Titanmoon Opening Orphanage in Pakistan

Friday, November 6th, 2009 by Anthony Mariani

Sophisticated indie-pop rock band Titanmoon has just returned from a tour/goodwill mission to Dubai, Japan, and Pakistan. The Fort Worth group will be opening an orphanage/school in Karachi, Pakistan, in 2010, with help from Pakistani benefactors. “Our intent in going there was to encourage Pakistanis to help Pakistanis in need,” the band said. “This will definitely be a culmination of those efforts.”

Multiple bombings in Pakistan kept the band on edge. Some performances had to be canceled to ensure the musicians’ safety. However, the band plans on returning to Pakistan, both to perform and monitor the progress of the orphanage/school.

On Tuesday, Titanmoon frontman Tyler Casey will present a gift from Fort Worth’s Japanese sister city, Nagaoka, to Fort Worth City Council.

The band is currently recording an album-length follow-up to 2008’s marvelous Film Black.

U2-ish Fort Worth rockers Titanmoon will be traveling to Pakistan in October to help raise awareness of and financial support for private schooling there –– the public school system, Titanmoon says, is “practically non-existent and leaves huge holes.” The band will perform for the mayor of Karachi and possibly also President Zardari. Also in October, the band will travel to Japan as ambassadors of Fort Worth and perform in our Japanese sister city, Nagaoka. Closer to now, Titanmoon will be performing on Good Morning Texas on Thu., Sept. 3, and tonight (Friday) at The Cavern (1914 Greenville Av, Dallas, 214-828-1914).

The band is in the studio and hopes to release a new album by the Holidays.

On Saturday at Lola’s Saloon-Sixth (2736 W 6th St, in the West 7th Street corridor, 817-877-0666), the monthly Good Show Showcase will star Red Animal War, True Widow, and self-proclaimed “Fort Worth’s Shittiest Band!” The Me-Thinks. Tix are $6.

Fort Worth metal will be in full effect tonight (Friday) at Ridglea Theater (6025 Camp Bowie Blvd, on the West Side, 817-738-9500), when three Fort Worth head-banging bands –– Within Chaos, Stir the Silence, and The Funeral Procession –– share a bill with Dead Rising, American Lab Rat, and Cinder Cell.

This week’s free Monday show at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios (411 E Sycamore St, Denton. 940-387-7781) will feature Bad Sports, Fort Worth’s Drug Mountain, The Uptown Bums, and Fred Xeppelin and the Meatles (featuring Nevada Hill, Sarah Alexander, and half of Yells at Eels: brothers Aaron Gonzalez and Stefan Gonzalez).

On a non-music-related note, this weekend AMC Grapevine Mills will continue its recent tradition of screening Korean films by showing Haeundae, a disaster film about a tsunami hitting the city of Busan. Weekly film critic Kristian Lin said, “I haven’t had a chance to see it yet, but I’ll be out there in the next few days. I’ll let you know how it turns out.”
