CNN + Local Band = Love
A very observant Slog reader named Henri just sent us this note:
I was watching Anderson Cooper the other night and I heard Head Like a Kite. The funny thing was that I had just seen them the night before at Chop Suey. I double checked and confirmed on their website, CNN is in fact using their music as bumper music.I think that’s pretty huge. CNN? Wow. How the hell does CNN know about Head Like a Kite, let alone use them for their music?
Good question, but that’s pretty awesome exposure for the local band. Congrats, guys! For more info on Head Like a Kite, visit www.headlikeakite.com, where you can hear the band’s music and watch videos.

And they look damn good in Superman suits.
Anderson Cooper has great taste in music. He also uses songs by The Killers, Radiohead, The Cure and Franz Ferdinand as his "bump" music on AC360 and he's mentioned The Hives, Interpol, Blur, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Elvis Costello and Sugar as artists he has on his ipod.
I heard them last night - Friday night, again!! I think the song was 'Pour me a Drink'. Maybe Anderson is saying something. So cool to hear these guys on CNN.

Very cool. Very hot. They released their cd in the UK last month and they have all this European press and press from all over the US. I don't know how local they are. But they are Seattle boys and they've done good.
