Welcome Home, Darlings!

My favorite darlings of the band Oh Darling have been busy lately. After leaving Portland for the sunny skies of Los Angeles, the band has been hard at work on new tunes to follow last year's most excellent album Nice Nice.

If you are a regular viewer of Dancing With The Stars or CSI: Miami, you may have heard some of the new music and not even realized it. "Colorful Day" is featured in a new Volkswagon commercial which aired during the previously mentioned shows a couple of weeks ago. If you haven't seen it yet, or are a Tivo junkie and forward right through all the commercials, here it is for your listening pleasure. Had the clip featured Jasmine's vocals as well, I may have been tempted to head out and purchase a VW right then and there.

I haven't seen the Darlings since they moved south at the beginning of the year, so I am very excited that they are heading out on tour this month, including a stop at Portland's own Doug Fir Lounge on April 26th. I'm very stoked to see my friends and hear all of the new music they are working on. Their west coast tour dates are as follows and I can't recommend enough checking them out if you can do so.

April 22: San Jose State University

April 23: Spaceland - Los Angeles, CA.

April 25: The Brown Lantern - Anacortes, WA.

April 26: The Doug Fir - Portland, OR.

April 28: Sonoma State University

April 30: Old Ironsides - Sacramento, CA.

May 1: Fresno State University

Finally, if you haven't yet checked out Oh Darling's debut album Nice Nice, now you can and it won't cost you a cent. For the month of April, you can head to the band's blog at ohdarlingmusic.com/blog and download the album in it's entirety for no charge. Score!
