Deep Pool “Track n Shop” Video
If you haven’t heard of Deep Pool, perhaps it’s because their captivating debut doesn’t come out til next week. Titled “Something in the Eye,” this beautiful 9-songer is the funny, smart, very-very cool new-old rock brainchild of Jeff Kearns (The Hang Ups). The project has spent years evolving and percolating for the right moment, and we’re so excited that the right moment is 10/7/14 on Korda Records! Here’s an advance song/video to whet your appetite.
Release show 10/22/14 @ Turf Club!

THE STARFOLK / HOLLY living room TOUR summer 2014!
In July, The Starfolk and HOLLY are heading out on a 15 city acoustic living room-backyard-dinner party-church-record store tour. Check out the cities and dates below. The tour is being promoted by word-of-mouth. Share the news with your friends around the country!
The Starfolk will be performing as a duo: Brian Tighe (of The Hang Ups) and Allison LaBonne (of The Owls); their sound is melodic, moody psych-folk-pop, rich with harmonies and adventurous chord progressions. Subtly out of this world.
Sometimes described as PJ Harvey meets The Police, or Suzanne Vega-ish, singer-songwriter (Holly Muñoz) will release her record Maps and Lists in September. HOLLY raised $50,000 to crowd fund this record, which she made with John Vanderslice.
Many of these parties are at private residences, contact us for details if you’d like to come! allison[at]kordarecords[dot]com
