Today's Quick Mention: If you don't have any plans tomorrow then I
highly recommend that you grab a cowbell and head to the Austin Convention
Center at 7pm to support the Rhinestone Cowgirls as they take on the Putas
Del Fuego in an epic roller derby battle. Go Dill Dozer!
Nick Krgovich is a busy man. Not only does he have a variety of duties
in No Kids and P:ano, but now he's joined up with
producer/engineer Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Cave Singers)
and created Gigi, a glorious pop project that I've instantly become very
attached to. Maintenant is the name of the debut full length
and it's due out February 10 on Tomlab. Enjoy.

- No, My Heart Will Go On (With Chorus):
"With
a reverent eye on the past and a deep respect for the
airtight songsmithery of artists like Ellie Greenwich, Jeff
Barry and Shadow Morton (among countless others), the songs
aren't content to be throwback-y pastiches or polka-dotted
retro workouts but rather stand as attempts at working
within a specific and incredibly rich tradition of pop music
production." I'd normally scoff at such press release
tomfoolery and call it a lame attempt to justify the act
being retro, but this song is crafted in such a warm, old
school fashion that it actually makes me want to run out and
buy old pop LPs. Speaking of vinyl, I must own
Maintenant
on it as soon as possible.
