I haven’t updated here in a while, however if you follow me on twitter I have been updating a little there.
There’s a couple of things I wanted to let you know about.
Rooney will be touring in Germany in October. All the dates are up here as well as on Rooney-band.com. Tickets can be bought via artisttickets.com. This is the first time Rooney is touring in Europe since spring 2008, so make sure you go to a show if you can make it.
Taylor Locke & the Roughs are playing 2 shows in September. One in Las Vegas on the 17th and in LA on the 18th. You can see information about both shows under tourdates or if you visit tlatr.com.
Matt, Taylor and Ned (yes, I said MATT) will be joining Bleu & Mike Viola at 11pm (show starts at 9pm) for a special night with friends on September 22nd at the Hotel Cafe. Chris Price from Taylor Locke & the Roughs will also be joining them.

Taylor Locke stage dives
I don’t know if you’ve heard it, but at the very last Hanson/Rooney show, Rooney came out while Hanson played Mmmbop. At the very end of the video Taylor jumps head first into the crowd (at 6:20). Kudos Taylor, hope you didn’t hurt anyone
Thanks to PortalHansonBR for uploading the Hanson Live Stream video and Get Your Rooney Wisdom for posting the link.
Here’s the videos from the live stream that Rooney did with Hanson the other day.

First off a new video diary from Columbia MO.
2nd – according to rooney-band.de the I Can’t Get Enough single should be out in Germany on July 9th (though I have still only seen release dates on webshops as July 30).
T.G.I Mixtape by Ned
Ned has put together a mixtape of emerging artists for Baeble Music.
“For my emerging artist playlist, I decided to limit myself to artists who happen to be my good buddies. I wasn’t sure I was going to have enough and I was delighted to realize how many talented friends I keep. The following artists and groups are people I have had the pleasure to record with, play with, sing with, write with, and hang out with. Now put on some headphones and enjoy these great songs from my pals. -Ned Brower”
Check out the playlist and listen to all the songs on their website.

Rooney / Hanson Livestream
Hanson and members of Rooney did a livestream from Robert’s studio last night. It’s still re-streaming as of right now.
It’ll probably still be to find in the library on Hanson’s livestream once it stops being the current stream (hopefully).
Have you ordered your copy of Eureka yet?
Otherwise, pre-order your copy from Amazon today.
The pre-orders Rooney had up earlier shipped two days ago, and I know at least one person already got it.
So hopefully everyone who ordered it already have it by June 8. A day to celebrate
Rooney will be on the radio – Kruz 97.5 – on June 6th from 6-7pm. They’ll be playing an acoustic performance.
If you don’t live anywhere you can get that station, you can tune in and listen to it here.
Rooney will be doing an in-store performance at Best Buy in Thousand Oaks on June 8. This takes place at 6pm.
Another post with a lot of updates… Thankfully we have a lot of those these days
Absolutepunk.net is streaming “You’re What I’m Looking For” from Eureka – listen to it here.
Altpress.com is streaming “Holdin’ On” from Eureka – Listen to it here.
AP also have a contest up for people in the US where you can win, amongst other things, autographed rollerskates.
Check out the concert here.
There’s a couple of videos up on mtv :
Louie talks about the tv show “Lost” (1:12-1:19)
Seems like the guys are busy in NY. They’ve been doing some acoustic songs, signed a shitload of Eureka cd’s plus I’m sure there’s lots more on the program.
Rockthestreet (the people who now run the Rooney Street Team) has tweeted these pics/tweets.

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.
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“
