hello bye bye

American Dust is pleased to announce our latest band: the wonderful, capricious Bye Bye Blackbirds.

Do you like Big Star? Teenage Fanclub? Pop with guitars? If so, you need to own BBB's debut disc, Houses and Homes, out late September. Taut, snap-tight songwriting, glistening sonics and pithy, intelligent lyrics - this is the indie guitar pop album to fill your fall.

The band hits the road for a mini-tour of California next week. Dates include:

Aug 5, The Mint, Los Angeles
Aug 6, Muddy Waters Cafe, Santa Barbara
Aug 8, Beachcomber Tavern, Oxnard
Aug 9, Mai's Cafe, Ventura
Aug 15, The Starry Plough, Berkeley

Also, keep your eyes peeled for a free Bye Bye Blackbirds digital EP, Apology Accepted, featuring the band's cover of the titular Go-Betweens song.

Welcome to the fold, gents!
