Jenny Hoyston’s Paradise Island, featuring Jenny Hoyston (pictured center)-lead singer/guitarist/trumpeter for the all female punk act Erase Errata, is hitting the road sans band…wanna see tour dates?
Ya ever hear something that sounds so refreshing yet familiar at the same time? Familiar in a comfortable-nostalgic type of way? Familiar in a ‘take me back to that day’ way? Even if you don’t, Now, Now by St. Vincent is one of the best first-time listens I’ve heard in a long long time , and when you listen to music for a living, it’s quite a nice break away from the predictable.
Long story short: St. Vincent’s debut album Marry Me is out now, featuring single ‘Now, Now,’ and you can listen to tracks right on her website to see what we’re talking about. And we can now rest at last, I’ve finally heard the freshest new voice of 2007. We love you St. Vincent!

With their new album out, “Under The Blacklight”, that only means a new video. Money Maker, the first single from UTB, features Jenny in a whole new way: shaking her bare shoulders to the bass beat of Money Maker with three porn stars. Sounds odd, but it’s done tastefully and keeps you looking the whole time.
