In addition to the excitement around the official launch of my new publicity company, I'm excited to tell you all of the great stuff we have coming up in the New Year! Anyone needing interviews, requesting new releases or tickets, we'd love to hear from you! Just drop a line to Sheila [at] RightOnPR.com. Now please, read on!
As if you didn't know by now, MATT AND KIM have a brand new album ready for release! 'GRAND' will be available Jan 20 on the FADER label and Matt and Kim are counting down to the album release with daily video and photo postings on their myspace page. Shortly after their Jan 22 Record Release Show at Music Hall of Williamsburg, Matt and Kim will head out on a West Coast Tour followed by a March tour with Cut Copy. Oh it all promises to be too much fun!
The brilliant EUGENE MIRMAN is set to release his entirely hilarious book 'THE WILL TO WHATEVS' next month and will celebrate the release with a super show packed with special guests at The Bell House on Feb 10 followed by a handful of US appearances. Watch for Eugene's return as the surly landlord on Season 2 of Flight Of The Conchords this month, too!
MODERNBOYS MODERNGIRLS kicked off the New Year just right playing their first ever US shows in NYC last week! The Toronto band was in town showcasing tracks from their breakout debut lp 'I Might As Well Break It' which was self-released in Canada and will see a US release later this year. In the meantime, help yourself to a free download of the awesome "My Baby Says Boy, Don't You Ever Go" and watch this space for much, much more on these guys!
Things are totally hopping over at OLIVIA WINGATE ARTISTS! Their stable of comedians have loads of shows coming up including KUMAIL NANJIANI, named on Comedy Central's Hot List, who will be performing his outstanding Paul Provenza directed one man show "Unpronounceable" in UCB in LA on Jan 22 and hitting the South Beach Comedy Festival on Jan 24. You can also catch Kumail when he opens for Eugene Mirman Jan 16 & 17 at Comix in NYC.
She sings, she jazzercises, she eats beef jerky in slow motion! ADIRA AMRAM Is: An American Idol! Come see her and her backup dancers, The Men Without Women, at Ars Nova on Feb 4 and Feb 10. Staging by Travis Chamberlain, leotards welcome.
GOD'S POTTERY, leaders of Team Jesus and they of Last Comic Standing fame, have a bunch of shows coming up which you will NOT want to miss!! Gideon and Jeremiah will be spreading the Good Word in Chapel Hill on Jan 15 @ Local 506, then move on to Charleston, SC for two nights @ Music Farm on Jan 16 & 17, and hit the west coast for three nights @ Punchline in San Francisco on Jan 29-31.

GOOSEBERRIES is the beautiful photo project by Sterling Andrews, available this spring via Eenie Meenie Records. Featuring a dozen bands including Silversun Pickups, Rogue Wave, The Happy Hollows, Earlimart, Great Northern, and Rademacher who are all included in the project, Gooseberries is a collection of fine art lithographs of the musicians photographed in front of Sterling's imaginative, original, handpainted backgrounds. Along with the portraits will be a dvd with video, interviews and stills packaged in hand-numbered, limited-edition gatefold.
