Team Genius is very proud to announce our association with Paper Garden Records. In my opinion, Paper Garden is the best up and coming label around and is run by some incredibly nice, sincere, smart and hard working people. We could not be happier about this. Details and formalities are still being worked out but our next release will be called “Loud Songs” and will be out in early January. There will be several more releases to follow every couple of months. It’s going to be an exciting year.
We will be celebrating this Saturday night with a show at The Rock Shop. You should definitely come by. We’ll be going on first for this one so get there early (8-ish). Beers on the roof after (it’s still supposed to be very nice weather).

This Saturday NIGHT!
Hope to see as many of you as we can.
Hey buddies, we made a video for Ronald Reagan’s cousin, one of the four awesome songs on our EP, Pop Songs. Check it out:
Ronald Reagan’s Cousin from Team Genius on Vimeo.
That lovely EP is available to stream and/or buy at band camp RIGHT HERE!
Click the images for some awesome animated Team Genius GIF action, courtesy of Mr. Zak Kostura. They cover three of Team Genius’ pillars of excellence: spitting beer, ridiculous piano rolls, and badass confetti guns.
We have arrived safely back in Brooklyn physically and mentally drained. We believe it is safe to say Team Genius slayed SxSW.
Super awesome thanks to Brian and Heidi at Paper Garden Records, Charlie from that hippie party, the people behind Beer Camp and sound dude at Emo’s, Susan at Bookwoman and all the awesome bands we shared the stage with!
Also, a million billion love units go out to our extra special stand-in drummer for BRINGING THE HEAT to our Emo’s show! Thank you Koven!
And especially thank you times infinity to Zak Kostura, band manager/photographer/RV waste handler extraordinaire. He got some pretty awesome pics of our end of week shows. Check a few here, and also at Team Genius’ Facebook page.
Lastly, follow us on Twitter, ya’ll: @TEAMGENIUSBAND.
South by Southwest is starting and we are PUMPED, people.
After a 28 hour drive, we arrived smelly and exhausted in Austin on Sunday in time to play a rocking set for the lovely crowd at Beer Camp at Emo’s.
Confetti guns were fired; dance moves were busted.
It was a most excellent showing, thanks to everyone who came in and partied.
Since then we’ve done nothing but eat gratuitous amounts of breakfast tacos and BBQ and absorb sun and rock music. MOVING ON.
We have a few more shows to play this week starting tomorrow, when the rest of the band will join Drew, Hudik, Emma and I on our magical RV.
Tomorrow: 2pm, Nomads | 4:40pm, Bookwoman
Friday: 8pm, Uncorked
Hope to see ya’ll (get it get it, we’re in Texas) there!
Team Genius is headin’ down to Austin in a magical RV. It will be wondrous.
