The Nerd Parade Join Headphone Treats
Some big news for my little indie label. Here's the press release:

###

Headphone Treats has inked a deal with Randy Garcia and his new band The Nerd Parade. The new album, entitled "A Delicate Bashing" will be released in April of 2007 on the Atlanta-based indie pop/indie rock label.

Hailing from Florida's dance music scene, Randy Garcia made a name for himself as the founder of boutique label Nophi Records and through his varied and eclectic releases. He now makes a decisive move toward hook-laden indie pop with The Nerd Parade, teaming up with Abby Wren, who's astounding voice and distinctive personality adds a truly soulful tone to Garcia's cunningly melodic backdrops and beats. Vocally, Garcia and Wren blend together naturally sounding at times like an oddly perfect pairing of Stephin Merritt and Kierin Kirby.

Three pre-release tracks ("Kitten", "Smedley" and "Resolution Day") are available for free preview at the Headphone Treats website:

The band will be playing several warm up shows in the next two months and will begin touring the US in April. Visit The Nerd Parade website to keep up with dates and tour news:

WTF Pre-Show
For this lovely Friday night, you can tune in earlier to WTF to hear The Magic Numbers.

Nomad and I (Chilly) have really been digging this band. They are classified as indie/pop, but don't let the "pop" part scare you. This 2 pair of siblings really know how to make some music. Here are the tracks I'll be sharing:

1. The Mule
2. Don't Give Up The Fight
3. Love Me Like You
4. Mornings Eleven (Editors Note: I LOVE this song!)

So come and check out the great tunes at 8:41:28 pm (CST).

Also, stick around for WTF at 9:00 pm (CST). As always, just right-click this link and download the file to your computer. Next, just open the file in your favorite streaming audio program. Almost painless!
