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!

Three "New Faces" Welcomed to the Label

Loveless Records Signs Local Favorite New Faces!

Loveless Records is proud to announce New Faces as the newest (and youngest!) members of the Loveless family.



Just a short ferry ride from Seattle, in the small town of Port Townsend, big things are happening. Three teenagers, lead singer/guitarist Nico Janssen (18), bassist Kyle Hove (17) and drummer Conor Sisk (16), make up the band New Faces, who have stepped into the scene impressing critics with their considerable musical talents.

But don’t let their ages fool you. Their sound has the undeniable maturity of veteran musicians. This is in large part due to their clever lyrics, unique rhythms, and Nico’s, deeper ranged vocals.

When New Faces became the winners of the 2008 Sound Off! competition, the Experience Music Project's 21-and-under battle-of-the-bands , they made a name for themselves on the Seattle music front.

Seattle P-I writer Athima Chansanchai said this about the New Faces performance after they won.
“Some bands you see for the first time and realize they're going to be big some day”

During the final round of Sound Off!, the CW's Underground created a documentary of the four finalists. Here is the New Faces documentary, before they won the entire competition.

Riding the wave of success after Sound Off!, New Faces landed performances at Seattle’s biggest summer music festivals – Bumbershoot and The Capitol Hill Block Party.

Their debut album “Two Years” is due out on Loveless Records on August 26th. Summer tour dates are listed below with more with more to be announced.
