   About Household Names
MySpace Codes
Household Names have delivered some mighty fine pop tunes via two stellar full-lengths and a 4-song EP since forming in Austin nearly a decade ago. KUT 90.5 FM’s Austin Music Minute highlighted the band in March during their SXSW 2008 edition, and beyond Austin, the Household Names have garnered much national attention over the years. Their 2002 debut record The Trouble With Being Nice reached 67 on CMJ’s Radio 200 Chart and was featured on Hewlett-Packard's Experience Music Project mobile tour in 2002. Household Names’ expert power-pop sensibility and their penchant for delivering catchy riffs and melodious hooks also grabbed the attention of MTV -- “Bright Spot” off the record was made available for download on MTV.com, and more recently, "The Latest Success" and "Handle On" off 2006’s "Picture In My Head" were featured on the MTV shows "Cribs" and "Bromance". In addition, "Only One” from that record was utilized by CNBC’s "American Made" show and the ABC series "What About Brian?" The band are currently working on a new record for summer 2009.

You're invited! Come have a beer with us! Friday, May 22nd! @ Flamingo Cantina on 6th Doors @ 9pm We're playin with Ryan Scroggins & The Trenchtown Texans and Informant (Dallas). We're celebrating the release of our new album "Pose & Posture" Go here to see a review: http://amusicfan.blogspot.com "These guys have the chops to hang with the heavy hitters in US ska scene but also have a fresh and accessible enough sound to cross over to new listeners..." or here: www.phillyska.com (scroll down) "It is something a little different, yet also familiar. In short time the album rose to become one of my favorite releases so far this year with a secure position on my playlist..." or here: http://www.musicaloccupation.com/ "If there’s one album that stands out as different this year, it’s Channel One’s Pose & Posture..." thanks!

Hi!

Our new single released today! "A Pyrrhic Victory" - available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and also available in our player here on MySpace of course... it will only be released digitally and we'll add it in our player too of course.

The only lucky 50 ones in posession of a physical copy are the 50 first who showed up for our little release party where Dregen from Backyard Babies was DJ on the 16:th last month.

Stay rock!
