Music at Frank: Lauren & The Black List EP Release

Frank has started to put on live music, powered by the sound system from the defunct Ghost Room.  Lauren & The Black List is one show not to miss!

Five Minutes with Kole Hansen

No doubt Kole Hansen would not have wanted this linkage.  But since we lost Amy Winehouse this weekend, I couldn't help but think it might well have been the same fate for Kole a few years ago.  Fortunately, she got another chance and embraced it, resulting in a just released EP and a book of her story.  Indie Sounds caught up as she began a long tour.



Indie sounds: So you just began a long tour ... where are you this week, next month, the next month?

Kole Hansen: Right now, I am tour with Brett Randell in Chicago until the 29th and then we tour back down to Austin. I am home for a day then I head out again with the band. We - Ben Balmer, myself and Josh Flowers - will tour across the US and Canada until Nov 11th, when I come back to play the Riff concert Series in San Antonio and to enjoy Thanksgiving in Austin.

Indie Sounds: So, you did a CD release show and then a long tour.  How has the reception been for When You Find Out ... from your fans, the press?

Rob Chojnacki: You forgot to ask how the reception was for us, and here it is:  ‘Best album ever made. Except for Sgt. Pepper, which the Beatles stole from us.’  End of band’s review.
