Hello, hello,

So SXSW was awesome. It was great hanging with all of you and having an excuse to drink before noon. We have TONS of new stuff we're working on and LOADS of big news to share with you. Now that AJ has rested up his feet and recovered from the worlds longest hangover we've put all of our notes together to give you this: Other Lives record, new friends at Yep Roc Records, and Eulogies CD/Tour updates.

Want to hear the NEW SILVERSUN PICKUPS RECORD? Email us (here) and we'll hook it up. No joke. enjoy :)



YEP ROC RECORDS

YepRoc

We started talking to one of our favorite labels, Yep Roc, at SXSW and we immediately noticed they have a ton of Indie Rock that compliments their Americana catalog. We think you should take notice too because they are way more than an Americana label. First off, Yep Roc's distribution is set up through our good friends at Red Eye. There is a John Doe + the Sadies release on 4/14 titled "Country Club" (more on tha soon), followed by a band we know and love, Los Straitjackets, who are releasing a record on 4/28. Also be on the look out for Liam Finn, and from Flea's "you heard it first


from us" section check out Peggy Sue. They have a full length due out in September but we'll be sending yo some goodies between now and then. We'll keep you posted.

EULOGIES: "Here Anonymous" [4/7]

By now you've received our care package with Eulogies' "Here Anonymous" inside. If you haven't given this a spin you should definitely drop what your doing and throw in that record right now. We'll wait...

While your listening check this out. I think its going to be a great year for Peter Walker and his band Eulogies. His year started with his song "39 Stars" getting some screen time with Mickey Rourke in the movie "The Wrestler". 2009 only gets better for him with the release of the Eulogies second full length album, Here Anonymous, on Dangerbird Records April 7th. "The songs on Here Anonymous are deceivingly simple. Riding warm, well-worn instrumental tones and Walker’s patient,

eulogies

understated vocals, they build a consistent mood over the album’s 12 songs" (dangerbirdrecords.com). Here Anonymous is twelve songs from the Eulogies as you've come to expect; "melancholy music that’s upbeat, a record of specific personal intent that speaks to us all" (dangerbirdrecords.com). Catch Eulogies this spring as they have tours with the Dears and with Middle Distance Runner. And if you can't get out to a show, you can at least follow them on Twitter (twitter.com/eulogiesmusic)

OTHER LIVES: "Other Lives" [4/7]

line

 

 

 

As we mentioned in the last FleaMail, TBD Records is putting out a new release from Other Lives. Maybe you've caught their first single, "Black Tapes" during an episode of Ugly Betty or Grey's Anatomy (its ok- we all have guilty pleasures!) or caught up with them when they were a featured artist on Myspace music.

Either way, they performed an awesome Leonard Cohen cover at SXSW last week. Click on the video below to check it out.
