Cold Hands reunion show, Royal Bangs news
For some folks, a “reunion” show of a band that’s only been apart for six months, give or take, might seem a little self-serving. We have it on good authority, however — from Cold Hands frontman Henry Gibson himself — that it’s for a good cause. (And really, what other “cause” is there besides dancing your ass off? Seriously. Cold Hands is a smokin’ indie dance-pop outfit.)
We wrote about the band last October (you can read that here), when the group put out the album “Sex. Beats. Romance.,” and shortly thereafter, Gibson joined up with up-and-coming indie rockers The Royal Bangs. The Bangs are signed to Audio Eagle Records, owned by one of the dudes from The Black Keys, and according to Henry, the new Bangs album is due out in September. No word on the name or anything else … but in the meantime, you can check out the Bangs’ Audio Eagle page (where you can download a free mp3), and keep up with the band on Myspace for the latest on the new record.
In the meantime, you can check out Cold Hands — at the reunion show — at 9 p.m. Friday, July 31, at The Longbranch Saloon, 1848 Cumberland Ave. (”The Strip”) in Knoxville. Also on the bill: You Just Don’t, Flak Jaket and Kiss Your Ghost. Admission is $5.
As a bonus … you can download a free Cold Hands mp3 from our site!
