| Valencia
Underground |
Press Release reports: Valencia may not have
sold 100,000 records or topped the charts in with their debut album This
Could Be A Possibility but that hasn’t stopped their label, I Surrender
Records, from being pleased with the first week’s success of the record.
After some dealing with some distribution hang ups label head Rob Hitt
says, “I’m happy with the first week numbers, especially because all those
numbers are from online sales.” The week prior to its release This Could
Be A Possibility was #1 on Smartpunk.com and Downloadpunk.com and #2 on
Interpunk.com – all a result of the online buzz about the release.
Hitt has also been pleasantly surprised
at the number of orders for the record from overseas, primarily Europe
and Japan considering that band has never been there. This should be a
sign of more good things to come for Valencia. Check out the current tour
dates at the full story link- Click

| Gourds
8th |
Press Release reports: The Gourds, who according
to the Village Voice “are all about wrapping the traditional in the eccentric
and unexpected,” have completed their eighth album. The CD, titled Heavy
Ornamentals, will hit the streets on January 24, 2006 on Eleven Thirty
Records through Redeye Distribution. In a day of digital everything, the
band recorded the album in glorious analog, with singer/bassist/songscribe
Jimmy Smith citing, “People don’t leave mistakes in anymore. Everything
sounds so perfect it requires less and less talent on the part of the performer.”
The 13 new songs on Heavy Ornamentals form
a Gourdian knot of material written by chief band scribes Jimmy Smith and
Kevin Russell. The tunes bear the traditional touch of knotty beats and
poetic non-sequiturs for lyrics. With the band’s influences sewn as patchwork
hearts on tattered sleeves, Doug Sahm and Johnny Thunders emerge as culture
heroes while Schoolhouse Rock, Vincent Van Gogh and Typhoid Mary inspire
verses, and an old favorite returns. The Gourds will tour nationally in
spring and summer. - Click
