["Jamie Miyares" <jmiyares AT gmail.com>]

We (Durham-based Tin Star, www.myspace.com/tinstarnc) just got added to the
Crystal Antlers bill at the Local 506 next Tues., Oct. 28. Yes! They are on
Touch and Go Records, a label we love. Their recent album "EP" is on
Pitchfork's "most read reviews" list and got one of the "best new releases"
of 2008. Check it out:

Thanks,
