Grand Palace is cooking something up – Here’s the blurb from their site:

The idea is to have a little battle royal, in which songs that you submit (by your band) will be paired in heats and voted on by our wonderful website visitors (trash talking is encouraged). I don’t know if this will be a success, but with your help it could be fun. If you are interested in submitting something (any band big or small?) send it to lynn@grandpalace.us, and once I have enough to begin then all hell will break loose.

I don’t know if this is limited to local music or not (I don’t think so) but sounds like a good way to drum up some quality trash talking. Full post here.

From the forthcoming Here Comes The Copout album (Sept. 11th release via Theory 8). More album details (tracklisting / artwork / etc) on the way as well.

Tuesday, July 31st The Nobility will release their debut album (as The Nobility) entitled The Mezzanine. In celebration of this event they’ll be playing a free show at Grimeys at 6pm* and then heading directly over to WRVU to be the guest DJ’s on Out The Other (8pm – 10pm).

You can also catch the band on WMTS Sunday, July 29th during the “Fascination Street” show (8pm – 10pm) or on a whole slew of tour dates available for viewing here.
