This is a busy busy week here at the label. We’re gearing up for the highly anticipated Digital Release of KaiserCartel’s debut recording Double Standard. The band features the voices and playing of Courtney Kaiser and Benjamin Cartel. They’ve recorded 7 sweet sweet songs that blend Folk and Rock and make you ready to cuddle up next to the fire with someone cute. It’ll be available everywhere in early July. But, they’ll be on tour EVERYWHERE before that. Catch them in Europe or in the US this summer. You will be stunned.

Up The Empire has some great shows lined up in Boston, New Haven and NYC. If you haven’t already done so, pull out that cell phone and text “lowdoughshow” to “22122″ and WIN FREE TIX to the Boston show at Middle East Downstairs. The band will have new Tees and Buttons, not to mention their sexy new album Light Rides The Super Major. We’ll be on the road with the band and will bring back some photos to post here on the blog. Tickets are available for Boston here, and for NYC here, and New Haven, you’re in luck, that show is Totally Free.

We’ll See You Out and About.

Up The Empire is on Pandora as of today! If you don’t know, Pandora is an internet radio-like service that plays songs based on musical similarities that they may have. For example, you can make a radio station based on an artist or artists or a song or songs and it will play similar songs. Pandora has a staff of people that listen to all the music that comes in and rates them on a large set or criteria such as male singer, vocal harmonies, distorted guitars, major/minor keys, etc. So, go check it out today and make a station for yourself called “Up The Empire Radio.”

Tripwire Ticket Giveaway

Cougar — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 21:48:40 +0000

TheTripWire.com is having a ticket giveaway for the Up The Empire show this Saturday @ Mercury Lounge!

Tigercity, the Bon Savants and Up The Empire will all be taking to the stage (amongst a few others) to show the A&R crowd what’s they’re missing out on. This show will most certainly sell out and since you can’t purchase tickets in advance, this contest will be the only way to guarantee entry to the show (besides waiting in line in the bitter cold the day of the show).

Send an Email to tripwirecontest@thetripwire.com to enter!
