Pandora just hit the C-VILLE office with Michael Jackson’s wild cover of "Come Together." That was almost enough excitement for today. However, the excitement continues with news from two local bands that are getting serious recognition.
Just got a dispatch from the sixth week of Worn in Red‘s national tour—they’ve been featured in the opening spread of Alternative Press‘ annual "100 Bands You Need To Know in 2010" feature. (Apparently the band is from Charlottesville, North Carolina!?) The feature isn’t online, so if you’re looking to pick up a copy read the cover type closely, as the issue comes with four different covers. WIR will be headed back this way for a show with legendary Dead Kennedys leader Jello Biafra and his new band, the Guantanamo school of Medicine, at Richmond’s Canal Club on March 31. Read C-VILLE’s review of their recent full-length In the Offing here.
It’s been a while since I first got word that the Invisible Hand was recording the theme song for a TV show on Bravo—so long that I figured that things didn’t pan out, as things sometimes go with musicians. But frontman Adam Smith just sent me a message with a link to a Bravo blog that that features a brief snippet of their tune, which will, in fact, be the theme song for a show called "Nine by Design." It premieres April 13. The show follows a couple that has seven children and makes a living flipping houses. The theme was apparently written by Chris Keup, the songwriter/producer who’s recording the band’s full-length at his Louisa studio.
It won’t allow me to embed the video, so click here, scroll down to the second video and blast it.
See C-VILLE’s reviews of the Hand’s recent releases here and here.
Since the Bravo blog won’t let me embed the video that features the Invisible Hand’s theme song, enjoy the TV theme song that was until now the most rocking theme song of all time…
…except for this one.
