Spindrift at Wired.com

The lovely folks at Wired.com give props to BTW recording artist’s Spindrift this fine Friday Morning. They’re featuring The New West from the full length album The West out now!

For those who don’t already know, Spindrift, along with Mike Bruce (who directed some Dandy’s videos), made a film a while back. The Legend of God’s Gun. Here’s the trailer…

Spindrift are on tour with The Upsidedown. They’re playing The Lucky Bar in Victoria, BC tonight and Chapel Arts in Vancouver on Saturday. CLICK HERE for the full run of shows.

Unhappy

Congratulations Portland! We finally won the honor of Unhappiest City in The US. Thanks to all the cloudy days, high suicide rates and shite economy we win! Now maybe all those developers and business folks will think twice before adding another ‘Pearl’ to Portland. Leave us be, leave us to our rain and grief, our coffee and cigarettes, our dark arts. Oh wait, is that it? Did we get even sadder now that we have to smoke outside in the rain? Is that what finally got us crowned as The Saddest? Sadder than New Orleans, St. Louis and Detroit? Well so be it.

Remixes and Twitter and Label Mates

Hey man, what are you up to? We’re still in the development phase for this site, figuring out what we want to do, what should go where, all that jazz. We’ll figure it all out. Thanks for coming by to read what we have going on so far. A lot more is on the way, for sure.

At the Oddy, we’re finishing up out Earth To The Remix EP Vol 2 which is due to be in stores on April 18 for Record Store Day. With all-new remixes by The Dandy Warhols, it’s something you really should not miss. (And if you’re a subscriber to our Subscription Service, you know you won’t miss a damn thing.)

Got Twitter? We do. Follow us over there. (We gotta come up with a better word for “tweets”, though. I mean, this is Oregon, we have bigger birds than ones that go “tweet.”) Anyway, that’s over there, so check it out.

Finally, our Beat The World label mates Spindrift and The Upsidedown are now on tour in the western U.S. Together, in some cases – like tonight, here in Portland. You would feel really dumb if you missed these two awesome groups. “And what did you do while Spindrift and The Upsidedown were in town?” “Oh, I had my thump up my butt.” No.

More news on the way soon, I’m sure. Unless we get hit by an asteroid. Did you hear about that? Scary. Take cover.
