New releases for Sept. 22, 2009
Pillar
Tulsa-based Christian rock band Pillar releases its new studio album, “Confessions,” today on Provident Music Group (which is part of Sony Music Group).
In DVDs, the new short “Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death” comes out today. I’m a huge Wallace and Gromit fan, so I got my review in early. You can read it by clicking here.
And in books, I’m currently reading the entertaining new memoir by Scottish-American “Late, Late Show” host Craig Ferguson, ” “American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot,” which also enters stores today.

Hey, M2,
Pillar lead singer Rob Beckley lives in Tulsa. When I interviewed him last year, Beckley said he and drummer Noah Henson (who is still in the band) both lived in Tulsa. Beckley also recorded a promo spot in August for “Confessions” at Incredible Pizza “at home in Tulsa.” If you’d like to check it out, here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSU-NAeO9Oo.

In case nobody’s looked at any promo photos in at least a year or more: The guys in Pillar who were from Tulsa are no longer in Pillar.
The Tulsa/Oklahoma guys are in a band called Stars Go Dim.
