When it comes to bands getting good news, Cobalt & the Hired Guns, must be king! A few weeks ago, the band opened for Dashboard Confessional in Durham, North Carolina, and I’m sure it was quite an experience!
“The Dashboard show last week went FANTASTICALLY – it was a great experience and we’ve had an incredible response from new fans down there. ”
The band’s most recent album was recorded with producer/engineer Brian Humphrey (State Radio, The Hives, Stephen Kellogg) and shows amazing potential. Earlier this month, they were selected as one of the top 10 Chicago bands by Metromix/Tribune Rock-N-Vote 2009! This multi-round contest is still underway; we hope too see Cobalt & the Hired Guns make it to the finals and beyond!
In May of 2008 Cobalt & the Hired Guns won the Grand Prize on OurStage and it’s great to see their success continue elsewhere; since, as we say, the best music will rise to the top! Look forward to an announcement from the band tomorrow on the state of the contest, we wish them the best of luck!!
