Take Notice: Oh Darling
Oh Darling: New Album + Show Tomorrow Night @ Swinghouse
Nice Nice may be the title of Oh Darling’s previous full-length release, but it certainly must also be how the L.A. indie-pop quartet is feeling lately. With music recently featured on CW’s One Tree Hill, USA’s Royal Pains and a national Macy’s radio campaign, the band heads into the release of their new album with a lot of steam. Produced by Gregg Williams (Blitzen Trapper, Dandy Warhols) the self-titled release comes out next week (11/17) via their label Creative Works/Oh Darling Music. With all that it’s a wonder they still have time to maintain their vintage wardrobe and provide world records-esque useless trivia to fans.
Oh Darling will play a private show at Swinghouse in Hollywood tomorrow night (11/11) from 7:30-9:00PM. Expect to jockey for position at the complimentary wine bar with more than a few of your closest label friends and assorted industry denizens (fyi, we’ll be in back packin’ a box of Franzia).

10.27.09Take Notice: Nations Afire + Tuesday Tidbits
Nation Afire @ Viper Room tomorrow night (10/28)
Nations Afire is a new band comprised of former members of Rise Against, Ignite and Death By Stereo. Forming in early in 2009, the band recorded their debut EP The Uprising in a mere two-weeks and then hightailed it to Europe, touring with bands such as NOFX and The Get Up Kids. They’ve been featured in Alternative Press as their Unsigned Band of the Month, and we hear one label has already put paper on the table while others are scrambling. Nations Afire hit the stage at midnight tomorrow night (10/28) at the Viper Room. For more info and list requests, hit up jimmulhearn@freezemanagement.com

If Ya Don’t Know, Now Ya Know: Violence to Vegas
Violence to Vegas @ Viper Room tomorrow night (10/13)
Violence to Vegas is the band to get on your bill going through the mid-west, at least that’s true if your name is Avenged Sevenfold, Papa Roach, Buckcherry, Slipknot or Shinedown, to name a few. Spitting their brand of infectious rock venom to a rabid fan-base, the Tulsa, OK natives have supported numerous heavy-hitters. The single “In the Eyes,” off their past release, went to # 59 on the modern rock chart completely independently, and new track “Beautiful Mistake” is getting spins on KATT after winning the station’s specialty band vs. band call-in show, beating out the likes of Metallica, Creed and Green Day. CAA is already on-board for booking. The band plays the Viper Room tomorrow night Tuesday, October 13th @ 8:30PM. Check it: www.myspace.com/violencetovegas
