We've been getting a lot of emails lately from new fans who just purchased our "After Party" cd after finding us from the tv spot, saying how much they love the record & are trying to get their hands on more F86 material.

It's been a busy week so far regarding press on FUTURE 86, and more specifically the commercial we shot for 1-800-OK-CABLE. First the article in the LA Times (yep Los Angeles, where the commercial doesn't even air) and now today there's one in the New York Observer. Didn't bother linking the LA Times article as the "fact checking" done by the publication was mediocre at best but it's kind of an entertaining read for anyone who actually knows any of the band's touring history and discography (playing sold out shows at the Whisky a Go-Go in West Hollywood, CBGB in NYC, & at NAMM in Anaheim, CA isn't exactly just playing pubs in NJ & CT, but I digress). The New York Observer article can be read by clicking here. Funny thing about the commercial & all the hoopla currently surrounding it in the media... ours was not the first with an "undiscovered" band advertising cable in our region, but it sure seems to be getting the most attention and airtime.
