Congratulations are in order to the Young Mammals for being prominently featured on the home page of AmieStreet.com, a bargain download service similar to eMusic in terms of catalog and clientele.

After little more than a week on the site, Carrots is now a Top-25 album. Also, since Amiestreet pricing is directly related to how popular an album / song is, the fact that the band has gone from zero to $4.77 in such a short time is impressive. I downloaded it earlier when it was still under $3.00, but I haven’t had a chance to hear it. Get it while it’s cheap!

By the way, Young Mammals (formerly known as the Dimes) released the record themselves. They’re pals of ours, and we’ve shared the stage a few times, so we’re pretty stoked to see them getting exposure to a national audience.

This Saturday we’re playing at Mango’s for the first time, and we’re excited to share the holiday weekend with two of our favorite bands, The Jonx and The Gary.

Mango’s, if you don’t know, used to be called The Oven back in the day. My first band, Wholesome Rollers, played there a lot. On a tiny little stage that had one load-bearing beam smack in the front. I think they called it the Oven because they sold frozen pizza there by the slice. Or maybe just because it got hot as hell in the summer.

Mango’s, however, is more than a name change. They’ve moved the stage so it’s roomier and unobscured by the architecture. They’ve also added an outdoor patio. Is it still hot? I don’t know. But on Saturday night, July 3rd, you’ll find out.

Anyway details are below. Even more information, including the scoop on the un-Google-able Young Girls, is available at Jonxy’s blog. And our compliments to the Jonx for putting together one of the classier posters we’ve seen. We love us some Tetris.
