Representin' ma boy Jared.

Augustana on May 27th, in Indianapolis! Huzzah! Come one, come all. Yes, you SHOULD go see them because they're awesome. Theyll be in NYC soon (attn: Dave, Marge, Jenny, Alex) and Detroit and Chicago later this summer.

I saw this online:


Those yellow arrows point to the silhouettes of me, Erika, Justin, Erin, Grace, and Roger, from when we saw them in LA. Yes, we're on an official Augustana photo. Awesome.

Listen to their first single, "All the Stars and Boulevards," online here (as well as my favorite "Boston"): PureVolume. Their myspace might be better quality though: MySpace

And I also saw them on this site with the likes of Oasis and Ben Folds, tied to tv shows on the WB. Maybe they'll be on a "fresh" episode of One Tree Hill or...Everwood. Haha. I'm hoping for The O.C.

And lastly, here is an article about them:

Augustana To Tour With Stereophonics
Epic recording artists Augustana are hitting the road with Stereophonics for a tour that began April 24th at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver.

The California-based quartet (vocalist/pianist/guitarist Dan Layus, guitarist Josiah Rosen, bassist/keyboardist Jared Palomar and drummer Justin South) will be previewing material from their much-buzzed-about Epic debut All The Stars And Boulevards. The album, produced by Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young), arrives in stores this summer.

Led by first single "Stars and Boulevards," the album introduces the foursome whose roots can be traced back to the winter of 2004, when college classmates Layus, Rosen and Palomar left Greenville, Illinois to pursue music in California. After recruiting South, they bounced around the country, sharpening their sound. They eventually landed in Chicago, where they continued to write and record. A demo made its way to O'Brien, who jetted to the Windy City to find out if the band could deliver the goods live. He discovered that they could. A few months later, they were in Atlanta, recording their debut album in O'Brien's Southern Tracks studio.
