Scissors for Lefty to rock the Echoplex tonite!

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

For the third installment in a trend we hope continues, an eenie meenie band is set to play the echoplex tonite and we think this is gearing up to be the biggest event yet! With over 1100 people RSVPing for a place that holds less than 1000, there’s sure to be a mob scene! Get there early and wear layers because once the crowd shows up (around 10ish when SFL takes the stage) it’s going to get packed!

Bucket O’ Shows

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

Great Northern will be back home in L.A. for a few weeks, but they won’t be sitting around basking in the sun the WHOLE time. They’ll be playing the Hammer Museum tonight with Foreign Born for a special Indie 103.1 event! Then it’s possible they’ll get a little time to rest by the kiddie pool at this weekend’s Little Radio BBQ, after their set that is. The band will be performing at Summer Camp which starts at Noon and runs til 6, so there’ll be plenty of time to get home to watch Entourage. And if you’re near a radio between 9 and 10pm, check out the Locals Only show on KROQ where you might hear GN again! Then the band is off to tour with the Comas!

Scissors for Lefty are hot off their opening slots with The Smashing Pumpkins last week in Asheville, NC and they’re off and running towards several dates with Erasure in Florida July 6th, 7th, and 8th. Check out the rest of their tour dates on the right!

Division Day have been playing some special events lately, including Sea Level Records’ farewell extravaganza at Safari Sam’s featuring an all-star audience. The events they have on their schedule in July will keep them close to home as they prepare to release their record in October. Look for new music soon!

See you all at the Hammer Museum tonight!

Releasin’ Parties

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

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.

Home Again, Home Again

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

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!

Running with Scissors

Monday, March 5th, 2007

Hello! San Francisco’s charming Scissors for Lefty are now officially a part of the Eenie Meenie team! Did you catch them at the Troubadour on the 28th? They’re such nice boys (aside from seriously rockin’). They are hitting the road quite a bit before and after SXSW, so now is your chance to see them. Check out the GIGANTIC list of shows we got going on, not even counting SXSW!! Our heads are in a bit of a whirl…

On top of that, we have some more fun stuff from Steven Scott’s adventures in Germany. Check out their myspace blog to watch some cool video footage of acoustic performances and interviews. (And read some badly translated German…) We especially like Steven’s take on “Jen, Nothing Matters To Me”. Irving will head out there on tour in May, so we’ll let you know when the dates start coming in.

Are you on the massive guest list for Great Northern‘s Viper Room show tonight? The band sent out an email blast inviting everyone, thanks to Indie 103.1‘s Check One…Two. Great Northern played on the show last night with Mark Sovel and also have a little blurb posted about them on Indie 103.1′s main page so we expect to hear a few more spins of “Home” pretty soon! In the meantime, be sure to watch their lovely new EPK.

Gearing up for SXSW

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

Hey there! So both Irving‘s Steven Scott and Great Northern have returned home safe and sound from their travels. Danke to everyone who tuned in to the German shows and websites to listen to or vote for “Jen” and “Situation”.

And thanks to everyone who showed up to see Great Northern play with Division Day! The two will share the stage again this coming Monday the 12th, at Spaceland, so come hang out with us and catch two amazing bands together for free. If that’s not exciting enough for you, Goldenboy will also be at Spaceland, this Saturday the 10th, with Sarah Shannon (you remember Velocity Girl). Both bands are getting ready to head out to Austin next month for good ol’ SXSW, and we are getting excited about our showcase with Five One Records on the 14th! Are you coming? Click on the flyer for details:

Speaking of SXSW, have you met our friends Scissors for Lefty? Dance/pop/rockin’ San Francisco lads on Rough Trade, they are stopping to play our showcase in the midst of their tour. Check them out if you are anywhere near.
