Whew! We just got home from a six-show mini tour of California, spanning San Diego to Sacramento, in support of our newly-released album, LEEF.

 

To hear a few preview tracks (keep in mind that these are nearly, nearly, nearly final mixes), please check out our MySpace page. If you like what you hear, you can order the album by clicking here.

Two other great ways to support us, neither of which will cost you a thing: 1. Join our mailing list -- it's easy, it's private, and soon it will provide access to all kinds of "extras" (rare tracks, videos, games, comics, etc.). 2. Request that we come to your town by using the new "demand it" service:

This is a fantastic way for audiences and artists to work together and streamline the process of touring. Everybody wins!

2007 was simply an amazing year on the road for us. Highlights included an east coast tour, several west coast tours, a tour of the Netherlands, and even a few gigs in Ohio.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who came out and supported us this year, and to the amazing artists who made the music happen. Look for more live IJG in 2008.

Special note: new website

You might have noticed that things look a little different around here -- welcome to the new and improved uglyrug.com / industrialjazzgroup.com (both URLs take you to the same place). We took a simple no javascript, no flash animations, and (thank heavens) no streaming-music-on-page-load approach. We're still fine-tuning some details, of course, but we hope you like what we've got so far.

Many many thanks to Jill and Matt for cranking this thing out.
