After hitting Portland's MusicFestNW over the weekend, our favorite guitar pop lady team Looker keeps the West Coast rock train rolling this Thursday with a show at LA's famed Viper Room.
And Looker fans you're in luck because the wait is almost over for their new album, which they've titled Born in the Desert and is the follow-up to 2007's self released Born Too Late. The new record unveils the irresistible fruits of a year's hard labor. Looker released 3 infectious two-song singles throughout the past twelve months and collect them all here, along with five more tunes, all produced by Erik Paparazzi and all guaranteed to give you what you need.

The third album from The Two Man Gentlemen Band is called Heavy Petting and it is set for release on Feb 12, 2008. Pre-order here. Album details here.</a> DOWNLOAD: "Wiliam Howard Taft" [MP3] from (SBR18)</a> 
In other Gentlemen news We seemed to have missed this write up of their set at Pianos during the SBR CMJ Showcase on 10/16/07. Thanks to Pop Matters for the kind words. "I don’t know what it is about banjos, kazoos, and pork-pie hats that makes the kids go crazy, but it’s clear that I’ve seen the future of musical comedy. With an upright bass player, a banjo, a small drum set, and various novelty bells and whistles, retro-Vaudeville pickers the Two Man Gentlemen Band got a jaded crowd of New York industry folk to clap, stomp, and shout out prime numbers (the last for their charming love song “Square Root of Two”). By the time they got around to a sing-along about William Howard Taft (“the last president to wear facial hair”), I was smitten—these zinger-happy, fast-talking folkies are gentlemen indeed.
