Attention all concert goers...

I just came across this great piece of software that keeps you up to date on concert tours you might be into. It's called OnTour and it's FREE! The coolest thing is that it looks at the artists in the music library on your computer, then it tells you if/when they're touring. AND you can add artists to search. This thing is rad. It connects you to ticket outlets, gives you directions to the show, and even sells downloads (to PC users). The only thing it doesn't do is pick your outfit. Check it out:

Been crazy busy, but new music coming soon... stay tuned!

Another Great Music Blogs Turns Readers on to The Prix!

First of all, there are a lot of big doings on the horizon for Shameless, and those of you who visit us here are getting a preview! In anticipation of our trip to SXSW in March and the launch of a new project shortly after that, we at Shameless have decided to update our look. To your right, you'll see a preview of our new logo - whaddaya think?! By late February we're gonna have a whole new website launch, so watch for that announcement!

Even more exciting: Shameless is involved in introducing L.A. to Britain's next big thing: Black Wire! If you haven't heard them yet, check it out on Myspace and iTunes (the U.S. release of their CD is Feb. 14th, if you're holding out for a physical CD). Their first trip ever to the U.S. is taking place in only a couple of weeks, and we're psyched to be a part of the L.A. portion of their tour! Make sure you join our mailing list so we can send you the details as we confirm everything.



FINALLY: The awesome mp3 blog Music For Robots has just added one of the most creatively written reviews of one of Shameless' favorite bands' best songs, The Prix' Shoot Out the Lights:

"...this is one of those great songs where it sounds like the wheels could come off during the chorus and the whole thing could go spinning off a cliff at any moment, bursting into a ball of fire, piano keys spitting into the air. But they reel it in tight, and restrain themselves before shit gets crazy. It's a wonderful feeling..."

go to Music for Robots to check out the whole thing and hear the song for yourself!

Happy 2006!

Hello Shameless friends! Glad to see you made it into the new year with all your fingers intact. Hopefully you weren't one of the many disappointed by the last-minute cancellation of L.A.'s Giant Village (who woulda' thought it would rain??). But console yourselves with all of the awesome CDs we have to look forward to in the early part of this year! Here are a few that we're especially giddy about:

Arctic Monkeys
Art Brut (U.S. release - but who really waited for that?)
Black Wire
Electric Six
The Flaming Lips
Pearl Jam
The Vacation

and so many more that I can't even remember now... enjoy, yo!
