TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: THE STONE FOXES @ VIPER ROOM

Tonight at The Viper Room in Los Angeles, it's the San Francisco band, THE STONE FOXES, that delivered the surprise standout track on the recently released, LOVE & ROCKETS tribute record, 'New Tales To Tell', with their version of 'Fever'. Dark and dirty rock and roll here, worth rolling out to Sunset for their set.

Anyone that's been a FS reader over the years knows my undying love for the band FILM SCHOOL. I still believe their last effort, Hideout, was one of the biggest overlooked records to come out last year, but like 'ol G W. Bush, time will be the judge of history. The band is in LA now working on their next record which I'm told is sounding amazing, but if this single, "An American Dream" (from the epic 'Express' album) that is on the New Tales To Tell: A Tribute To Love And Rockets is any indication of how sonic it will be, then put your hard hat on and get ready. Big thanks to Christopher The Minister, the mastermind behind this incredible compilation, for letting us leak out this mp3 to the people. The digital release on this is July 28th, physical is on August 18th.

We stopped by The Minister's studio and got a first listen to the tracks, and we're blown away by the FILM SCHOOL track, the A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS track, and also the BLACK FRANCIS covers. One song in particular grabbed our attention by a San Francisco band we weren't aware of is by THE STONE FOXES, and The Minister was nice enough to let us give it away to you here....
