6th Street Live Tonight at Kenny's Castaways

Image
Los Angeles based electro-pop duo 6th Street will be performing LIVE tonight at Kenny's Castaways. There is no cover and the show starts at 8pm. Kenny's Castaways , a piece of New York rock & roll history and well known as the place where Bruce Springsteen played his first NYC show, is located at 157 Bleecker Street. If you can't catch them tonight, you'll have another chance. 6th Street will be performing again on Saturday night at Arlene's Grocery . The show starts at 8pm and there is a $10 cover at the door. Arlene's Grocery is located at 95 Stanton Street. 6th Street, a duo who have known each other since childhood, were recently showcased at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas. Their sound is most often compared to Owl City and Postal Service with hints of Matt Nathanson and they offer both catchy melodies and moving ballads.

AMP3 PR Adds 6th Street to Their Roster

AMP3 Public Relations has recently added 6th Street to their growing music pr roster. 6th Street, a Los Angeles based group, is made up of band members Grant Cook and Mike Miller. Just back from a 2 night appearance performing at Bob Woody’s Shakespeare’s on Sixth Street at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX, it was much like a home coming for the University of Texas graduates. The local crowd was delighted to hear a set list that included new EP material like " Try and Stop Love ", a song with a young electronica pop vibe, and the soulful " Angels Falling ." A recent blog post described their sound this way, "So let's say if The Postal Service and Owl City consumated and had a baby with Chris Martin's voice, then they made the baby eat violins for breakfast and it only spoke in lyrics in the caliber of say, John Mayer, then that is what 6th Street would sound like." I don't know about you, but I love The Postal Service and Owl City.

Tigers Top 6....Biggest PR Blunders

If there has been one hot topic in crisis communications of late, it's golfer Tiger Woods. Now there's no need to rehash the aspects of what got Tiger into his predicament, but there has been a lot of water cooler talk regarding how his PR team handled the fallout from the very start. Public Relations Society of America's most recent post came yesterday with an excerpt from a Newsweek article by Matthew Phillips. The article discussed Tiger's press conference this past Monday at Augusta National for his first major appearance at the 2010 Masters. PRSA called the press conference his best attempt yet at damage control and then went on to state what Phillips considers Tigers 6 biggest mistakes over the last few months. 1. Deafening silence - The first rule in any crisis is to get out in front of the story early, but for four months, Tiger was mute — and the longer he went without speaking, the more people wanted to know why. Surely, not all of the gossip is true,
