No, relax, it's not Johnny Gumbo and the Pool Hall Studs, it's the Strange Boys from way down there in Austin, about to release their new album, Be Brave, on February 22. Vin, Keith and The Rick just couldn't get enough of The Boys and Girls Club last June on our annual Cape golf extravaganza, so I know they can't wait for the new stuff. Cafe Nine, are you on this?(From Wikipedia, so it must be true)- In late 2009 the band underwent some line-up changes, with drummer and founding member Matt Hammer being replaced by Seth Densham, originally of Mika Miko (who disbanded in October, 2009). Jenna Thornhill-DeWitt, also a former member of Mika Miko, was added as saxophonist and backing vocalist, and Tim Presley, of Darker My Love, also joined to contribute backing vocals.
Around the same time, the newly outfitted line-up of the Strange Boys signed a deal with UK record label, Rough Trade, to distribute their material outside of the US, as well as announcing details of their sophomore release, Be Brave, which is due on February 22, 2010 (UK) and February 23, 2010 (US) and preceded by a single release of the title track, 'Be Brave', on January 25 (UK) and January 26 (US). The group also announced details of a brief supporting slot throughout November with Julian Casablancas of The Strokes for some of his solo US tour dates.
