. Rogers first-ever North American headline tour sold out more than two months in advance of its launch. The run kicks off March 20th at The Irenic in San Diego and includes concerts at the historic Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA (March 21), Chicago's Lincoln Hall (April 2), U Street Music Hall in Washington, DC (April 8) and New York City's Bowery Ballroom (April 11) and Music Hall of Williamsburg (April 12) . See below for all dates. Rogers has been chosen as a Tidal Artist To Watch (RISING) for 2017 and as a Google Play Music 2017 Artist To Watch. Vevo, Pandora, the BBC and numerous publications - including Billboard, V Magazine, Baeble, Pigeons & Planes, Idolator, Paste and more - have also tipped her as an artist to watch. "(Maggie Rogers') voice is mesmerizing... musicality so layered and complex, said NPR, which named her as one of its Favorite Musicians of 2016and included "Alaska" on its Top Songs of 2016 list- listen to Rogers interview
on NPR's Weekend Edition
. The single also showed up on year-end lists by such outlets as Gorilla Vs Bear, W Magazine and Stereogum. A critic for The New Yorker said, "('Alaska') pushed me forward in 2016." Baeble observed, "It's not often that a truly special artist comes along. One that captures your full attention. One that makes the world shake with a single song. One that completely embodies a free-spirited energy and defines artistry. But Maggie Rogers is one of those rarities." V Magazine praised "Dog Years" as "another stellar track" and Billboardhailed it as "a blissful sonic journey," noting, "'Dog Years' solidifies (Maggie Rogers) as an artist to watch (and with a close eye, at that)." While Paste declares, "'On + Off' is Rogers doing pop, and doing it better than most. (She) is batting three for three right now, and the signs don't point to her letting up." Pitchfork declares Rogers is, "standing at the intersection of so many genres (pop, folk, soul, and dance), (her) music is united by the brazen heart she wears on her sleeve."

Saint Pé (formerly of Black Lips) announces debut LP, shares track via Noisey
SAINT PÉ (IAN SAINT PÉ OF BLACK LIPS, DIAMOND RUGS)ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM FIXED FOCUS
SHARES NEW TRACK "KISS IT GOODBYE"PREMIERED VIA NOISEY
ANNOUNCES U.S. TOUR DATES, INCLUDING ALBUM RELEASE SHOWAT BABY'S ALL RIGHT
FIXED FOCUS DUE APRIL 7, 2017VIA ERNEST JENNING RECORD CO.
STREAM // EMBED "KISS IT GOODBYE"
Ernest Jenning Record Co. is thrilled to announce Fixed Focus , the debut album from Saint Pé(Ian Saint Pé, longtime Black Lips and Diamond Rugs guitarist). Noisey shared the first music from the new album with their premiere of " Kiss It Goodbye ," calling the track "a reconfiguring of his old band's rock 'n' roll ideal." Fixed Focus is due April 7, 2017, and is available to preorder HERE . " Kiss It Goodbye " is available to stream or embed HERE .
Saint Pé has also announced a run of U.S. tour dates, beginning on April 7 at WMFU's Monty Hallin Jersey City, NJ, followed by an album release show on April 8 at Baby's All Right in Brooklyn, NY (with labelmates Las Rosas) and dates in Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, Athens, andNashville. The full list of tour dates is below.
In 2014, after 10 years of touring the world (literally every continent but Antarctica!) in Atlanta's legendary Black Lips as well as the critically-acclaimed Diamond Rugs, guitarist and vocalist Ian Saint Pé needed a change. As he put it, "The only thing you can't change is time, So it was time that changed me. I loved the Black Lips, but I needed to enjoy new environments. So I got a brand new bag: Saint Pé."
He packed up his gear and moved to Nashville, where he settled down in a log cabin formerly owned by country legend Roy Acuff. Before long, that home had also turned into a studio, and with the help of a number of Atlanta-based friends, Fixed Focus was born. It's less a departure from the sounds of the Lips and Rugs as it is an informed continuation of them that maintains all the hooks and pop sensibilities of his previous acts, while refining them with a bit of Nashville class and a hint of the darkness that 10 years on the road imbues upon the soul.
From singalong stompers "Street Lights," "Got The Look" and " Kiss It Goodbye " to Southern Gothic explorations like "Burning Bright" and "Carbon Maker," Fixed Focus is a fully-formed solo debut that sounds more like an album from deep into an established career.
Recorded by Saint Pé himself, Fixed Focus was then mixed by Matt Boynton (Kurt Vile, MGMT) in New York City and mastered by Joel Hatstat in Athens, GA.
With his first record finally in that brand new bag and new songs already on the way, Saint Pé plans to spend the foreseeable future back on the road with this latest project, bringing his new sounds to plenty of familiar faces.

