[cid:image001.jpg at 01CC4AC0.EAA17D90]

Following their performance at Terminal 5 this month, Mercury Music Prize winning five-piece Gomez will be performing their single “Options” on The Tonight Show. The band will be touring this fall in support of their seventh studio album, Whatever’s On Your Mind. Gomez’ live shows are legendary – the genre-defying band has quietly built a massive audience by consistently transporting listeners into a state of head-bobbing bliss. With their signature vocals and song stylings in full effect on this album, you can count on electrifying performances that show the true musicality of the band.Driving forward with their new beautifully lush and dynamic album, don’t miss a performance by this unique band that will surely strike you in the heart and leave you singing on the way out.

Praise for Gomez:
"'The Place and the People' pairs folky acoustic guitar with laserlike synth riff, while 'Options' and 'I Will Take You There' get funky disco-soul sax licks from Antibalas horn whiz Stuart Bogie" ­–SPIN

“Gomez blends the genres [folk, blues, electronic, and whatever else they feel like throwing in] to create consistently compelling and entertaining textures.” –Paste

With each new record, the band has grown tighter and more confident. Gomez's latest album, Whatever's On Your Mind, is its catchiest yet — a folky yet funky take on low-key rock.”- NPR

Anna Calvi *The Late Show with David Letterman* Wednesday, July 27th @ 11:35pm/10:35c

[Anna Calvi_Emma Nathan new.jpg]Last week brought Anna Calvi a Mercury Music Prize nomination for her self-titled debut! "Anna Calvi" was released on Domino earlier this year. This week Anna will be making a return to NYC to perform a show at Le Poisson Rouge in Greenwich Village on Wednesday July 27th. That night she will be the musical guest on CBS' Late Show With David Letterman - marking her US Network Television debut. For those of us lucky enough to catch one of Anna Calvi’s first shows in the U.S. last month the scene was this: a darkened room, sweltering heat and dripping sweat. As the stage filled with smoke, she emerged like ice cold water hitting sauna rocks – Anna Calvi shredded her guitar with all the passion and vigor we’d imagined. The video for Anna's current single "Desire" was premiered on Pitchfork last month and can be seen here: http://pitchfork.com/news/42957-video-anna-calvi-desire/. Be sure to tune into the small screen on Wednesday evening to catch a tour de force performance from Ms. Calvi.

[VC2-72.jpg]VANESSA CARLTON on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (NBC) on Wednesday, July 27th

Vanessa Carlton will be making a special appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Wednesday, July 27th to play “Carousel,” first single from her new album Rabbits on the Run. Set for release tomorrow, July 26th,  Rabbits on the Run is the most honest and uncompromised album Vanessa Carlton has recorded to date, revealing a striking departure and an exciting snapshot in the evolution of this exquisite storyteller and inventive musician. The album was recorded in the UK at Peter Gabriel’s world-renowned Real World Studios with producer Steve Osborne (U2, B-52’s, KT Tunstall, Doves). The album finds Vanessa returning to music-making its most organic form to create ten intimate, evocative songs, recorded directly to tape. Partly inspired by two books, Richard Adams' Watership Down and Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time,   Rabbits on the Run is 10-song set of gorgeous, haunting melodies and finely-crafted stories, including the lush first single "Carousel,” the ambient and eerie “Hear the Bells” and the propulsive “London.”

Praise for Rabbits on the Run:
“A lovely sort of melancholy magic.” - Entertainment Weekly

“Rabbits on the Run is Vanessa Carlton's career high water mark thus far, especially on the stunning "Hear the Bells" and "Dear California", a disarming love letter to the Golden State.” KCRW’s Chris Douridas

“Vanessa Carlton again demonstrates her knack for pensive, piano-driven pop on ‘Carousel’ from Rabbits on the Run.” - People

“Singer and pianist Ms. Carlton has long aspired to a different brand of pop stardom: less navel-baring ….and more melodramatic, heavily arranged pop symphonies.” - The New York Times

“Wistful, piano-led balladry, but there's a touch of darkness and complexity on display here that wasn't as apparent on her earlier hits…. she's certainly not just another sensitive girl with a piano….”  - RollingStone.com<http://RollingStone.com/>
