Love Is Chemicals, Solar Powered People, New Three Ring Website and More!

Whew! It's been like a circus here under the Three Ring Records big top. For us, 2009 saw the summer of Love Is Chemicals with lots of sunshine worship from Solar Powered People, as both bands released their albums in July. Now that the dreamy weather season has arrived, things are only going to get cozier in the Three Ring tent as we get set to unveil our new amazing acts: Amores Vigilantes, The Foreign Resort and Snowstorm Music's The New Slave. We are also proud to annouce the launch of our new website! So stay tuned! In the meantime, hold on to your hats for the latest death-defying details:

Love is Chemicals
Kind of like his Sesame Street surname sake, Nate Grover was attacked by a case of the catchy melodies while changing lanes, standing in the shower with foamy hair or just trailing off in mid-conversation. Nate Grover sang the blues that would become "Song of the Summer Youth Brigade", released by Three Ring in July.Among other glowing reviews, the Owl Mag raved about the album's quality songwriting: "they shimmer with wistfulness... and they posses an emotional resonance that sneaks up on you rather than hitting you over the head." We'll be adding more reviews as well as the story of the making of the album on the Love Is Chemicals page.

Solar Powered People
While the world was falling apart in 2009, Solar Powered People were coming together to shine better than ever. "Simplicity, space, change, hope, love, loss, melody and growth." Those were the artistic ingredients that singer Tony Pennington used for the album "Living Through the Low", a July Three Ring release. "It's all about the state of things in the world, our lives and what just seemed like everything going on around us that sums up the title," said Tony. Heave Media described the opening track "Melting Ice and Snow" as: "rushing together to create an explosion of sound and style. Their songs have this certain exuberance that intertwines with the intricate layering of guitars and rhythm section..."Check out the Modesto band's page soon for the cool story behind the album's artwork by Solar Powered People drummer Ryan Coscia as well as behind the mixing board anecdotes from Sacramento's favorite producer and musician extraordinaire, Matt McCord.


500 Records News
September saw the release of Identical Homes album "Machine Made Moods," which has been described as a soundtrack for dreaming. Envision the dusty sounds of Boards of Canada and catchiness of Pinback mixed with samples from "Apocalypse Now." You get the idea! And coming out on Oct. 27: James & Evander: "This Isn't the Beginning of Anything." The Oakland duo consists of Adam Myatt (James Madison) and Glenn Jackson (Evander Owens). After meeting in school they started working together recording Bay Area bands and wrote "The Awkward Turtle E.P." (5HR001). "This Isn't the Beginning of Anything," (5H013) shows how the two have progressed as songwriters and producers as they expand and collaborate with even more Bay Area musicians. The nine instrumental tracks walk the line between dancey and ambient with a pop sensibility.

And Coming Up Next!
Amores Vigilantes: Delfin Vigil and K.C. Staubach have been known to lose their car keys and things, not to mention every once in a while, their minds. Wasn't too much of a surprise then, when one of them forgot where the other said they'd stored the mastertapes to their album. Fortunately the recordings were found, along with a key to a place called West Coast Kingdom. Check the Amores Vigilantes page for news on the debut album release. The Foreign Resort: The Great Danes leave Copenhagen to invade America for a series of shows this month in anticipation of releasing their Nordic Soul album, "Offshore." The album, already getting glowing reviews in Europe will gets its Three Ring release in early 2010 - including a 12" vinyl edition of the LP - a Three Ring first!
