long hot summer

"As long as we're dancin', we ain't fightin'! When blacks were rioting, a song by Martha and the Vandellas came on the radio: 'Dancin' in the Streets'! I think that song was deliberately promoted by the government, during that long hot summer, to distract blacks from taking care of serious business."

Wanda Coleman, in Re/Search #13: Angry Women

Hi Susan,
I hope you don't mind if I leave a message for you here about my band the Actual Facts. We're an indie-pop band from Brooklyn, NY. We'd like you to hear the new CD we released in April. It's called Pain/Pleasure; six songs exploring such themes as identity, religion, fashion-grooming, and the art of the booty call.

You can hear the whole thing at our myspace page at:

myspace.com/theactualfacts

The tracks here are all downloadable. There's more information and some photos up on our EPK at sonicbids.com/theactualfacts.

Hope you like our songs. Let us know if you'd like a hard copy of the CD, and we'll put one in the mail.

In the meantime, if you find yourself out our way this summer, we've got shows coming up in July and August in New York. The first is on July 10th at Bowery Poetry club, at the book launch for anarchist comic artist Seth Tobocman. I'm hoping we'll make
Austin next year.

Regards,
Tim/Facts

Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective.

A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and appearance. I must say you have done a great job with this. Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Opera. Outstanding Blog!
