NewsTegan and Sara launch new album with free LA showTegan and Sara launched their new record with a free show at Amoeba Records in Los Angeles yesterday (July 24). Hundreds of fans showed up, many of whom were turned away after the store reached capacity. The twin sisters performed tracks from their new album, 'The Con', which was released Stateside yesterday. They played the album's title track as well as 'Nineteen' and 'Burn Your Life Down'. They also played several older songs including 'Monday Monday Monday', 'Living Room' and 'Walking With A Ghost'. "Thank you so much for coming down...this is by far the best release day we've ever had," Tegan told the adoring crowd. "We love you Tegan! " an enthusiastic fan shouted back. Hunter Burgan from AFI, who plays bass on the new album, made an appearance on the shaker at the mostly acoustic show. At the end of their 55-minute set, the sisters announced that they wouldn't leave the store until they met everyone who wanted to meet them. They spent the next three hours meeting their fans and signing autographs. Mercury Records Relaunches Under IDJ Mercury Records, once home to bands like the Cardigans and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, has relaunched as a new division of Island Def Jam (IDJ) Music Group with former Epic Vice President Of A&R David Massey as president. Massey is looking forward to breathing "new life" into the label, which ceased operation in 1999 when PolyGram and Seagram merged. However, Mercury has remained a fully functional label in the UK, home to Shiny Toy Guns and Fall Out Boy's international distribution. According to a statement released today, Massey will oversee all operations of the US hub of the label, and report directly to IDJ Chairman L.A. Reid. "Even more than David's proven leadership and success as an executive in our business is the track record of trust and inspiration he has won from the artists he's worked with over the years," said Reid via the release. "This all-important quality makes him the perfect choice to pilot Mercury through its latest incarnation as a new cornerstone in the IDJ family. We welcome him to the senior management team." Massey previously signed and developed a wide variety of artists ranging from Good Charlotte to Phantom Planet to Cyndi Lauper. There is no confirmation as to which artists will call Mercury their home, or how many releases are slated for this year. Massey will assume his new post on April 16. |
