Crush Management hires Capone as VP of Radio Promotions
It was announced late last week that Crush Management and its founders Jonathan Daniel and Bob McLynn, have hired Garrett Capone to take the newly created position of VP of Radio Promotions. Capone will exit his role as PD of San Diego’s 91X alternative station at the end of February to join Crush, whose roster includes Train, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, Travie McCoy & Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship, Sia,Wavves, Chiddy Bang and others. He will reportedly also be heavily involved with the relaunching of I.R.S. Records - it was announced last summer that EMI Music was reviving I.R.S. as a frontline label in partnership with Crush - working projects including the new release from Foxy Shazam among others.
Take Notice: The Drowning Men
The Drowning Men
SoCal locals The Drowning Men were not among the thousands of bands who descended upon Austin for SXSW last week, but that’s because they’ve been busy supporting Flogging Molly on their latest North American tour, including playing in front of more than 10,000 people on St. Patrick’s Day in Tempe, AZ… The 5-piece has been staying more than afloat recently, getting spins on hometown station 91X, being nominated as The Deli L.A.’s artist of the month and gearing up for a busy summer of more touring. The band is also putting the finishing touches on a new set of recordings, which follow up their 2009 album The Beheading of the Songbird. The new tracks produced by Billy Mohler and mixed by Todd Burke are generating a bicoastal buzz with both independent and major labels… Cheers! www.thedrowningmen.com
