In case you haven’t heard, Taylor and his band “Taylor Locke & the Roughs” have just released a new album. The album is called Marathon and is, in my humble opinion, even better than Grain and Grape.

You can get Marathon on iTunes or as a physical copy straight from the Roughs (by paying via paypal).

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.

Robert has revealed a bunch of Rooney news on his twitter

- They’ve had a prep day for a new video (to be shot on Tuesday)
- They’ve done a photoshoot

Also, the Rooney Street Team has tweeted that something exciting will be happening for Rooney fans on Monday – so stay tuned

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I’ve been a little pre-occupied doing a little ”project” for Taylor Locke & the Roughs with some other girls.
Check out the brand new fansite on www.tlatr.com – We have bios, pictures, lyrics (corrected by Taylor himself ) and a bunch of other stuff up.
Remember to buy Grain and Grape on iTunes.

I won’t be posting too much about Taylor Locke & the Roughs on this site, so head on over to www.TLATR.com and leave us a comment

Taylor has a new project going on.

The project is called “Taylor Locke & The Roughs”. Taylor is doing lead vocals and guitar.

The other members of Taylor Locke & The Roughs are (from left) Chris Price playing guitar and keyboard, Charlotte Froom (from The Like) who plays bass and Mikey McCormack (from Everybody Else) playing drums.

They have 4 songs up on their myspace, and I got to say that I love each one of them… Though during my first listen I fell just a tiny bit more in love with “What Have I Done?” than the rest

You can find them on facebook too.

Awesome job Taylor Locke & The Roughs

Concerts

Taylor Locke & The Roughs will be opening for Sloan at Slim’s in San Francisco on Feb 19th. The doors open at 8pm and the event starts at 9pm. 
You can buy tickets here.

Sloan is also playing a show in LA on the 21st. Seeing as Taylor Locke and the Roughs are opening for Sloan in SF – and has a concert listed on the 21st in LA, I’m assuming that they’ll be opening for Sloan in LA too. TLATR aren’t listed on the website though, so I don’t know for sure. If I’m right, they’ll be playing at King King on Feb 21st. Doors open at 8pm.
