Finger Eleven’s “Paralyzer†has been a huge hit for the band. The track hit the top of the charts at Rock and Alternative, went on to reach the top five on the pop charts, and remains there at the HAC format. The band will return to the road in early March, once singer Scott Anderson has a full recovery from his recently diagnosed Mono. The February appearances have been postponed and the rescheduled dates are listed below…
Over the last couple of weeks, “Paralyzer†has been certified as a gold ring tone for sales of 500K, and platinum as a single based on downloads of 1,000,000. To date, the track has been downloaded 1.7 million times, making it the 33rd best selling single of all time at iTunes. At the Juno Awards announcement yesterday morning, the band received nominations for Group of the Year, Single of the Year and Rock Album of the Year. Finger Eleven will be performing at the ceremony.
Seether’s “Fake It†has become the biggest rock hit of the band’s career spending six weeks at number one on the alternative chart, and an astonishing thirteen weeks in that position on the Active Rock charts. The band will continue to appear in arenas through March with Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin, following which they’ll hit the road as a headliner. More news on that front coming shortly…

Megan McCauley will begin a residency at Arlene’s Grocery here in NYC which runs for five consecutive Tuesdays beginning on 2/26. A flyer will be sent in the next week or two to those of you based locally. I hope many of you will make it out to see her perform with the band.
On the signing front, the label has been busy with four new acts now a part of the family: San Francisco’s Thriving Ivory, L.A.’s Endless Hallway, Fort Collins, CO’s Tickle Me Pink and Brooklyn’s The Rideaways. The repertoire is showing far more diversity than it ever has in the past…
