FUTURE SOUNDS RADIO DEBUTS 1.25.10

More information on bands that debuted this week on the FUTURE SOUNDS radio show on WOXY....

WORLD'S GREATEST GHOSTS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Portland, OR
TRACK: Phantastes
Thanks to the 3 Imaginary Girls folks for tipping us off on this band, someone doing well in the Pacific NW, but should in 2010 spook everyone with perfect indie rock. (Lucky Madison Records)

TV TORSO
WEB SITE
HOMETOWN: Austin
TRACK: The Days Of Being Wild
No stranger to WOXY, but new to FS, the band has already teamed up with our WOXY family for a show together and they'll be headlining the inaugural RUMBLE: AUSTIN party on February 11th at Beerland. Unsigned

VANAPRASTA
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles
TRACK: Color Of Sin
Silverlake's VANAPRASTA sent us over the short-but-sweet EP called 'Forming The Shapes' and we were hooked. Big harmonies, finger snaps, music ready for some great film and TV placements We need to see this one live, soon. Unsigned

GOLDHAWKS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: London
TRACK: 1996
Another act that is appearing on a lot of 'Ones to Watch in 2010' lists, London's GOLDHAWKS have that Brit sound that is oh-so English, but will it translate stateside? I hope so, I want to see these kids live. Unsigned

CLOUD CONTROL
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Sydney, Australia
TRACK: Gold Canary
Indie folk is everywhere and here's Sydney's answer to Fleet Foxes with CLOUD CONTROL, although these kids are strumming to their own folkie-roots. Many are watching this band for a 2010 run at the hype machine. (Ivy League Records)

SUPER EXTRA BONUS PARTY
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Kildare, Ireland
TRACK: Comets (Ft. Heathers)
I just missed this indie-electro act when I was in Dublin for the Hard Working Class Heroes Festival and now I'm regretting it, this has something super extra to it. This particular track features the ladies of HEATHERS, a FS favorite as well. Unsigned

DIRTY DANCING
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Austin, TX
TRACK: Black Blood
This is some dark music, think Tom Waits meets The Bad Seeds. Austin's DIRTY DANCING will be playing our first ever RUMBLE: AUSTIN party @ Beerland in February. Blood is the new black....Unsigned

REGRETS & BRUNETTES
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Fullerton, CA
TRACK: Uh-Oh
We don't only love this band because they hail from the same fine city as our FS family members Brock and Veronica (Fullerton), but because this track, "Uh-Oh" made an instant impact. Not sure how it didn't make it in THE HOT 5, probably because it just arrived. Unsigned

EBONY BONES
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: London, Outer Space
TRACK: We Know All About You
If Parliament's George Clinton had a baby girl and Grace Jones was the mother, EBONY BONES would that love child. It's a debut for FS radio, but we've been playing her since April 2008 on our Little Radio show and are thrilled that she'll be headlining February's THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN @ Southpaw with MNDR. This one is wild, wild, wild!

SAVOIR ADORE
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Brooklyn
TRACK: We Talk Like Machines
Sometimes the demos and promo disc pile on the desk can be intimidating, and this band was on my 'must listen to' stack a few times and somehow never registered, so we're late on this Brooklyn four-piece, but right on time in my book. Their full-length, 'In The Wooded Forest' is superb. (Cantora Records)

WHAT LAURA SAYS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Tempe, Arizona
TRACK: Training
Tempe, Arizona? Isn't that Gin Blossoms territory? I thought the Long Wong's was closed?? This former duo has grown into a five-piece and has grown into a lush sound that is far from ordinary or even what everyone else is doing. (Terpsikhore Records)

GAVIN GUSS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Seattle
TRACK: Lifeboat
Seattle's GAVIN GUSS is no rookie, he's been kicking around a bit, playing with the likes of Nada Surf, Jon Auer, Harvey Danger, Fountains of Wayne and fronting his own bands, but now drops his first solo record ~ 'Mercury Mine' (Obsolete Media)
