So much fun! The Warner Bros New York office bowled up a storm with Sire Records' Armor For Sleep this week to celebrate the band's upcoming record, Smile For Them, out Oct. 30th!
Here's a few snap shots from the night.. enjoy. Many thanks to Bowlmor Lanes in NYC for taking good care of us.
Have you seen Regina's new video for "Better", where she clones herself?? I don't think she could be any better!
... Kevin O. was one of the lucky few to get his hands on one of these Sire T-Shirts. They're limited edition, and seriously, we had to keep the small box of tees we had under lock and key to keep them from mysteriously disappearing. He looks fabulous in yellow, huh?
Against Me! made their Late Show debut on August 29th when they performed Stop! from their Sire Debut, New Wave. The band is currently touring the US (dates below)
9/4 Poughkeepsie, NY The Chance
9/5 Brooklyn, NY Music Hall of Williamsburg
The original Noise Addict, Ben Lee, recently recorded his version of the Against Me! album New Wave.
The singer posted the following entry on his blog:
Dynamic twin duo Tegan and Sara Quin have just wrapped a sold-out club tour of the USA. All tix for the tour disappeared immediately after a single posting on www.teganandsara.com Following Canadian & UK dates, T&S will return to States for a full national tour, kicking off in Los Angeles at the prestigious Orpheum Theater on Oct 29, 2007. Check their website for details. In the meantime, check out a clip from AOL/Spinner.Com here:

Let them in already! Hot Hot Heat's new video for their first single, "Let Me In" shows the band trying to get into a club in LA (sometimes it's quite a feat), which ironically, they're headlining at. Steve Bays goes through an obstacle course of bouncers a homeless person, and finally sneaks in the back through the kitchen. Success!
Mastodon have joined the line-up to play this year's Vegoose Festival in lovely Las Vegas! The fest will take place from October 26th thru October 28th this Fall.
Here's a recent photo of them from the Pitchfork Festival, expect similar signs of aggression at Vegoose:

Hot Hot Heat get the crowd going with the new songs ("Harmonicas and Tambourines", "Let Me In") and old favorites ("Talk to Me, Dance With Me," "Bandages") at The Greek theatre last week in Los Angeles. They opened for Snow Patrol (no inserting clever pun about snow and heat---so done already), and are excited about their upcoming new record Happiness LTD out September 11, 2007.
