If you haven’t seen it yet, or saw it and couldn’t believe it, our song La Ti Da (Arrivals & Departures) is being used in the new Target ads that started airing on Sunday. We haven’t been able to find it online yet to link to, but you can download an mp3 of the whole song on our listen page. We have also been adding more dates to our fall UK tour, which can now officially be renamed a European tour since we will be starting everything off in Scandinavia before our UK shows.
Well, well, well, at long last we've launched our new website. For those of you who are not yet familiar with us, we are the Icicles, an indiepop band based out of Grand Rapids, MI. You can listen to some of our music as well as peek into our tour life with Rebecca's fantastic tour doodles. Since the site you're now viewing is a fully functioning blog be sure to check back often for updated news, tour dates, music and more. Or better yet, subscribe to our RSS feed and we'll bring it all to you! But wait, that's not all! Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook. Happy viewing!
Ripley here we come
We’ve been busy in Icicle-land getting a few things lined up for this fall. We’re still working on a lot of stuff, but what we can share right now is we are heading to the UK this fall and the show that started it all will be Indietracks on Dec 1st, at the Midland Railway, Butterley station! Tickets went on sale this week and you can get them from the indietracks website. As long as we’ll be out of the country, we’re hoping to line up a few more shows over the course of a few weeks so we’re definitely not done announcing our fall shows!!!
Live video recordings
We’ve had a few videos surface over the last few months on YouTube of us from past shows that we’ve posted on our listen page. Thanks to Magnus from Dyrdin, Punkcast and BSR Live for recording them!
Arrivals & Departures released
Well, our cd release has finally come and we are so excited for everyone to hear what we’ve been working on! The album, Arrivals & Departures is available on our buy page and if you order before we leave for tour on the 22nd we’ll get it in the mail asap! Don’t forget to checkout our tour dates and make plans to come to a show and say hi if we’re in your area.
Music from the Icicles featured on Motorola commercial
Our song Sugar Sweet (A Hundred Patterns) is being featured on a Motorola commercial for the new KRZR phone. It will be airing internationally and will even be used as a ringtone on some of the phones!
