DJ set in Costa Mesa!

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Just a short update today, I’m afraid.. Got to get back to work on some pretty cool things..
Thought we should let you know, though, that we’ll be emerging from our little bunker tomorrow night (June 12) long enough to spin some amazing, perhaps even never-before-heard tracks at Memphis in Costa Mesa..
Come say hello to us, [...]

May Update.

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

We’ve taken a brief break from shows for the merry, merry month of May to work on some new stuff.
If you sit quietly and are careful not to make any sudden movements, however, you might see us emerge from our little hidey-hole, noses twitching, eyes squinting in the early evening sunlight, to do a few [...]

Here are the Specialty radio stations (and the DJs) that have added “DIY” to their playlists so far.
If you listen to any of these stations, feel free to request more Pop Noir!
And if you don’t see your favorite station on here: track them down, grab them by the lapels and demand that you hear “DIY”. [...]

Doing the weather for NBC 4

Friday, March 12th, 2010

So, as promised in the last post, here’s a little backstage footage of us messing about with the NBC green screen.
If we’re a bit reserved it’s because we were concerned we shouldn’t be playing with their expensive news equipment. The proper weather man started walking over, so we tried to run away! It turns out [...]

Pop Noir on NBC “MusicRaw”

Friday, March 12th, 2010

We had a ton of fun yesterday doing a little interview and live performance on “NewsRaw”, hosted by Mekahlo Medina on NBC here in LA. We performed an exclusive acoustic version of “White Jazz”, which you will probably never see anywhere again. I don’t mean it’s bad! I just mean this video is special! Apparently [...]

With the progression of our radio campaign we at least hope to tie with She & Him, [...]
