04.11.07 -- KINGS OF LEON, STREETLIGHT RECORDS
Howdy Y'all,
Congrats to the Kings of Leon for a huge debut today. We did our share giving the band their second Number One at CIMS. Can't wait to hit as many tour dates as possible!
Thanks to the kind folks at EMM who heard my appeal and sent us some LCD Soundsystem promos. Now folks get in my car and say things like "that is weird" and openly wonder what I get into late at night. It is GREAT!
Last, but certainly not least, we would like to welcome Streetlight Records into the CIMS fold. After several visits with Jeff, Paige and the other good folks at Streetlight, we decided to invite them into our family. Streetlight has four stores in the San Francisco Bay area. Two of these stores, the larger Santa Cruz and San Jose locations are joining our programs starting June 1st. The two smaller stores up in San Francisco are fairly niche and the Streetlight guys decided they would not work well with the wide ranging list of titles that CIMS books into programs. So, for those of you counting, that is 61 storefronts in CIMS.
For your email lists, the CIMS contacts at Streetlight are:
Jeff Moss - jeff@streetlightrecords.com
Paige Brodsky - paige@streetlightrecords.com
Thanks to RED for first bringing them to our attention. Thanks to the rest of you west coast industry types for giving us the thumbs up.
