Only 2 weeks until the release of Where We Are by Mackintosh Braun! Reserve your copy today by Pre-Ordering on iTunes.
Speaking of iTunes, have you guys signed up on Ping yet? If so, you might have noticed Alex’s profile featured on the front page as one of the people you should follow. Pretty cool right? Well you can now follow Mackintosh Braun on Ping too.
Check out the brand spanking new MackintoshBraun.com!! There are still some tweaks and changes to be made, but we wanted to give you a sneak peak at the near finished project.
What do you guys think of the new design?
Everyone pull out your planner, palm pilot, iPhone, or sticky note and copy this down:
‘Mackintosh Braun – “Where We Are” out September 21st’
That’s right folks…Mackintosh Braun’s new album is just around the corner! The guys have been working hard on it and it sounds (literally) out of this world. You can check out a couple of the new tracks on their MySpace and while you are at it, add them on Facebook and Twitter too!
Mackintosh Braun – “Could It Be”
Looks like it has been awhile since we had a Song Of The Day on here. Well don’t worry because we are making our return with a selection from the one and only, Ms. Alexandra Patsavas! This is an exclusive preview from Mackintosh Braun’s upcoming album Where We Are, which will be released later this year on Chop Shop Records.
Listen to “Could It Be” on Mackintosh Braun’s MySpace Page now!
Enjoy!
It was about this time last week that the Chop Shop crew was embarking on the adventure that was SXSW 2010. Now we are back to reality, working hard to make up for all the lost time spent partying in Austin. While we were there, we had a showcase and party (if you follow this blog, you might have heard about it). Both went off without a hitch, and were a big success. It got a little cold on the last day but a little weather wasn’t going to bring us down.

Thanks to everyone that came out the shows, to the folks that helped make it happen, and to all the bands for being a part of the Chop Shop 2010 SXSW experience. Can’t wait until next year!

This year, we have some truly amazing stuff planned. We will be featuring some of the new additions to the Chop Shop label as well as a handful of artists that we are super excited to have as a part of our events. If you are going to be at SXSW, we’d love to see you!

Last week, MTV took the word “music” out of it’s logo. It’s kind of sad but let’s be honest, it’s about time. The title, “Music Television” has got to be hard to maintain when there is no music. It’s sort of like calling a basketball team in Los Angeles the Lakers…it just doesn’t make sense.
What does make sense, is that in promoting their 2010 line-up of programming, MTV features the Mackintosh Braun song “I Won’t Fall”. We think that is a great choice.
Here it is…Enjoy!
