FUTURE SOUNDS 'THE TOUR' TAB IS LIVE

Check out the new 'THE TOUR' tab in the navigation above for a full-on feast of Future Sounds Tour info, pictures, videos, message boards, etc. Hey, our tour got mentioned today in HITS.

In other news, the UK act, OK TOKYO that we like so much, are self-releasing only 99 copies of their The Sums / Electro Metro CD available for pre-order through the band's official site at www.oktokyo.co.uk.

According to their email blast, the CD features 2 tracks, "Sums" which is the first ever OK Tokyo track and is a dirty indie / sleazy rock anthem, and "Electro Metro" is a pop ridden / filth funk tribute to everything that is wrong with the world.

Check it out: The BBC did a nice feature on this - HERE.






In Arizona tonight, DUST & BLOOD are set to play at ANDERSON'S FIFTH ESTATE for a warm up show for EDGEFEST.

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE:

CONSTANTINES, a band I think is truly important and not to be confused with that American Idol goon, have signed with ARTS & CRAFTS Records. Another score for A&C, however on a sad note, DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS (FS08) have called it quits.


EDITORS (FS18) perform on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Tonight, Friday, September 21st on NBC at 11:30pm/10:30c. Damn, seems like yesterday we had them on Future Sounds as a demo, now they're all Jay Leno and shit. Congrats!

Hopefully you remember THAO NGUYEN from Future Sounds 25, well her new material produced by Tucker Martine is amazing and for all of you NYC listers, she'll be out East playing with her band THE GET DOWN STAY DOWN at 9 PM this Sunday the 23rd at Living Room in NYC.
