Oh and Jeanie got a shout-out from Saints

Oh my. Did I not tell you how very much I LOVE Saints? Well, words on paper paid off about mid-month when I received a shout-out via the Saints fan list:

"It's the middle of September and in Denver it's raining like it was Glasgow in July. What's going on? Since the last time of writing, we have had some lovely press by some lovely people and it feels nice to be recognized by music types. You can see some clippings at the bottom of this page. Thanks to Jeanie Straub in particular ... holy shit!!"

[Note: It isn't lost on me that they might actually be making fun of me because all the other music writers knew a lot more about Brit pop than I did. I just loved the music. I didn't even know it was Brit pop.]

More news from Saints via fan list:

"We will be out playing in November for sure, so we will definitely let you all know when and where as soon as we know."

BTW you can follow Saints on Twitter at saintstheband -- on myspace they're at http://www.myspace.com/saintstheband.

PRESS CLIPPINGS

"'Colorado,' a tribute to the Gaults' adopted home whose sincerity more than compensates for its sentimentality. While Saints' success at striking this balance comes across as extremely natural, it's tougher than it seems. After all, if it were simple, everyone could do it." Michael Roberts, Westword

"This EP should be all over KTCL and the rest of the world, what with the outstanding guitar riffs and Rob Gault’s fabulous voice, the obvious talent pooled instrumentally in regards to composition and melody, coupled with rare polish and true originality." Jeanie Straub, Colorado Music Buzz

"(Saints) is currently working its way into the scene from the outer reaches. The strength of Saints' vibrant, earnest Brit pop should ensure that it's a short trip." Dave Hererra, Westword