MORE ON SWEET SPIRIT:
Ironically, the eight-piece band Sweet Spirit started as a solo project.
Austin singer Sabrina Ellis was going through some distressing times: the band that she fronted for several years, Bobby Jealousy, with her then husband was disintegrating along with their relationship. Everything Ellis was working toward was suddenly in free-fall.
She started Sweet Spirit to hone her ability to write and perform on her own. “It was supposed to be focused on me writing solo, and performing with the guitar,” she says. But it didn’t stay that way for long.
When Ellis started Sweet Spirit, she was still writing and performing with her longstanding garage punk band A Giant Dog. AGD Co-founder Andrew Cashen was intrigued by Ellis’ new emphasis on soul and country and pop music as touchstones for Sweet Spirit and quickly climbed on board the project. “I’m very comfortable doing loud and fast,” Cashen says, “so this is uncharted territory for me.”
Together Ellis and Cashen began turning out songs at a breakneck pace. They assembled a core band of four more members, rehearsed religiously, and started playing gigs around town. Immediately they began turning heads and packing clubs.
Within six months they had gotten noticed by one of Austin’s most famous musical residents, Britt Daniel of Spoon. In October of 2014, Daniel asked the band to perform at Spoon’s “secret” tour kick off show at the cramped rock club Hotel Vegas for their latest record They Want My Soul, and Sweet Spirit was quickly thrown into the local buzzmill.
As Austin accolades continued to pile up into 2015, Sweet Spirit was added as an official SXSW showcase act without a full-length record or ever having applied. National attention from Esquire, the L.A. Times and other outlets solidified their status as Austin’s “next great rock band” and earned them a spot as the opener on 12 Midwest and West Coast Spoon tour dates.
Meanwhile, the band released their full-length debut Cokomo, as well as a two song collaboration with Daniel, receiving praise from Stereogum, Consequence Of Sound, SPIN, and other outlets, and leading to two more national tours.
In between shows, the band found time to work with producer Steve Berlin (Los Lobos, Deer Tick) on their sophomore full-length St. Mojo. The new record comes out on April 7, 2017 on Austin label Nine Mile Records and features a bigger, more dynamic set of songs. Lead single "The Power" has already become a fan favorite at live shows, while the Queen-esque track "The Mighty" and Prince dance funk of "I Wanna Have You" take the band is exciting, unexpected new directions. Guest contributions from members of Grupo Fantasma, Mother Falcon and A Giant Dog help expand the band's already considerable sound.

The band has just announced an expansive North American tourin support of their upcoming sophomore album, St. Mojo , out April 7 via Nine Mile Records. Expect big vocals, whiskey-tinged pop with a blues-rock edge. Before heading out, Sweet Spirit will kick things off in their hometown during SXSW at the Nine Mile Records and Do512 showcases as well as a show with frequent collaborators Spoon (+ more TBA).
Be sure to tune into The Best Show with Tom Scharpling on Tuesday, February 21 at 9pm EST for the first taste of St. Mojo – the debut single from the upcoming album will be premiering exclusively on air.

