Don't know if anybody was into their record, but I liked it a lot - some strange news from their site:

Quote:
This past week was one of the most difficult ever for us as a band. We had to make an incredibly hard decision that has a direct effect on our future. Earlier this week our record label offered us a chance to record a cover song for a large corporation to be used in a commercial. In addition to using the song in the commercial they wanted us to put it on our record and potentially use it as a single. We turned down the offer(knowing the probable consequences), and our record label dropped us. Needless to say, this came at a bad time since we were a week away from recording our next record. At the moment we are weighing all of our options and still plan on recording next month. We will release another record, we just are not sure with what record label. We promise to keep you up to date with new information and as always check back here for new show dates and content.

These guys practiced in the same rehearsal space in Murfreesboro as my band (across the hallway) until a couple weeks ago. Really nice guys, fairly good band, totally shitty situation.

A dig the band, they are great live. I'm surprised they lasted this long on Universal considering they probably sold 10,000 records. They're probably better off, and they should be on Theory 8 or some other local label anyway.

Nashvillians:
almost
gauchebag (part-time)
Nico
indianheaddress (I think this is the guy that plays bass in Lylas?)
discostu
Saint Patrick (when did you move here and were you formally under a different name?)

Excellent band on record, but nothing less than amazing live. That news did suck.

in other TN news..

Mahaffey just put up a clip from his DVD at his myspace. What a show this would have been.

this is disappointing, but i agree that i never thought of them as a universal (as in the label) band. i can't imagine them having a very difficult time finding an independent label that will sign them.

i wonder what the cover song was and which corporation it was for.
