FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 10.20.09

Archie Powell & The Exports are a young group of midwestern miscreants looking to remind human beings what makes it all good and delicious. Offering a classic pop sensibility delivered with a stiff dose of feedback, the band's songs give off the impression of what it might have sounded like if Nirvana did a lot of Tom Petty Covers, or how Creedence Clearwater Revival could have ended up if John Fogerty wore glasses. Reviewers have their own ideas, making claims along the lines of them being much like "the better parts of Weezer and Bishop Allen" (The Project Lodge). Their debut effort, the "Loose Change EP", was released to the public as a free download and has been described as "loose, raw, and downright fun" (Bill's Music Forum) in addition to being "more than plain ole' rock and roll, it's a mini party in a 5-song EP" (Powerpopaholic). Catch Archie Powell & The Exports live before they enter the studio to record their full length follow-up this Winter.

Support will be from Sarah Katheryn, a Chicago based piano songstress personified best by her long red hair and full-bodied vocals. Jazzy horn licks and soulful melodies form Katheryn's sound that is equal parts Fiona Apple as it is Nina Simone.
