Big Gigantic and Two Fresh Tour

BIG GIGANTIC AND TWO FRESH ANNOUNCE TOUR

After a great conclusion of 2009, Big Gigantic and Two Fresh are about to hit the road together for a string of dates.

The Whigs: In The Dark Out 03/2

THE WHIGS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM, IN THE DARK, OUT MARCH 2 ON ATO RECORDS
New Songs Now Available For Free Download

The Whigs

ATO Records and The Whigs are very excited to announce the release of the band’s new album, In The Dark. Set for a March 2, 2010 release, In The Dark is an explosive collection of intense and tuneful songs that have been developed through years of non-stop touring and two critically acclaimed albums – Give ‘Em All A Big Fat Lip and Mission Control.

Both an accessible album and one that captures The Whigs’ on-stage passion (something that has become synonymous with their live show), In The Dark reveals another layer in the band’s songwriting and highlights what fans and critics have fallen in love with, including Jon Pareles of The New York Times, who praised the band for their “two-chord guitar and drums furor worthy of The Who.”

From the driving guitars and crushing drums of “So Lonely” to the hypnotic and playful “Black Lotus,” from the reckless blitz and thuggish bass lines of “Someone’s Daughter” to the anthemic “Kill Me Carolyne,” In The Dark is the work of a band moving forward creatively while remaining true to their roots.

Eager to give fans new music, the Athens, GA three piece is now offering two new songs – “In The Dark” and “Hundred / Million” – for free download here.

In addition, the band is currently on a North American headlining tour premiering new songs.

Dr. Dog Sign to Anit- Set Big Fall Tour

Dr. Dog Sign to Anit- / Set Big Fall Tour

Dr. Dog has signed to Anti- Records. Here’s a note from the band.

From www.drdogmusic.com:

Hey Everybody,


Dr. Dog

Before we head into the studio for the next few weeks we wanted to let you know that we’ve gone and signed to a new label. The record we’re making now is going to come out on Anti- Records early next year. As you might notice, this will be the first time that we’ll release a record in the U.S. that’s not on Park The Van and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank the PTV guys for all of their love and support over the years.


Park the Van was basically started to help us release
Easy Beat which was our first “proper” album. The work that that Park the Van has done to let people know about Dr. Dog has been incredible. Over the past few years PTV and Dr. Dog have come a long way together and we’ve had a lot of fun in the process. We wish the guys at PTV and all of the great bands on the label the best of luck, and we’re thankful for what has been and will surely continue to be an amazing relationship.

Thanks guys!
