DeVotchKa have announced a handful of summer performances that will happen around the recording of the band's first full length in three years.

The Old 97's debut in 1994 and its acclaimed follow-up a year later on Bloodshot Records established Rhett Miller, Murry Hammond, Ken Bethea and Philip Peeples as indie-rock's favorite cowpunks. After signing with Elektra in 1997, the Dallas quartet recorded a trio of artistically restless albums that found Miller refining his emotional lyricism and the band tightly coiling around power pop arrangements.

Hollywood Records has announced a May 9th digital release for Scrubs, the companion album to the hit NBC comedy. The soundtrack will be available exclusively through iTunes, where it will be featured on the site's TV Show section - a first for the mega-popular music online destination.

Verve Forecast is proud to announce the release of Rhett Miller's second solo album, The Believer, due in stores on February 28th 2006. A follow-up to the highly acclaimed The Instigator, the new record is brimming with, as Blender said, "knock "em dead songs."

Verve Forecast is proud to make its South By Southwest party debut with a showcase on Friday, March 17, 2006. Taking the stage at Eternal (418 East 6th Street) will be Verve Forecast recording artists Brazilian Girls, Jamie Cullum, Jackie Greene, Rhett Miller, Susan Tedeschi and Teddy Thompson. The lineup demonstrates the wealth of talent and diversity on this eclectic label.
