New Show Dates and Nationwide Radio Play!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving (to those of you who are not vegetarians at least...I for one can't stand Tofurkey). Argyle Johansen has added two new shows (see the right side of this page) with more to come in January featuring the electric guitar stylings of Michael P. from Schocholautte, who I think should officially be confirmed as an honorary member of Argyle Johansen now. The next show will be Dec. 30th at Bar Matchless on Brooklyn's lovely Northside.

In other news, Argyle Johansen's debut LP has been added to the rotation of 78 (at last count) of the top 300 College radio stations nationwide (as well as our Canadian neighbors) with more adding the record each week. We've charted in the Top 30 on about 20 of those stations so far including Soma FM in San Francisco and markets in NY, PA, OH, WA, NC an ND. We'll have a complete list along with the appropriate contact info for each station's request line after the holiday weekend. Don't eat too much.

Artist of the Week and Interview on Radio VIC Ithaca College

Argyle Johansen is this week's (Nov 9 through 13) Artist of the Week on Ithaca College's Radio VIC. Argyle's music is being spun all week and I also recorded a phone interview with the station's music director of which snippets are being played throughout the week on the station's New Music Program.

Rockwood Music Hall, November 10th and thanks to the crowd at Bruar Falls


Thanks again to the crowd at Bruar Falls, Brooklyn. We had about 24 hours to promote this show and game 6 of the World Series to compete with, so to everyone who was there: Thanks for making our first show at this new and exciting venue a success! Thanks also to Michael P and Capn' K from Schocholautte (myspace.com/schocholautte - if you don't know them you should!) who lent their talents on electic geetar and drums respectively for filling in on such short notice and setting things up. We've got another show coming up this Tuesday, November 10th at Rockwood Music Hall on the Lower East Side at 6pm for their newly inaugurated Happy Hour which will also feature Mr. P's electric guitar stylings as our special guest band member! It's gonna be a great show and was just featured on the front page of Deli NYC! We're looking forward to seeing all of you 9 to 5er's there!

Wednesday night at Bruar Falls in Williamsburg, Brookyln


For those of you not planning on watching tonight's game 6 of the World Series (since I'm calling it that Pedro will spank the Yankees and we'll all get to watch game 7 on Thursday anywhoo) come to Bruar Falls tonight in the heart of Williamsburg, BK for a sweet double bill of Argyle Johansen and the wunderband Schocholautte. This is a total last minute thing at a great new Brooklyn venue (the same people who run Cakeshop in Manhattan) and we're as excited as can be to be playing. The show was booked for a special guest due to be in attendance tonight to check out Schocholuatte's set, so they'll be pulling out all the stops and are bringing the A game (as will Argyle who will have a special guest-mustachioed electric guitar player sitting in on the set). he doors are at 8 and music starts at 8:45. Did I mention that there's NO COVER?!?!?
