THE DODOS SIGN TO FRENCH KISS RECORDS

Congratulations go out to Meric Long and THE DODOS, for signing with French Kiss Records! They'll be label mates with THE HOLD STEADY and LES SAVY FAV. We've been in love with them since FS21 ("Notes") and it always makes me happy when a San Francisco band slips out of the cage!

FUTURE SOUNDS UPDATES

Damn if we aren't proud of our friends LOVELIKEFIRE (FS26) -They made the CMJ TOP 20 this week with their self-released effort!!!
Here's "From A Tower" (mp3) off their 'An Ocean In The Air' EP.

A great party was had last night at the TANKFARM PARTY in Vegas at Project - thanks to DJ Franki Chan for throwing down.

Remember way back on FS21 and an unknown artist named MERIC LONG? Well, he's now evolved into THE DODOS. Sometimes he sounds like Jeff Tweedy, but most don't realize he's an AMAZING guitarist! They are playing NYC tonight - go see this 2-man outfit.
