August 27th, 2008News from the road: She Swings, She Sways
She Swings, She Sways has spent the last four weeks on the great American highway. Starting out in our hometown of Ottumwa, Iowa we have worked our way across the Midwest, the deep South, and we are currently holed up in a friends apartment which is located a quarter-mile from the Pentagon in Washington D.C.
And what exactly, have we been doing with ourselves? Why playing shows, of course. From packed bars in Memphis, to open-mic nights in Charlotte, SC. With a metal band in Houston, to all by ourselves for a four hour show in Athens, GA.
There have been a few highlights along the way – Wes broke two strings in one night; he swears he’s never broken a guitar string in his entire life. John has made it a goal to climb something in every state. Jason got pulled over by the local fuzz along the back roads …
Artist Update: Benjamin Wagner
Benjamin Wagner played the Rockwood Music Hall in New York City last week, providing us with this tasty little video of the track Boys of Summer, which is on his latest album The Invention Of Everything Else. Transitioning back into MTV News VP mode, Ben is taking a break from gigging until September. In the meantime, he’s headed to San Diego for ComicCon, to Indianapolis for the Brickyard 400 and then on to the Democratic and Republican National Conventions and the MTV Video Music Awards.
August 6th, 2008Dick Prall, where are you?
“I’m preparing for the Des Moines show this Saturday night, August 2nd, with The Envy Corps at the Simon Estes Riverfront Amphitheater. Very psyched to see and hear these guys – checked them out online and I’m honestly an instant fan. Extremely talented. Also, on Saturday morning around 9 a.m. I’ll be on WHO TV13 (Des Moines) to have a chat and play a tune. Let’s hope my sleepy voice has worked itself out of me. I’m gearing up to start touring more this fall and looking forward to releasing some new tunes for you all to hear as the months roll into the winter. I hope a new tune each month will keep folks satiated until any further full-length release. And thanks to Coca-Cola for having me on their jukebox for their mycokerewards.com promo.”
