THE HANKS are in the mixing phase of their second album with Lior Goldenberg (Sheryl Crow,
Rancid, Ringo Starr, Oliver Future, Juliana Hatfield, The Ringers). 63-date tour is in the works to support it. Getting their van converted so no more astronomical gas headaches - $25,000 on gas in 2007! Who does that!!!
Lior Goldenberg got back from Israel after recording Itzhak Klepter's album. He is now finishing THE HANKS record. He will next be working with Levi Smith (Ryan Adams, John Mayer but mostly HIMSELF), an amazing artist out of Lubbock, Texas. He will then be working on mixing a few international projects before heading out to SxSW!
The Forward are in the mixing phase of their debut album produced by Ethan Allen (The 88, Gram Rabbit, Kevin Griffin of Better Than Ezra). Mark Needham (The Killers, My Chemical Romance, Hot Hot Heat) is mixing. They are on the road for the first 25 - 30 dates with The Hanks.
ATN Management's showcase in Austin, Texas - March 12th - 16th is shaping up nicely. 68 slots to fill with amazing, sometimes never-before-in-Austin-heard artists!!! Lots to look forward to. MTV and Music Saves Lives are among the initial sponsors.

ATN headed to SxSW this year with a showcase and both acts slated to perform. THE HANKS headed off after their first showcase to join Single File in Denver, Co. to play two nights of sold out crowds. The Forward killed it 3 different showcases during SxSW, while passing out samplers they attracted a lot of attention which will prove to be a great starting point for getting their debut album out!
ATN’s showcase this year was a huge success. Talked about as having the best sound at Sx, The Troubadour Saloon was full of kids everyday/night that ATN and Captiva Records had their showcase. So successful were the Captiva Showcase days, next year is already booked for all 4 days from 1pm – 2am. This will allow us to book a larger number of bands and run our contest again to find some amazing new talent to grace Austin during SxSW.
THE HANKS were interviewed by STIMTv and that is up on their web site now!!!
