I Can’t Get Enough

The new single “I Can’t Get Enough” is now available on iTunes for $1.29.
ICGE on Amazon.com

Eureka

There’s also 2 pre-orders for Eureka up.

Eureka – $9.99

Eureka (Deluxe Edition) – $11.99

The deluxe edition contains 4 bonus songs :
Pity
I Don’t Wanna Lose You (Acoustic version)
Can’t Put Your Heart Around Everyone
Go On (Acoustic version)

I can’t buy or pre-order neither the single or any of the album, so I’m assuming it’s US only? I’d love to hear who’s able to buy and who isn’t.

New Ustream from Robert

NOTE : YOU CAN PRE-ORDER EUREKA EVEN IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE US.
I know for a fact that people from Brazil, UK, Denmark and Germany have pre-ordered Eureka.

Shipping for the bundle (t-shirt + cd) to Europe is just under $10 ($9.81 I think), which makes it just under $35 in total (that’s about 28 euros in total).
Totally worth it.

You can pre-order a signed copy of Eureka here.

Summer Tour

In case you’ve missed it, Rooney is going on tour this summer.
They’ll start out headlining with the bands The Young Veins and Black Gold as openers.
This makes me wish I lived in the US. I love The Young Veins – and I’ve seen Black Gold open for Panic At the Disco once, they’re really good.
At the end of July, Rooney will join the Shout It Out tour opening for Hanson, while they’ll still throw in some headlining shows. All the tourdates that’s been confirmed are up on Rooney-band.com – and I’ve started adding them to RooneyJuice. You can get tickets for most of the shows that Rooney headlines on Rooneytix.com.
If you buy your ticket on Rooneytix.com, you’ll get a signed tour poster with your order.

The Office Sketch

Seems like Taylor and Louie had fun while they were on the set of ICGE

 Taylor Locke & the Roughs

Taylor and Chris are currently in the studio recording TLATR’s 2nd album. You can read a little about that on TLATR.com

Taylor has done an interview with the Rock & Roll Report, where he answered a question about Rooney’s new album.

Q: Anything you can tell us about the new Rooney CD coming out later this year?

A: It’s eclectic and cool, and we self-produced it. I’m proud of my contributions and my bandmates’ contributions. We did it at Robert’s home studio, and some at me and Ned’s studio as well. I played lots of slide guitar, which was fun for me. It’s the same good-time Rooney you’re used to, but with a few new twists. Some psychedelia, some jazzy bits, etc. Check it the fuck out!

Thanks to Ale from TLATR.com for that one.

Seems like Rooney will be opening for Hanson this summer.

Robert tweeted this :
“The summer tour is broken into three parts, Rooney headline, then we join up with our friends Hanson, then back to headline dates.”

Anyway, the Hanson part of the tour starts on July 21st – All the tourdates are up on Hanson.net

I hear that there’s a pre-sale starting tomorrow at 10am. The pre-sale is only for Hanson.net members.

Rob Hoffman has posted a little something about Robert on his website.

“I’m currently helping to produce a magazine for an amazing company called GoMerch!

Our first ever interview with Robert Schwartzman of Rooney is coming soon, as well as a few sweet surprises for the first issue.  It’s gonna be sweet, I promise, so start preparing for massive head explosion.

My photos and writing are going to be featured, as well as, and more importantly, work from some great artists.
So, here’s a shot of Solo Bob watering his plants.  It’s earthy and fun, just like Bob.

I’ll give you guys some more updates in the future, but look out for a tornado of goodness in early July.
In the meantime, check out www.gomerch.com“

There’s some videos up from the show Rooney played at ASU up on taintedlovexoxo’s youtube. Check out Taylor’s new haircut

Robert just did a ustream for 61 minutes and 39 seconds

Don’t mind the first minute and ½, it was the connection that created problems…. The video works, just move past it.

Robert announced during this video that Rooney will be touring with THE YOUNG VEINS.

If you want to check out the Young Veins before the tour, you can download the song ”Change” from their upcoming album “Take a Vacation!” on their website for FREE. “Take a Vacation” will be out June 8, just like Eureka

Robert also mention THIS about the tour :

We’re doing a headlining tour this summer. We’re going out for 10 weeks. From mid-June to the beginning of September we will be around America and after that I’m hoping we can go play outside of America.

MTV has a behind the scenes video from the I Can’t Get Enough video shot.

Gotta love Louie, he always cracks me up.

Thanks to Jacqueline for sending me the link
