Will they do American press? Should do Sirius....

#1 Post by VinnyM27 »

I really hope so! It will definately help the album because I have an idea that Rhino's publicity for the album will be the same as the title of their next single...."Minimal".

It would be great if did an interview or even several appearances on Sirius. Howard Stern would be great might not be interested (the only time I've ever heard him mention them was when he was playing clips from Liza's "Results" and goofing on her....he also implied that they were gay and this was possibly before Neil came out). There is a dance channel (The Beat) that would probably play "Minimal" as well as I'm with stupid but the classic altnerative station (1st Wave) plays some of their past hits (they play "Love Comes Quickly" quite a bit) as well as Electronic. And unlike XM, they have a gay news/enteratmaint station that is always interviewing gay and gay friendly celebs. I never listen to OutQ, but would gladly listen their interview. Hopefully they will do some press here and Sirius is a great place to get to tap people who love good entertainment and are willing to pay for it!

man them doing howard would be awesome. but you know,when he has guests on he really doesnt care about, he treats them pretty bad.
I wish they could get a rolling stone cover.or at least a good review in it, they usually have been very kind to their CD's.

they also need to get on more late night talk shows or saturday night live.I mean they put just about anyone on nowadays.

It also would be great if they did another tower CD signing.I would definetly be there.

Yeah, if PSB play along on Howard, he would like them and invite them back but I don't think they are on the same level. I doubt Chris would like him at all. PSB would be a hard sell to Howard, who likes classic rock and stuff like Collective Soul and Live with the occassional pop (Pink's "...Party") and hip hop (Mystical's "Shake It Fast") number slipping into his musical interests. Then again, they worked with Liza, Madonna...that's probably all he might care about. The other stations, though, would probably love having PSB on!

And SNL? I don't know what their deal is but they seem to put on very current artists who haven't proved themselves at all like Artic Monkeys (despite the huge press, they are not setting America on fire). PSB won't be doing the show anytime soon...If SNL hasn't gone on break yet, they will soon. Also, they seem to be airing far less shows every season, so while PSB would make a great live performers, I doubt they would consider it since they have so few slots open and probably bigger labels to try and please.