MORE ON SWEET SPIRIT:
Ironically, the eight-piece band Sweet Spirit started as a solo project.
Austin singer Sabrina Ellis was going through some distressing times: the band that she fronted for several years, Bobby Jealousy, with her then husband was disintegrating along with their relationship. Everything Ellis was working toward was suddenly in free-fall.
She started Sweet Spirit to hone her ability to write and perform on her own. “It was supposed to be focused on me writing solo, and performing with the guitar,” she says. But it didn’t stay that way for long.
When Ellis started Sweet Spirit, she was still writing and performing with her longstanding garage punk band A Giant Dog. AGD Co-founder Andrew Cashen was intrigued by Ellis’ new emphasis on soul and country and pop music as touchstones for Sweet Spirit and quickly climbed on board the project. “I’m very comfortable doing loud and fast,” Cashen says, “so this is uncharted territory for me.”
Together Ellis and Cashen began turning out songs at a breakneck pace. They assembled a core band of four more members, rehearsed religiously, and started playing gigs around town. Immediately they began turning heads and packing clubs.
Within six months they had gotten noticed by one of Austin’s most famous musical residents, Britt Daniel of Spoon. In October of 2014, Daniel asked the band to perform at Spoon’s “secret” tour kick off show at the cramped rock club Hotel Vegas for their latest record They Want My Soul, and Sweet Spirit was quickly thrown into the local buzzmill.
As Austin accolades continued to pile up into 2015, Sweet Spirit was added as an official SXSW showcase act without a full-length record or ever having applied. National attention from Esquire, the L.A. Times and other outlets solidified their status as Austin’s “next great rock band” and earned them a spot as the opener on 12 Midwest and West Coast Spoon tour dates.
Meanwhile, the band released their full-length debut Cokomo, as well as a two song collaboration with Daniel, receiving praise from Stereogum, Consequence Of Sound, SPIN, and other outlets, and leading to two more national tours.
In between shows, the band found time to work with producer Steve Berlin (Los Lobos, Deer Tick) on their sophomore full-length St. Mojo. The new record comes out on April 7, 2017 on Austin label Nine Mile Records and features a bigger, more dynamic set of songs. Lead single "The Power" has already become a fan favorite at live shows, while the Queen-esque track "The Mighty" and Prince dance funk of "I Wanna Have You" take the band is exciting, unexpected new directions. Guest contributions from members of Grupo Fantasma, Mother Falcon and A Giant Dog help expand the band's already considerable sound.

Blondie Releases New Video for "Fun" via Entertainment Weekly
PRESS HERE to Watch 11th Studio Album Pollinator Out May 5th Pre-Order Available Now Co-Headlining Tour with Garbage Kicks off July 5th
(Photo Credit: Alexander Thompson)New York, NY - [February 15, 2017] - Blondie has unveiled a new video for "Fun," the first track from their 11th studio album Pollinator (BMG) - PRESS HERE to watch. The video for the frenetic track, which premiered via EW.com , opens with a space traveler hurtling through the galaxy amidst trippy, kaleidoscopic animation. After landing on Mars, a celestial rave led by Blondie ensues where everyone is welcomed, accepted and celebrated. Directed by Dikayl Rimmasch (Beyonce's "Lemonade," Formation World Tour), the "Fun" video serves as an escape from the current tension and division gripping the U.S. and beyond and features imagery representing Blondie's experience of New York City's '70s music and club culture inspired by the acclaimed photography of Blondie songwriter/guitarist Chris Stein.
"The band was really welcoming and open," says Rimmasch. "Debbie is beautiful and beautifully enigmatic. It was amazing to be on the other side of the glass from her when those 'Debbie moments' happened it felt like I had stepped into a parallel dimension."
PRESS HERE to pre-order Pollinator available in CD, digital and heavy weight vinyl formats as well as a limited edition 7" box set. World-renowned artist Shepard Fairey designed the album artwork. Fans can also pre-order a limited red heavy weight vinyl album from Blondie's store.
With arrangements that are fast and fun, lyrics that are romantic and teasing, and infectious synth-stoked hooks that will have everyone on their feet, Blondie's sound and sensibility is as fresh on Pollinator as when they first topped the charts. "This is music as it's supposed to be," says Debbie Harry, "Filled with spirit, fun and true soul."
The band has enlisted an eclectic group of songwriters for their most collaborative album to date. Those offering their own interpretation of the band's legacy are superstar Sia, Blood Orange frontman Dev Hynes, British singer Charli XCX, Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio), Nick Valensi (The Strokes), Johnny Marr (The Smiths) and Canadian movie blogger and indie rocker Adam Johnston (an Unkindness). The LP, produced by John Congleton (Franz Ferdinand, St. Vincent, Sigur Ros) and recorded at NYC's famed studio The Magic Shop, also features vocals from Joan Jett, cross dressing comedian and singer John Roberts and The Gregory Brothers (founders of Songify the News). Laurie Anderson appears on a special hidden track on the CD version.
Singer-songwriter Debbie Harry, guitarist and co-writer Chris Stein, powerhouse drummer Clem Burke, and long-time band members bassist Leigh Foxx, guitarist Tommy Kessler and keyboardist Matt Katz-Bohen will bring Blondie's one-of-a-kind live magic to the stage when they kick off their North American co-headlining Rage and Rapture Tour with Garbage on July 5th.Pre-sale tickets are available now ( PRESS HERE ) using the password RAGEANDRAPTURE (not available in all markets.)
