NEWS | SUMMER 2010Shinyribs!Nine Mile Records has two releases out at radio right now: the brilliant indie-rock of Spouse's Confidence is spinning on college stations all over the U.S., while Kevin "shinyribs" Russell's latest record Well After Awhile is hitting the Americana charts hard. If you'd like to support either of these fine records by requesting it on your favorite station, email us at info@ninemilerecords.com, let us know where you live, and we can get you the station info for your area. Shinyribs Well After Awhile officially hits stores and digital retailers on Tues., June 15. However, if you live in Austin, please come out to Waterloo Records on Monday, June 14th for a special in-store performance by Kevin and the Shinyribs band. It starts at 5pm and is sponsored by Shiner Bock! If you live far away, or are extremely lazy, you can pre-order the CD from the Nine Mile Store. It will ship just before the release date and include a snazzy Shinyribs sticker! SXSW Recap, NMR samplers, and new releasesOne of the biggest benefits to our relocation to Austin this year has been our presence at the annual music orgy known as SXSW. This year, Nine Mile had its largest posse ever in town for the event: Parlour Steps, Boulder Acoustic Society, stephaniesid, Patrick Sweany, Shinyribs, and Haunt all performed during the week at multiple music venues, house parties, parking lots, wine bars, winebagos, coffee shops. You name it, we hit it! In addition, Nine Mile threw a fantastic bash at The Ginger Man in downtown Austin to celebrate out 5th Anniversary(!!) you can check out our Facebook page for photos and more info. The 2010 Nine Mile CD samplers are in the house! We handed out hundreds of them at SXSW, but have a few left for folks either on the NMR mailing list or who order CDs between now and May. Go here to sign up on the list. Then MAKE SURE YOU EMAIL US YOUR ADDRESS AT info@ninemilerecords.com so we know where to send the CD. If you are already on the list, and too poor to buy a CD, throw us a line and we'll mail you one just for being a good friend. Two new releases this Spring showcasing the diversity of the Nine Mile roster:
PARLOUR STEPS FEATURED ON ITUNES!Happy New Year everyone! Vancouver quintet Parlour Steps' new CD The Hidden Names has been out for a few weeks now and has been doing very well at radio. It debuted at #8 on the Canadian Chart Attack charts back in November and is spinning on stations all over North America. This week, a single from that record, "As The World turned Out," is the Free Song Of The Week on iTunes in Canada. You can click here to see it (even if you live elsewhere) but can only download it for free in Canada. Of course, if you like it, you could still download it for a mere $.99... Look for the band on tour in Boston, Portland, ME, Northampton, MA and New York City in January. Check out their Myspace page for details. SCARY BEARDA friend and musician from Northampton, MA told me in passing last year, "I've got an idea for a record. My buddy and I are gonna hole up in my apartment for a week, drink as much beer as we can, and then write, produce and record a whole record. It's gonna be awesome!!" "Um," I responded. "OK..." Well, a couple months later he unveiled it. And it was awesome. So awesome that within weeks local musicians were lined up to add what they could to it. And, thus, Scary Beard was born. A self-described combination of "Krautrock, electronic music, Guided By Voices and LCD Soundsystem," the record's range is impressive, especially gven it's 20 minute running time! Scary Beard is only available digitally at this time, but plans are already in the works for a deluxe digipak release in early 2010 with extensive hand-drawn artwork. Return of the Prodigal Band: Parlour StepsOne of our favorite releases last year was a CD called Ambiguoso by a band out of Vancouver called Parlour Steps. Parlour Steps have been a mini-sensation in Vancouver for several years now, but Ambiguoso was their first CD to penetrate south of the 49th parallel. It received RAVE reviews for it's combination of soulful, playful indie-rock and heady lyrics, and landed on many 2008 "Best Of" lists. The CD was so good, in fact, that Parlour Steps almost left the NMR fold, enticed by some larger entities in the industry. Nine Mile Records seeks interns!We have a bunch of fantastic new releases slated for 2009-10. You can help us promote these great records and gain first-hand music industry experience. Plus free CDs and attendance at shows. If you are interested, please email us at info@ninemilerecords.com with your name, contact info and brief note on your background and why you want an NMR internship. Note to all applicants: we are now located in Austin, TX, and you should be too. |
