The Little Ones Sign To Astralwerks/Heavenly

FEATURED ARTIST: THE LITTLE ONES official site myspace [MP3] The Little Ones - Cha Cha Cha Now I have never been one to straight up post press releases as they are sent to me, but this one was so great I just had to. The Little Ones sign with Astralwerks and Heavenly Los Angeles five-piece The Little Ones have signed a worldwide deal with Astralwerks. The band will now specifically call Astralwerks home in the Americas and Heavenly Recordings in the UK and Europe. The deal represents the first of it's kind between the two labels. According to Astralwerks GM Errol Kolosine, "Heavenly is one of the world's most consistently quality labels and has been our partner on many great releases over the past 5 years. This signing represents an exciting new way for us to join forces 100% with our shared vision, aesthetic and approach." The Little Ones have quickly established a reputation for their exhuberatnt, unabashedly feel-good pop - the New York Times called it "one of the year's most lovable indie-rock CDs." The band was formed in 2005 by Edward Reyes and Ian Moreno, formerly of Sunday's Best. Reyes recruited his kid brother Brian, along with Lee LaDouceur and Greg Meyer and began rehearsing and writing songs at a rapid pace, resulting in the release of the Sing Song mini-album which the band initally self-released - it will now see a proper release via Astralwerks on October 17, 2006, including a bonus track not on the original release. The band quickly found an audience through online praise and shows in LA, New York, Seattle and San Francisco. This winter they will be recording their debut full-length in LA which should see a mid-2007 release. The band's first national tour is also currently underway, with the French Kicks - remaining dates are listed below, with dates with Gomez in October and then Small Sins in November. The band will tour the UK for the first time in January supporting The Boy Least Likely To.
