02/08/10 - WARM ONES 2010: The Year We Make Contact
Thank you to everyone who came out to the CD Release Show at The Hideout. We packed the house and melted faces. In addition to getting their hands on the new album, fans were also able to pick up Warm Ones t-shirts, buttons and astronaut ice-cream. And there was much rejoicing.
In the two weeks since our show at the Hideout, a lot has been happening. Warm Ones' new album has been grabbing the attention of the press and local media. Prior to the release show, 'Sprezzatura' received a pretty positive review from Chicago Tribune writer Matt Pais in Metromix and the Redeye. We appeared live in the studio on Fearless Radio to promote the album and the show. And Timeout Chicago had a little blurb to promote the CD release. This past week, three of our songs; "Business Relations", "Hot Flash", and "Like A Game", received radio airplay on 93XRT. Host Richard Milne had some very flattering things to say about the new record, drawing comparisons to elements of the White Stripes, XTC, and the Kinks, and going so far as to call "Sprezzatura" one of his favorite new releases of the new year. We have also been invited onto Richard Milne's show 'Local Anesthetic' sometime this spring. So we look forward to that. Check back in with the website and Facebook fan page for the latest updates.
For those of you who have not yet had the chance to get a copy of the album, it is available to purchase digitally on Itunes, Lala.com, and Amazon among other places. If you want to get your hands on a physical copy, it is available in Chicago wherever fine records are sold. Or, until our online store has been setup, you can email warmones@gmail.com to request a copy, and we will deliver it to your door in 30 minutes or less.
01/21/10 - WARM ONES ANNOUNCE CD RELEASE SHOW
AT THE HIDEOUT ...AND OTHER NEWS
It has been a long time, but Warm Ones are back, and we would like to assure you we mean business. We closed out 2009 with a special show in Minneapolis with our friends Aviette and Al Church and State. It was a great show, with good friends. We will be back. Now we are charging into 2010 like a bull in a china shop. If you haven't noticed already, Warm Ones have launched their new website. This is what you are looking at right now. We are now legit. And if you can't get enough Warm Ones here, you can follow us on Facebook, Myspace, Lala, Reverb Nation ...basically we are everywhere now. Just look behind you.
And in case you were wondering if Warm Ones exist in reality as an actual physical band, this January 21st 2010, we are coming out from our winter hibernation cave like a Sasquatch Lazarus from the dead, dispelling all the myths and postulations to present you our debut LP, "Sprezzatura", in the flesh. Warm Ones will be playing a much anticipated CD Release Show at the Hideout. This will also be our first Chicago show with the newest Warm Ones member, Mike Metz (bass). Mike has recently taken the position of the irreplaceable (yet we found a way to replace him anyway), Devon Bryant. Our former bassist and recording engineer, Devon, was traded mid-season to Minneapolis for the left-handed rookie bassist, a six pack of Modelo Especial, and a falafel sandwich.
So if you can only go to one Warm Ones show this week, this is the one to be at. In addition to obtaining your very own copy of Sprezzatura on an all but obsolete format, you can also spend more money on Warm Ones t-shirts, buttons and astronaut ice cream (you read that right).
The Warm Ones promise to make it a face melter.
