Please check their website
for more info. They've also posted a couple of rough demos that are likely

SATELLITE
RADIO, ANYONE?
Out of
curiosity, if you are a satellite radio subscriber, please email me and let
me know. I'm interested in finding out what percentage of people are now tuned
in to satellite radio. I learned last week that 13
Faces is the # 2 most requested band in the country on the liquid
metal station. Since it's been a year since that CD has been released, I'm
obviously curious as to how they've sustained such longevity through satellite
radio. Not to mention that nearly half of 13 Faces' online sales mention satellite
radio in the comments line. So get back to me. Fill
me in.

WINNER
We have a winner!!!
Jason Barney, of Brooklyn, NY is the winner of the Bandaloop Records
trivia contest and proud owner of a new Bandaloop Records T-shirt. The
Question: Where did we come up with the name Bandaloop? The Answer:
"I just got finished reading "Jitterbug Perfume" by Tom Robbins (my fav
author) and i'm also a huge fan of Go Robot Go...here i am on your site and
i see the question, where did you get your name? So, i had to write in...i'm
assuming it's from the book, right?" Yes! We based the name of our label
from characters in the novel Jitterbug Perfume from our favorite
author, Tom Robbins. If you have never read the book you really should!
