Cincinnati-Based Moth Is First Release Of New Independent Record Label Hey Domingo! From Music Industry Veteran Todd Sullivan
The Cincinnati-based band Moth (www.myspace.com/moth) will be the first release from Hey Domingo! (www.heydomingo.com) a new independent record label founded by A&R veteran Todd Sullivan. "Immune To Gravity" will be released nationally on March 26th, 2006 and distributed by High Wire Music and Fontana Distribution. Formerly of Geffen Records and Virgin Records, Sullivan scouted and signed commercial and critical darlings Weezer, Sloan, Ted Hawkins, Southern Culture on the Skids and more. "I was fortunate to be able to sign artists such as Weezer, Sloan and Ted Hawkins to labels like Geffen Records and Virgin Records because I believed in their talent as well as their unique appeal to break through to a larger audience," said Todd Sullivan, founder of Hey Domingo! "Moth is a band I previously signed to Virgin Records because I loved their music and when I heard the demos for what eventually became their new CD "Immune To Gravity", I knew it was time put my money where my mouth was and start my own label. The record is absolutely fantastic. " "Immune To Gravity" is Moth's fifth full-length release from founding member and Cincinnati native Brad Stenz,. Full of more hooks than a fisherman's tackle box, the eleven tracks on "Immune" lie somewhere neatly between Weezer, The Cars and XTC. Their major label debut on Virgin Records in 2002, "Provisions, Fiction and Gear," received extremely favorable press in Blender, Guitar World, CMJ, Rolling Stone and a television appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. Live, Moth has shared the stage with bands such as The Offspring, Violent Femmes, Finch and more. In 2005, they won the live act of the year at the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards and were the featured artist on Myspace.com in November. A video for the song "Revolution" directed by Paul Grundy will be serviced to television and online outlets as well. Moth, who pack a powerful live set, have been touring the United States in the later half of 2005 and plan to tour consistently throughout 2006. Upcoming tour dates in the first half of 2006 include East Coast, Mid-Atlantic and Southern regions as well as the SXSW Music Conference leading up to the release of "Immune".
