October 24th, 2007—The 9:30 Club, Washington, D.C. A high-ceilinged, cavernous room, equipped with the relatively small stage, ample floor space, and spacious balcony seating well-suited for the intimate big band shows the 9:30 Club is known for are all part of the setting visible to the plethora of young rock fans awaiting the headliners of the Sleeping with Giants Tour. It’s approximately 9:00, and after enjoying, and inevitably singing and dancing with and moshing to, the four other bands in the diverse lineup offered to fans on this tour (The Rocket Summer, Sherwood, Armor for Sleep, and the recently added Cobra Starship), the audience is restless, some migrating to the close by merch tables and others even daring to venture to the club’s sports bar.

The Rocket Summer have launched a new website. Their latest album, Do You Feel is in stores now.

The Rocket Summer won Yahoo! Music’s Who’s Next award and performed “So Much Love” live and gave an interview. Check it all out here.

July 17th was a day that had long been marked on my calendar. It marked the release date of The Rocket Summer’s junior album – Do You Feel. The joy of my anticipation was killed when my pre-order did not arrive in the mail on the exact release date. I refused to wait another day so I headed over to the store without hesitation to buy what would be my second purchase of the new Rocket Summer record.

I was never a huge fan of The Rocket Summer but I’m really digging Do You Feel. Also be sure to check out the new MxPx and Sound The Alarm albums.

In between “Take Home Chef” segments, I saw (for the 5th-ish time) a commercial for the new TLC series, “Diagnosis X”.

During each preview-commercial, I progressively got more and more into the theme music..

..Looked up who did the background/theme and found this band, the Athlete.

New to me, they’ve opened for U2.

Also, I can never get enough of Hail Social .
