Eenie Meenie Records

Hello! Did you notice the German dates for Irving to the right, there? That’s right, it’s the big launch! Irving leaves for Germany on May 6th and we think they’re gonna have a blast. Wish them luck! Unless, of course, you’re German, in which case, go catch a show!

In other news, guess who got added to Indie 103.1‘s rotation?? Great Northern, with their single, “Home“! Please help out and request it! (Online here or by phone at 877-900-1031). It’s just in time too because the Great Northern release parties are coming up in San Francisco and Los Angeles! So if you’re in the Bay Area, come out to Popscene on 5/10, and if you’re in L.A. you have no excuse not to be at The Echo on 5/15 – it’s free and presented by 89.9 KCRW,Rockinsider and Radio Free Silverlake! Twilight Sleep and The Movies will be there. And oh, by the way, it’s FREE.

*And did you know you can now pre-order Great Northern’s Trading Twilight For Daylight from our webstore?? Go here and have fun choosing between two presale packages!

A few release parties for Scissors For Lefty are not too far away either, folks, so don’t you worry. (In fact, go ahead and mark 6/13 on your calendars now, for The Knitting Factory in Hollywood.) But they’ve got several parties scheduled for May and June, so we’ve got you covered the next couple months. In Goldenboy news, the band is hitting the road with Chris McFarland next month as well, so everybody is busy busy. 

It’ll all be okay though. Just pace yourself.

Wow, SXSW was quite a trip! Our showcase with Five One Records was packed, full to capacity, so the poor, harrassed door ladies at the Soho Lounge had to stop letting people in. If you were anywhere wandering around Austin, you may have had a charming little Eenie Meenie slap bracelet slapped upon your wrist by one of us. We were running around promoting not only the showcase but also Scissors For Lefty‘s and Great Northern‘s many shows during the week. Not to mention running into some famous individuals, a la James Iha, Wayne Coyne, Dennis Miller, and Paul Simonon!! Nice!

Check out our nifty Imeem photo playlist for some of the fun.

Now we’re back, but Goldenboy, Great Northern, and Scissors For Lefty are out there on the road, giving you more and more opportunities to catch them in a town near you. (We personally think Scissors For Lefty don’t sleep.) Keep an eye on everyone’s tour dates! Great Northern also recently shot a video with Josh Forbes for “Home” which we should have some stills from pretty soon! There’s going to be some haunting animation in this one, so we can’t wait to see the final version.

Not to be outdone, Irving had a nice little chat with Go TV you might want to check out here. And Scissors will be on Artist of the Day on Mania TV today at 1pm and 5pm (Pacific time). You know you want to watch!
