Georgie James Calls It A Day

It's with great sadness that we pass along this official statement: *After 3 years, Georgie James is calling it a day. We're proud of the album we made and everything else that we were able to do during our time together. We are both working on our respective solo projects and hope to have albums out early next year. Thanks to everyone that helped our band over these past few years. Thanks to those who've listened to the music & come out to the shows. It's greatly appreciated. See you around soon.* Read my review of Georgie James @ SXSW 2008 here.

Georgie James @ SXSW: Looks Like A Perfect Day

In the late afternoon/early evening of Day 2, I caught two enlightening (although completely different) sets at Austin's famed venue, Emo's. At 4:30, Los Campesinos! transfixed the capacity crowd with punk-inspired passion and at 5:20, Georgie James serenaded attendees with a handful of sweet lullabies. The DC-based act has been on my radar for quite some time, but up until last week, I failed miserably at catching the band's live show. Thankfully, it was everything I had hoped for it to be: melodious, tender & beatific! Visit Georgie James on MySpace. Photo courtesy of Miss Katie Kramer.

Georgie James (ex-Q & Not U) Signs To Saddle Creek

Via CMJ: *Saddle Creek has signed DC duo Georgie James and will be releasing their debut album, Places, this September.

Neither member is new to the business—John Davis formerly fronted the successful indie group Q And Not U, while Laura Burhenn released four solo albums through her own Laboratory label.

After the two met in 2005, they released a demo CD, Demos at Dance Place, but have since been waiting to find the right home to release their debut. Davis considers it an honor to be signed to Saddle Creek, joining the likes of Bright Eyes and Two Gallants, among others. "I've followed the label since they were known as Lumberjack, over a decade ago, and I'm glad that we'll be working together," he says. "Saddle Creek is one of those labels that you can trust, both artistically and ethically, and we feel fortunate to get to team up with them." The duo plans to tour both in the US and overseas this fall following the release of Places, although no dates have been set.*
