    These kids are on fire-BM LINX

    Have we mentioned the launch party this weds at Santos yet? No? Oh, shit, we should.

    (I mean it was also in the New Yorker, but who the hell reads that?)

    One of our bands, the superfierce BM Linx, threw some questions around with us via email. Catch those under the cut...now.

    we backed up showed you the ropes

    The Ropes were the first New York band I discovered and loved entirely on my own after moving to NY in March, without anyone pointing me to them, and I quickly became obsessed with their dark, witty, fuzzy, smarmy & literate take on...what? No-wave? Shamble pop? Jangle rock? Garage-top? Doesn't matter, they're smart and they'll punch you, and if you're smart you'll let them.

    They're playing the soldout launch party at Santos this Weds Feb 10 (which you can win tickets to here), and one of my live favorites of theirs that stands out equally in studio recording is "Be My Gun".

    The Ropes: Be My Gun

    It's the fucking fuzz as the song blows up into that plea-"listen/listen/here's a warning"-god, this is a great fucking song. The Ropes recently popped out a new EP and single, and all of their music is available for consumption at their site.

    Catch The Ropes at our party at Santos Party House Weds, Feb 10, 7pm.

    Win Tickets to the Soldout Launch Party!

    So, our big launch party at Santos Party House is officially less than a week away, and we're as excited as Taylor Swift on Grammy night.

    Get your $10 tickets here - and do it fast!

    If you're still on the fence about coming out on a Wednesday to rock, check out our Apartment Story session with headliners The Bloodsugars.

    Picture that, but louder. And with drinks. And preceded by equally stellar music from Ludlow Lions, BMLINX, and The Ropes. And with some deejaying by Ben Breier and Richy.

    Because we're feeling nice, we're offering one lucky person a pair of tickets to the party. Just e-mail your full name, age, and why we should give you tickets to info@soldoutmusic.com. Bonus points for witticisms and pictures of pugs.

    Apartment Stories: The Bloodsugars 

    When we named The Bloodsugars as our favorite new band of 2009, it was on two merits: the strong tunes that make up their debut album and their impressively energetic live show.

    Those same two merits, plus the fact that they've pretty much earned the status of "band we force anyone with a half-mile radius to listen to" here at soldout, also netted them a prime slot at our soldoutmusic launch part at Santos Party House in NY on Feb 10.

    To celebrate the upcoming launch, we recently crammed the guys of The Bloodsugars into soldout Liz's apartment for a soldout Aparment Story session-1 flipcam, 1 song stripped to its bare essentials, no redoes or editing.

    Launch Party

    We've hinted at it. We've whispered about it. We've told all our friends, and they've told some friends, and it basically turned into the worst-kept-secret of a shampoo commercial ever.

    And now...here it is. The soldoutmusic official launch party.
