Vancougar CD "Losin' It!" out now on Scratch

[Megan]

VANCOUGAR - Losin' It!
Out TODAY (May 30) on Scratch Records - SCRATCH#53 CD only - $11.99 USD



We're an all-girl pop group from Vancouver, BC and this is our first record. If you like catchy pop a la Blondie & Elvis Costello, with a bit of '60s girl group influence thrown in, maybe you'll be into it.

Listen here: www.myspace.com/vancougar

from Rich's TB review of our song on a comp that came out last year:
"These girls would fittingly be the Pavel Bure/Alex Mogilny-era Canucks, a team that was a lot of fun to watch, and were, well, a little bit girlie. But who needs a killer instinct when their tune, "Mine First", is as sweet as the Russian Rocket going top shelf on an end-to-end breakaway? The pleasant sounding and not-overpowering keyboards blend nicely with a really crisp drum sound, and the song has a Nikki Corvette-meets-Devo sorta catchiness. The fact these gals actually sing/harmonize as well gives them a winning hat-trick! Score! Someone give me an octopus to throw!"

Available through Scratch Records and also apparently through Revolver USA, although I don't see it listed there yet.

Or you could get it from iTunes if that's your thing, but you'll miss out on the nice packaging.

Will you mail me an autographed copy?

[Megan]

Mitch, you and Rich were both on the list I gave to the label for US promo copies (which went out this week, I think... but let me know if you don't get one soon and I'll harass him about it), but you'll have to wait until our paths cross again for the autograph.

[Richie]

I'm excited to get this. For real.

[Mark Pesci]

Megan - get Scratch to send one out to Equalizing Distort so we can play it on the radio and review it.

www.myspace.com/equalizingdistort has the mailing address

Is Simon still doing a single?

[goneoffdatlean]

Hit me up with a promo for Now Wave.  I'm tired of getting all kinds of shitty crap in the mail.

[Megan]

hey Troy, what's the address?

and Mark, the station should have a copy by now, but I will ask Keith about a programmer copy (although we're not hardcore!!!). I have no idea about the single.

[Mitch]

When is Vancouger going to be on the Fuse network?  Isn't it a law that they must program 75% Canadian bands?  They should be getting to you guys soon...right?  Please call me if you are on that metal show with that always half-naked hessian girl.

[Megan]

I have no idea what you're talking about. I think CanCon policy states that 40% of all music programming has to be Canadian, but I've never heard of the Fuse network. I haven't had cable in years, though.

[Mitch]

Fuse is like MTV, only worse.  It's great. 

OH!  The metal girl's name is Juliya.

[MattCoppens]

 Send one to me. I've smashed all the other shit bands have sent me that I don't like. My burning pile in the corner is nonexistant right about now.

[Megan]

I was waiting for you to pipe up, Coppens!

[MattCoppens]

 Megan, on a somewhat unrelated note: I actually have a burning corner. PS You're a rad chick. I'm drunk. Only public compliment anybody will get outta me ever. PS AGAIN I'm now convinced ALL WOMEN are completely evil.

We just got this in at CJLO a week ago.  Haven't listened to the rest of it yet, but the first track ("Mine First") rocks pretty hard.  My co-host agrees (too bad they gave HIM the extra copy you sent and not me).

FUSE is what used to be called Much Music USA.  Its the same shit as Much Music, but with slightly more american content (which means that one out of every three or four songs is still probably Canadian).  You folks should hit up VideoFACT for a video if you haven't already.

[Megan]

For what it's worth, this CD will be "officially" released in the USA as of next Tues. March 27, according to the label. I don't even know what that means.

If you work at a US college radio station, keep an eye open, because I think they sent a bunch out last month. Mitch, did you ever get a CD? Word is that it got reviewed in MRR this month but I still haven't seen the review, so I dunno if you wrote it or not.
