FALL has arrived in Portland!  It has been wonderfully temperate and fairly sunny thus far.  Fall is my favorite season, sweater weather, the smell of the season as the leaves turn and the comfortable chill in the air.  A fantastic time!  But don’t let yourself focus on the fact that it’s going to rain for the next eight months, just enjoy the season.

 

JEFF HANSON (Kill Rock Stars), KRIST KRUEGER (of SOUTHERLY) and NOTES TO MYSELF (Malaga, Spain) all hit the North American interstate this September.

 

JEFF HANSON is supporting his latest effort titled Madam Owl available as of August 17th via the Kill Rock Stars record label.

 

KRIST KRUEGER (of SOUTHERLY) has as of ’08 started touring solo under his own name since the inception of SOUTHERLY as a full band.  He supported Jeff Hanson on this latest tour of the Western States through California, Southwest and the great Rocky Mountain States.

 

NOTES TO MYSELF from Malaga, Spain have just completed their first ever tour of the States!  They’ve just returned home and are preparing for their upcoming Japanese tour.

 

EUROPE ’09 sees multiple Crow artists making appearances including SOUTHERLY and Jeff Hanson.  In March SOUTHERLY heads overseas for another extensive Euro tour two weeks of which will be packaging with Jeff Hanson.  Keep checking the artists websites for details.

 

KRIST KRUEGER typically has multiple projects in the works.  The latest edition to the roster is ALLELUIA.  Currently you can find further information about the project at www.myspace.com/alleluiamusic.  This now stands alongside SOUTHERLY, KRIST KRUEGER (solo) and KRIST KRUEGER KILLING HIPSTERS (dj).

 

CROW RADIO SHOW starts back up this week.  I have been on tour for the better part of the year but am heading back to the DJ booth this Thursday from 6-8 PM.  The show airs every week at the same time and can be streamed anywhere worldwide at www.praradio.org.

MINMAE have just re-released Ya Te Vas and True Love (Greyday Records) in one splendid package. Both were out of print, originally released by Devil In The Woods.  The band is heading out this March and April in support of that release and a brand new EP on beautifull 12" vinyl.  Only 300 copies have been made.  Get yours while you can!

SYSTEM AND STATION have recently completed A Nation Of Actors, the new album to be delivered via Latest Flame Records this August.  This is truly the bands most ambitious work to date.  A definite must hear!
