!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LITTLE BLACK DRESS IS NOW SIGNED TO EXPLODING PLASTIC/IDOL RECORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Formed in 2005, Little Black Dress is the brainchild of veteran Dallas musicians Toby Pipes and Nolan Thies. The two have collaborated on the writing, engineering and producing of all the cuts that will appear on their upcoming debut album in 2009. Their unique sound might remind you of a deep-cut track from one of your favorite 4 A.D. compilations with influences spanning decades of innovative music - from synth driven sounds of Cabaret Voltaire, to the droning but noisy guitars and under-stated vocals of My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain, to the layered melodic swirling of the Cocteau Twins. Along with Toby (vocals, guitars) and Nolan (vocals, bass), Little Black Dress is backed by Brent Elrod (guitars), Earl Darling (drums), Cooper Heffley (electric drums/keys) and Taylor Tatsch (guitars).The first full length album is due for early 2009. please stay tuned......

you guys were really great on friday! I was sitting on the floor wondering what the hell was going on because I didn't know the name of your band, then I asked the merch girl. :)
