Not only have My Device just returned fizzing from their second US tour (up and down the East Coast) but Anton Barbeau has just been listed in Spin Magazine's The 100 Greatest Bands You've (probably) Never Heard feature - "More than two decades after pop-savvy acid-eaters like John Lennon and Syd Barrett cracked the cosmic egg, this Sacramento songwriter slithered forth with a pure distillation of lyrical jabberwocky, brain-burrowiing melody and mystical psych-guitar fuzz." We'll buy that for a dollar.
Moreover The Race's "In My Head It Works" has been picking up crucial airplay on KEXP, KROQ and KCRW. Maybe we'll have to open that US office one day, after all.
