Check out this recent piece of flattering press our darling lads, The Ums, got from Daytrotter (www.daytrotter.com).
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the boys during their local performance this past weekend at The Warehouse with The Intoxicators and other guests. A rambunctious and joyful time was had by all.

Official Tangemeenie Blog! And "The Gilded Age" Project
More big news! (Whizz, bang!!!) The SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING! Well, no, not exactly. Though the stock market did take a big tumble today. But more importantly, Cloud 13's Tangemeenie is launching a new Blog (conveniently located at www.tangemeenie.com), and at the same time, the daring duo is embarking on an exciting new multimedia adventure/recording project called "The Gilded Age".
The new blog will feature updates on the group's progress on the new recording project, production notes, amusing personal anecdotes, and most importantly, exclusive free mp3 downloads of tracks from the forthcoming CD at various stages in the recording process--all of which will culminate in Tangemeenie's attempt to make DIY history by being the first band on earth to produce and manufacture a commercial-retail quality CD using only a single personal computer (well, and some musical instruments and external devices).
Head on over to the Official Tangemeenie Blog(TM) today and let us know what you think. The blog will be updated at least on a monthly basis, with more frequent updates possible, so either subscribe here to get updates sent straight to your browser when they arrive, or check back frequently to see what's new.

Grand Canyons Self-Titled Debut; The Ums Wow the Athenians; Price Drop!
I'm pleased to announce that The Grand Canyon's eponymously named debut is now available through the Cloud 13 Records online store. This is technically a re-release, with remastered tracks and some other minor changes, but for all practical purposes, this is the first time this excellent full-length is being released in its present form. The Grand Canyons are currently playing occasional gigs in the Orlando, Florida, area so check them out if the stars align just right.
Also, thanks to everyone who came out to the Caledonia Lounge to see our boys The Ums last week. We're told the performance was a rousing success, and a great time was had by all.
One final piece of big news this go around: We're lowering the prices of all the titles in our catalog by nearly 20%, effective immediately. From now until further notice, all full-lengths will be available at $12.99 and all EPs will be available for a mere $10.00. At prices like these, you can't afford not to buy. So stock up.
If you've purchased CDs from our online store under the previous pricing structure, and you're so mad you can't stand it, drop me a line at info@cloud13records.com and I'll make you an offer you can't refuse.

Heavy Rainbow Sneak Preview
BREAKING NEWS: For a limited time only, in anticipation of the Soft Targets’ local CD release party (September 28th at The Warehouse with The Ums and Wylee Wrathbone), the Cloud 13 Records’ Jukebox is proud to feature exclusive streaming audio of all 13 uncut tracks from the Soft Target’s new full-length, “Heavy Rainbow”! This exclusive sneak preview will be available only through Cloud 13 Records.
So drop by the Cloud 13 website (www.cloud13records.com/about.shtml) any time between Sept 22nd and Sept. 28th, click on the Jukebox icon in the upper right-hand corner of the menu, turn your computer speakers up, and then just sit back and enjoy a sneak preview of these long-awaited recordings. Then if you happen to be in or near the sleepy little town of Tallahassee at the right time, drop by the Warehouse, pick up an advance copy of the disc from the band themselves, and congratulate the boys on a job well done, because “Heavy Rainbow” is a remarkable accomplishment: An ambitious modern pop record that finds this talented trio exploring bold new directions without sacrificing what’s always made them great, with producer Tim DeLaney (The Swimming Pool-Qs, Kopernik) back at the helm.
And there’s plenty of more cool stuff coming up soon, too: As we’ve announced before, we’re winding up for the national release of The Ums “Men of Science” EP in Winter 2007. We’ll announce the “official” release date in the next few weeks. In the meantime, we’ve just been given a sneak preview of The Ums next project, entitled “Sleepytime,” and we were blown away, so we can’t wait until you get a chance to hear it, too. “Sleepytime” is unlike anything The Ums—or for that matter, anyone—has done before: A multi-part song-cycle that runs uninterrupted for twenty minutes from beginning to end, weaving together musical movements—perfect mini pop gems—that ultimately come together to breathtaking effect. “Sleepytime” is The Ums’ most ambitious and accomplished project yet and we can’t wait until you get to hear it.
