radio, live transmission

It was radio weekend.

Last night, Chris Payne played "Coldest Day of the Year" on his show on Q101. This was the first time The Heaven Seventies have been played on major radio, and since Q101 was my favorite radio station when I was 13, it felt crazy and exciting to finally get airplay. You can hear that here for the next couple of weeks (we're at about 12:50 in part 3, 07-20-08): myspace.com/local101

Also, on Saturday afternoon we did an interview on WCRX, the 100 watt station run by Columbia College in Chicago. In my opinion we did quite well. We got video of it, so we might post an exciting moment or two from it if we get some free time.

Mike Miller, one of the owners of Bottom Lounge, wears chelsea boots. Good taste in shoes, I say. I went to check out the place before our show there on Thursday, and man, it's huge. I'm excited to see all of you fill it.

you know we love you, mariah

To promote our show next Thursday, July 24 at Bottom Lounge, we made a mixtape-style "remix" of the Mariah Carey single, "Touch My Body". I heard it on the radio and immediately "alternate lyrics" started flowing out, so I knew we had to do it. We were fooling around in the studio with our cinematographer friend Kyle Kramer, and he started taking some shots of us...one thing lead to another and before we knew it, we had a video to go along with the audio!

This one's on us, but if you want to show your appreciation, come see us at Bottom Lounge on Thursday, July 24. Our next show after this one is at Darkroom in late October, so mark your calendars.
