearances in the film.
Impossible Party
Song: "Innocence Is Hell"
Website: impossibleparty.com
Minneapolis-based guitarist Park Evans leads Impossible Party and contributed a much-needed jazz piece, "Innocence Is Hell," to a sequence in "revisions." Park and a few of his comrades can be found playing in numerous configurations several days and nights a week throughout venues in the Twin Cities area.
Perfect Enemy
Song: "Fly"
Website: perfectenemy.com
Perfect Enemy (formerly Sound & Fury) was another band that contributed well beyond just their song for the revisions film. The band headlined the revisions fundraiser concert in June of 2003 and was on hand to help at a couple of location shoots. The song "Fly" was also featured in the first revisions movie trailer. Having made a serious mark on the metal scene in the Twin Cities, Perfect Enemy is currently preparing to release a new CD this year.
