The Willowz: to release Chautauqua
Momentum for The Willowz is building as more people are being exposed to the Southern California garage-punk band. Their music was used in the Grammy-winning Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and more recently in The Science of Sleep. The music video for Cons and Tricks was nominated for Video of the Year on MTV2's Subterranean.
Signing to Dim Mak Records is giving The Willowz the push they'll need as they release Chautauqua on March 20. Having just finished a European tour, the band will be performing for the industry mogul at South by Southwest on March 14. After their CD Release Party for Chautauqua in Hollywood on March 20, The Willowz will kick off a US tour, lasting till the end of May. Tracks for Chautauqua can be heard on MySpace.
Jive Magazine gave Chautauqua a 5 out of 5:
"Continuing to channel the blues, rock, and soul of the 60's and 70's, the Willowz approach, although the antithesis of the minimalist framework of the White Stripes, maintains a similar sonic quality. Whether they are playing loud and raucous or twangy and soulful, this foursome from Anaheim, CA on Chautauqua has raised their song writing to truly legendary heights."
