RIGHT ON PR FEBRUARY NEWS !
We've got nothing but goodness to cozy up to here, Folks. Read on!
Hey everyone! THE INTERIORS have new shows coming up ! Since the release of their blistering self-titled debut full length last year, The Interiors set out on multiple mini-tours gathering up fans all along the way. The press hailed the trio's "easy ferocity" while back home 'The Interiors' was named The No. 1 Local Release by Chicagoist who cheered the band saying "It's been awhile since Chicago produced a great guitar rock band"! First up, a hometown show this Thursday, February 5 at the Hideout followed by MORE SHOWS before they hit SXSW!
MATT & KIM continue the awesomeness ON TOUR NOW in support of their brand new lp 'Grand'. The Brooklyn duo kicked it all off with a sold out (in advance!) show in their borough and are now taking the hot fun all along the west coast. Watch this space for their new video "Lessons Learned" coming soon! Next month, a big tour with Cut Copy, too!
We're also really happy to announce that BRASSTRONAUT will be hitting the States super soon for SXSW and a bunch of other shows just in time for the US release of their amazing 'Old World Lies' EP. Until then, the Toronto group are huddled up in Banff recording their new full length which will see a Fall release and we're keeping up with Brasstronaut via Edo's awesome journo and you can, too!
As a co-creator and former head writer of The Daily Show, and co-founder of Air America Radio, LIZZ WINSTEAD is easily the best wit in all of political comedy. Next month, Lizz will bring her SHOOT THE MESSENGER live multi-media sketch comedy show to LA for two nights at Steve Allen Theater on MARCH 17 & 18! Shoot The Messenger is a media-smart satirical wrap-up of the week's news all written, produced and starring some of the best political comics and writers, including Lizz herself, plus special guests in an every-expanding cast. As The Comic's Comic says, "If you haven't seen Lizz Winstead's latest creation, then you're missing out." A must-see!
And if you are in NY, don't miss ADIRA AMRAM's shows at Ars Nova Feb 4 & 11! And what are you in for? "Watching the neon leotarded Amram sing nonsensical songs behind her Casio is like seeing a unicorn hit puberty." Fun!
Sterling Andrews' GOOSEBERRIES project has a release party all lined up for Thursday, April 2nd. The beautiful Center for the Arts in Eagle Rock is the setting where Sterling's handmade backdrops and prints will be displayed. Watch this space for announcements of the bands from Gooseberries who will play as well! Gooseberries will be release April 4 through Eenie Meenie Records.
