Tom Brosseau at The Triple Door

Hello Loveless fans!

I know I'm a little late with this, but former Loveless artist Tom Brosseau played a show a couple of weeks ago at The Triple Door.  German Pianist Hauschka and Seattle Musician Rafael Anton Irissari opened for him.  It was a great show! Be sure to go see Tom next time he's in town!

New Faces in the P-I

Yesterday's "City of Music" event was a success!  If you didn't come, here's what you missed

-Some Austin Powersesque dancin'

-Some people talkin' (The Mayor, folks from KEXP and Subpop)

-NEW FACES

-Blue Scholars

-A marching band playing a Jimi Hendrix tune

-Free Stuff (New Faces Posters, Event Posters, Jones Soda, etc)

-Saying hi to the interns at the merch table.

New Faces performed a killer three-song ("Impulse", "Cracks" and "Miss Kiss Kiss Bang Bang") set to a crowd of about 500 of Seattle's musically concerned citizens.

The Seattle P-I covered the event, and New Faces are featured in their article and photos!

City of Music

Hey Everyone!

Exciting news! If you havn't already heard via our newsletter (which you can have delivered fresh to your inbox by signing up here), tomorrow at The Paramount the mayor will be unveiling his new 12-year plan to help Seattle evolve under the tagline "The City of Music".

The best part is: New Faces were asked to play to represent how the city's sound has evolved over the years. (Blue Scholars will be there too!). We're pretty excited about it! This event is free and open to the public, but you must RSVP to filmandmusicoffice@seattle.gov with your name and email address, and those of your guests (if you are bringing any).
Everyone that comes will receive an awesome promotional poster (see above image). This should be a lot of fun! Hope to see you there!

New Faces Rock Easy St.

If you didn't make it Friday night, you missed an awesome and fun (and free!) show.  New faces played to a pretty big crowd (Kyle even played as a part of the crowd at the end of the set!)  Homecoming was discussed, snacks were shared, and good times were had all around.

If you missed this show, check out another free show at Everyday Music on Cap Hill on November 15!

Voyager One to Play at the 2008 Capitol Hill Block Party

The Capitol Hill Block Party is an annual music festival that draws upon and showcases the best indie and underground rock in the US, with a special focus on Northwest artists.  What was once "an endearing street fair" is now Seattle's hottest Block Party!

Last year's lineup featured headliners Spoon, Silversun Pickups and Against Me! with supporting acts including loveles label-mates The Shackeltons. 

Although the full lineup has not yet been announced, it's impressive so far.  Voyager One will be playing with bands such as Devotchka, Vampire Weekend, Les Savy Fav, The Hold Steady, Girl Talk, Kimya Dawson, The Dodos, U.S.E., Grand Ole Party, Zeke, Thee Emergency, Jay Reatard and more!

You'll be able to see Voyager One and the rest of these acts for the low price of $18/day or $34 for the two-day pass. (What a screamin' deal!!!)

If you're in the seattle area (or even if you're not) the 2008 Block Party and Voyager One are definitely worth checking out.

The Shackeltons Play End of an Ear in Austin for "Record Store Day"

On Saturday, April 19, 2008, hundreds of independently owned music stores across the country celebrated “Record Store Day.”

After driving over 20 hours from Los Angeles with a quick stop in Phoenix, The Shackeltons arrived in Austin a little road weary but ready to play an in-stor

e at End of an Ear for Record Store Day.

Even though The Shackeltons looked and felt tired, they delivered another stellar performance and continue to win over the hearts of Austinites.

Today @ 1:00 CST (3:00 PST) they will be playing live on 90.5 KUT, The 

University of Tes college station.

Then later tonight they’ll be headlining Soundcheck Magazine’s Party at The Beauty Bar in Austin before heading up to Dallas tomorrow for a show at the Double Wide. 

The Shackeltons at Easy Street

Last friday, April 11, The Shackeltons played a show at Easy Street Records to a pretty packed house (especially considering their competition down the street at Seattle Center...His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama).  Present from the Loveless family were other interns as well as Amy, John and Pete.

The Shackeltons played a really fun set, with intermittent jokes and banter, as well as, oddly enough, meeting other people from their hometown

 of Chambersburg, PA.

If you want to see more of the pictures that I took at this show: click here!

If you're in LA, Austin or Dallas, the Shackeltons are coming your way very soon! (for the rest of their tour, check out their Myspace)

The Shackeltons left a little something for Easy Street to remember them by. (Photo provided by Amy)
