25-06-2009 Ponoka
For the new edition of the CoverClub, Ponoka rcorded a version of their favourite guilty pleasure, Kylie Minogue’s ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’. If you think that’s appalling, wait till you hear some of the other titles. We’re proud that Ponoka is part of this edition, wich includes great Dutch artists like Anne Soldaat, Solo, and Pien Feith. As a bonus, Ponoka recorded a special video in which they dressed up like Kylie and her dancers (Rick had fun wearing that suit – we think he looks pretty convincing). Play, download, and share here.

While the boys are about to hit the road this summer, VOLKOREN signed a good deal with U&L Records in the USA (Marching Band etc.) and man! They are pushing the Anderson boys like hell (or heaven :-). They just got the best commercial radio company in the USA to promote 'it runs it in the family' and an exclusive digital pre-release EP already hit the charts at one of the leading indie download sites AMIESTREET (it reached number 6 in their download charts)!
This summer the boys will be flying all over the world again (Japan, USA, Europe), check out anderson's impressive list of tourdates on their myspace.

The members of BFS enjoy it a lot when you sing along during their concerts. In fact, they enjoy it so much that they decided to arrange some exclusive sing along-concerts! Can you sing or play, and do you want to join BFS on stage, pay close attention...
There are two rules:
1. You can't be a really bad singer or a terrible musician (if you are and try to join in anyway, BFS will punish you terribly).
2. You have to sell at least 4 tickets yourself.
Sounds like fun? Then send an email to: info_at_brownfeathersparrow.com

due to the recordings ponoka won't be playing too many shows the coming months, but some are coming up this summer. stay tuned.
