The buzz in the music industry this week is Orlando-based Between The Trees.
Deny it or not.
According to reputable industry sources, label reps (including but not limited to Virgin, Columbia, Epic, Roadrunner, Capitol, Atlantic, Jive, Warner Bros., RCA and Island) from coast to coast have their eyes, ears, and blackberrys focused on these guys. In the same week, whoever-they-are's from these labels saw the band perform at their showcase at the Knitting Factory in New York and a Bamboozle Left performance in Pamona, CA.
That's not all the band has going on for themselves. Their release The Story and The Song (via local start-up Bonded Records) have been charting consistently in the Top 3 at Park Ave CDs and has caught the attention of industry retail brainsource Coalition for Independant Music Stores (CIMS). The Top 10 CIMS chart this week posts Between The Trees fourth between The Killers' Sam's Town and Bob Dylan's Modern Times.
As these label reps are in hot pursuit, Between The Trees will have the hometown advantage Monday, October 30th when they perform at the Backbooth.
They're turning into kind of a big deal, let's see if they get to sign one.
How many A&R guys does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
I don't know, you tell me.
