The Late Greats says she will be a smashing success in 2009 and I agree.

Listen:
Leslie Mendelson - "Easy Love" (mp3)

But that's really all I have about her at the moment, so listen enjoy and make sure to venture back here in the future for more Leslie Mendelson news.

So let's talk about Steel Train. Silly boys who thought a plain jane band name would ever help them rise above in search engines...no seriously, it took forever to find anymore news about these guys.

But this is who they are:
Jack Antonoff - lead vocals, guitar
Evan Winiker - bass, vocals
Daniel Silbert - guitar, vocals
Jon Shiffman - drums, vocals

Their album is titled Trampoline. Antonoff recorded demo after demo in his New Jersey home to make sure that the new songs were ready for the studio.

In May 2007, the group entered the studio in Eagle Rock, California with producer Mark Trombino (Jimmy Eat World, Rilo Kiley) who helped transfer their demos to something more presentable. Two months after they began, the record was completely tracked.

What they ended up with was something excellent, though perhaps a bit too drama and philosophy oriented. But it worked, now they are part of Drive-Thru Records and are gathering an even larger fan base by the minute!

They played Lollapalooza and are now touring supporting "The Hush Sound." (Not to be confused with an earlier post about "The Hush Now")

Listen:
Steel Train - "I Feel Weird" (mp3)
Steel Train - "Alone on the Sea" (mp3) * BMU fave

Buy their music!
