Wind-Up Records Band News For February 2008 Includes Updates On Seether, People In Planes, Jeremy Fisher, 12 Stones, Submersed and Megan McCauley
Seether's "Fake It" has become the biggest rock hit of the band's career
spending six weeks at number one on the alternative chart, and an
astonishing thirteen weeks in that position on the Active Rock charts.
The band will continue to appear in arenas through March with Three Days
Grace and Breaking Benjamin, following which they'll hit the road as a
headliner. More news on that front coming shortly...
Jeremy Fisher continues to gig daily across the U.S. He was nominated
for two Juno Awards yesterday in his native Canada - Best New Artist and
Adult Alternative Album. Keep an eye out for a great contest being
orchestrated by Virgin Mobile, where Fisher will write a tune about the
winner of the sweepstakes. For the Q&A, click here or a direct link to the contest.
The Welsh quintet People In Planes are back, and just this week sent a
new track to fans. The song "Pretty Buildings" offers a first listen to
repertoire record in studios across the U.S. and Europe. For a preview,
here are links to stream the tune, or download it. The band will return to the U.S. for a March tour with a planned
appearance at SXSW.
12 Stones are generating quite a bit of awareness these days via a video
featuring footage from Rambo, and the use of "Adrenaline" as the theme
song for The World's Strongest Man on ESPN. The band will continue
headlining for the time being, and have accepted a large venue
opportunity as support in the Spring. Details on that excursion will be
announced soon. Singer Paul McCoy shot an episode of After Hours with
Daniel (MOJO) in New Orleans last week which should be quite
entertaining when it hits the air in April 2008.
Submersed will be the direct support on the next run of 12 Stones dates
across the South. The band recently shot an episode of The Steve Wilkos
Show in Tampa, where they performed as the host's special guest while
visiting an AIDS hospice. The air date should be some time in March 2008.
Megan McCauley will begin a residency at Arlene's Grocery here in NYC
which runs for five consecutive Tuesdays beginning on 2/26/08. I
hope many
of you will make it out to see her perform with the band.
On the signing front, the label has been busy with four new acts now a
part of the family: San Francisco's Thriving Ivory, L.A.'s Endless
Hallway, Fort Collins, CO's Tickle Me Pink and Brooklyn's The Rideaways.
The repertoire is showing far more diversity than it ever has in the
past.
