It's been exactly one week since our season 1 wrap-up, two since the season finale Savoir Adore's MERP and many more since you first got introduced to Music Videos by Jack, show creator. Many of the bands we've worked with (ok, ALL of the bands) have done quite a lot so here's a handy guide to what they're up to, what you can look forward to and how to keep tabs on these Music Video alumni.

 

La Strada- These guys have since debuted their first release, a self-titled EP, which you can purchase on iTunes. They are currently touring around the New England area so check if they are playing near you on thir MySpace page. For more immediate daily gratification, follow them on Twitter. They were one of The L Mag’s 8 NYC Bands You Need To Hear: 2008.

 

Via Audio- They played many a show at this years SXSW and it was documented by video. They've got a line of tour dates with Ha Ha Tonka this June and are reportedly working on new material for another album. They are on twitter.

 

Plushgun- Plushgun had a successful European tour and released their second full length, Pins & Panzers, which you can buy on iTunes. They also hosted a show on MTV’s Subterranean and have a whole long list of tour dates for this summer all over the US. They may be playing by you! The blog, Generation Plush, is a pretty good place to hear about more comings and goings of the band. Again with the Twitter, by main dude Dan Ingala.

 

Jeffey Lewis- This one man singing and drawing machine released the album “Em Are I” (on Amazon), and is now touring the east coast. Mr. Lewis also debuted a video blog for The Guardian and Magnet Magazine called Jeffrey Lewis and the News.

 

Franklin for Short- Since their music video, they plan on releasing 200 limited Lightning/Thunder 7" records this summer. For the latest scoop, these guys have a blog that they update regularly. And are on twitter.

 

Frances- They are currently finishing up their new album and posted sneak peak videos of the process.You can get their last album, All the While, on iTunes. They are playing a free show at Roosevelt Live on June 20th.

 

Lowry- As you might've read many times on this blog, Lowry headlined the 1st night of The Deli’s Best of NYC Festival at South Paw. They are also working on their next album, set to be released January 2010 and have a Charleston, South Carolina 8 night residency coming up in late July. Check their blog for all the latest happenings.

 

Project Jenny, Project Jan- Approximately the same time their insane-o Music Video debuted, PJPJ also released their collaborative The Colors EP, which you can buy on their website. They will be performing at Ireland's Castle Palooza this August with a few other tour dates. 

 

Mixel Pixel- They have been touring a lot but still have a few east coast and Canada tour dates coming up including a night at Le Poisson Rouge with the legendary They Might Be Giants.

 

Neil Halstead- He'll be playing the Gold Coast festival this June and has a bunch of UK tour dates. He did a Daytrotter session and revealed two great new tracks called Creatures of the Road and You Are the Glue.

 

Scream Hello- These guys released a limited edition "Art of the Underground" 7" series. You can follow along with them on their frequently updated blog. 

 

Savoir Adore- This most recent band was picked as The L Mag’s 8 NYC Bands You Need To Hear: 2009. Savoir Adore also released a free Machines EP which you can get here and are performing at the Northside Festival. Band member Paul had a guest spot drumming with Sniper Twins on mtvU. They twitter.
