FUTURE SOUNDS UPDATES

KARIN TATOYAN, someone we love here at Future Sounds, was just featured on the Los Angeles Times' BUZZ BANDS column - Click Here to read the story. Look for her song "Fit In" on the upcoming Sweet Sounds 2 compilation at HERE.

AUTOVAUGHN (FS29) SIGN TO EPIC RECORDS

Nashville's Autovaughn got picked up by the big time, are 3/4 way done with their full length with Brian Virtue, and are in the process of some serious touring of the US through April of the South and Midwest. Congrats!


Another band we really care about here are THE DIGGS from Brooklyn, NY. The trio have completed a full length set for a March 11th release on Sugarspun Records called 'Ctrl-Alt-Del', and are holding a listening party tomorrow night (Feb 13th) at Hi-Fi (169 Avenue A at 10th St.) starting at 9:45 PM.


The Denver collective once known as NATHAN & STEPHEN (FS30) have changed their name to HEARTS OF PALM - not to be confused with the HEARTS OF PALM UK that live in Los Angeles. Check out their "The Bridge EP".

NEW SOUNDS: CATHY DAVEY & KARIN TATOYAN

This post is all about sugar and spice. Two ladies making incredible music - one so sweet, and the other with some sass.

First up, from Dublin, Ireland, CATHY DAVEY. WOW! A voice like an angel and some spunk and a sense of pure fun for a change. I was instantly taken by "Reuben", a song that can pick up your day if you can turn it up loud enough. Then slide into "Sing For Your Supper" and "Can't Help It" and you'll understand how the entire full length, "Tales of the Silversee" (Parlophone) plays out. She's spent all her time in Ireland and the rest of the UK, and I have to figure out a way to get her to the States.

Here is "Reuben" (mp3) thanks to Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream.

Now for some home cookin', Los Angeles based KARIN TATOYAN. I just was tipped off about and this 23 year old gal with a colorful history has something haunting about her voice. Kind of reminds me of Harriet Wheeler of THE SUNDAYS or like a HOPE SANDOVAL. I have been really playing "Fit In" in heavy rotation off her Stereotype Records EP, "History Of Stains". She's playing the Echo with the RADAR BROTHERS in January (21) and then the Troubadour a few days later (25).
