You may have heard of this place; the legendary New York City club where punk rock innovators like Talking Heads, Television, and Patti Smith got their start. We have a big show there Tue May 26th, an early set, 7:45pm, as the second of seven (count ’em!) bands that night! We’re garnering a bit of A&R interest right now, and expect there will be a few of those record label folks in attendance that night at the club. So for those of you in the NYC area (or those of you looking for an excuse for a road trip!), come on out to CBGB’s and cheer us on!
Bam Balam Records, a Spanish label will distribute Mike Shupp / “October Sun” CD in Spain and several other European countries! Bam Balam is a great pop/rock label; DC music fans may remember they re-released a CD by the Neighbors last year. And watch for a previously unreleased Shupp track on their upcoming summer compilation disc!
