The Colorado Sound – V4 EP34 Sept 2012

I was doing sound at Oskar Blues in Longmont Friday night when one of the girls said she heard Churchill on the radio earlier in the day.  Big congrats to Churchill who signed on with A&M/Octone Records.  Their “Change” EP is being worked to radio nationally, which puts yet another Colorado band on the fast track to national recognition.   I would fully expect to hear KBCO play something from them, and perhaps KTCL if they’re not already, … and maybe even 105.9 Alice… that all on top of the airplay the band has received on Open Air 1340, KGNU, and KRFC on the Front Range.

First things first:  Make sure you check out News Notes & Spins – under the charts category … for the Aug Top 40 and more …

Thanks to Andy Rok for making sure I got new Bop Skizzum music to debut exclusively this week.  Much love to those folks – the new material sounds great.   Also new this week – The Yawpers debut full length.   I just received and am looking forward to some other new releases breaking on the show next week – including one from a relatively new artist on the scene who has the support of an all-star lineup of support from some of the the top bands in the state:  Keith Moseley, Bill Nershi and Kyle Hollingsworth (The String Cheese Incident), Chris Misner and Tyler Grant (Grant Farm & Drew Emmitt Band), Andy Thorn (Leftover Salmon & Emmitt Nershi Band), Chris Thompson and Stef Briggs (Coral Creek), Joe Lessard (Head for the Hills), and Liza Oxnard (Kyle Hollingsworth Band, Motet) …and new music from a band that Westword’s Dave Herrera had in his HEAVY ROTATION last week – The Royal.
