Enroute London to Toronto I was up with MSTRKRFT until 4 a.m. at Turnmills with Fischerspooner (check the spelling yourself – I’m on a plane and can’t get online). I like to call it club music that you don’t have to be off your head to listen to – it rocks. They slaughtered people and the best part was the first song: “Monster Hospital (MSTRKRFT remix)”. Our DJ, playing an LGR track remixed by an LGR artist in a monstrous London dance club. Glorious! See the new video for “Easy Love” at www.myspace.com/mstrkrft. I didn’t think that any video station would ever play this but already we have MTV2 UK requesting a 7 day UK exclusive and heavy spins. Our Tiga video is spectacular (www.tiga.ca) too. Contact your local video station and ask to see both. In the next several weeks we’ll have a new video for Death From Above 1979 for “Sexy Results” (MSTRKRFT remix), Metric for “Poster of a Girl”, and Tiga is shooting a second video for his album, “Sexor” for the song called, “Far From Home”. He’s in Japan working on it right now. Stay tuned to here to see it first.
We had wonderful meetings at Midem (www.midem.com) meeting with all our license partners around the world. Welcome aboard Japan (JVC, Imperial) Germany (Lado Music, Timo), France (Naïve), UK (Drowned in Sound), Australia (Modular, Shiny). Passionate independent record companies that are joining us in the fight to bring great music to great people.
The big Metric tour rolls out February 24 starting in Toronto. Did you see them on Conan O’Brien on January 19? Did you see them opening for the Rolling Stones at Madison Square Garden on Jan 18 and 20? Yeah, it’s true. Next thing you know they will be getting Gold Records…oh wait, that is happening too! “Old World Underground” is now officially Gold in Canada. “Live It Out” continues to sell everywhere it is available.
Our new website is alive – check it out at www.lastgangrecords.com. Thanks Pinky! Have a look and let me know your comments. The president is listening…
Your President.
