DAVE HOUSE ANNOUNCES US TOUR

Beginning tomorrow, Dave House (Kingston, UK) will embark on a 17-day tour of the US in support of his latest full-length, Intersections. The record is the third solo effort from the bassist of the recently defunct British punk band, The Steal.

Released on CD earlier this summer in the UK by Banquet Records, Intersections is now receiving a proper stateside release from up-and-coming indie, Runner Up Records. The label will press a 12″ LP version of the album on coke bottle clear (300) and mixed marble colored (200) vinyl. To pre-order a copy now, go here.

Intersections will see an official release date of November 24th, although pre-orders will ship well before that. House will have copies for sale on tour as well.

Slingshot Dakota’s latest full-length, Their Dreams Are Dead, But Ours Are The Golden Ghost was released in early 2008. Throughout the record, fuzzy, nimble keys collide with expolosive drum work, triggering heartfelt songs about friendship, community, living on the road and ultimately, following your dreams. Golden Ghost is a unique mix of sweet indie-pop melodies and DIY-inspired enthusiasm, and Slingshot Dakota’s music has never felt so honest and moving. Recorded by Latterman’s Phil Douglas, you can order a copy directly from the band via their myspace page or pick one up at a show.

Listen to Ohio! and the appropriately named Tour Song (Free MP3s)!
