TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: APES OF WRATH @ VIPER ROOM

If you follow us at all, you know we're freaks for anything having to do with monkeys, and so we were instantly smitten when friends turned us onto one of the coolest bands in existence from San Diego - APES OF WRATH. We've been playing "Wide Awake" on the FS radio show quite a bit off their newly released EP on Obscure Magpie Records (now that's a label name) and are pleased to have added them to our soon to be announced, RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO show at The Casbah. They are on early - hit me up if you need some list action, I have a few slots.

JUST ANNOUNCED - LINE UP FOR THE FIRST RUMBLE: SEATTLE

We've just locked in the line-up inaugural RUMBLE: SEATTLE party launching at The Crocodile in Seattle on August 3rd. Going forward it will be the first stop on the monthly Rumble tour circuit and always be on the first Monday of every month (Tues = Portland, Wed = San Fran, etc).

Playing the party are two Seattle heavyweights - THE BLAKES and U.S.E. (United States of Electronica), and one up-and-comer with tons of promise in BATTLE HYMNS. We're going to have some great guest DJ's and the whole thing is only $5.

Future Sounds is gloating because we've hooked up with partners like THE STRANGER, the daily habit for Seattle as their weekly newspaper and LINE OUT, the largest blog in town that is also a part of The Stranger. EASY STREET RECORDS will also be a partner, as well as local party promotions team, THE WIG and of course, our friends and brothers at WOXY.COM.

VIDEO: O. CHILDREN "DEAD DISCO DANCER"

Here's the video to "Dead Disco Dancer" by the UK act, O. CHILDREN, a song we premiered earlier today on the FS radio show. It's right up your alley if you're into NICK CAVE or THE HORRORS. This track is addictive after you spin it a few times and come on, just look at this band photo, what's not to love? Also anyone watch TRUE BLOOD? Is that dancer in the video really the horned beast from the show? We are intrigued to say the very least, now we need to get them to play our forthcoming RUMBLE: LONDON party.
