    Please welcome TIEDYE to the Italians Family

    Hello. Italians Do It Better is proud to welcome the
    band TIEDYE to the family. TIEDYE is from Gothenburg
    Sweden, and are not just a bunch of dudes with expensive
    computer programs playing dance music. They are an actual
    band that play live musics. Italians are releasing a 12"
    by TIEDYE in early 2008 entitled "Nothing" , which is a
    cover of the Metallica song "Nothing Else Matters".
    Trust me, the song RULES. We were blown out of seats
    when we heard this song. We may stream it soon for all
    of you to hear.

    In other news, the Professor Genius and Farah 12"s are
    almost sold out. We have a small amount left so order
    them fast! We repressed the Glass Candy and Chromatics
    12"s because the demand was so high. Thanks for the
    support!

    Coming soon: I-talians on I-tunes.

    PS1 stream up

    hello. PS1 just posted the Italians afternoon party we
    hosted in August. Scroll down and there's a few links. one
    has the live Glass Candy set one has the Lovefingers dj set
    (which was KILLER btw) , and another has a small part of Mike's
    set. Mike played for like 2 and a half hours and i think the
    second half goes up soon. Mike became a trance dj that
    warm summer afternoon!

    note: you can also access other stuff from this summer, such
    as the Invisible Conga People live show from the DFA showcase.
    Italians are releasing their debut 12" in a few months! And
    our pal Tim Sweeney also has a nice one up there as well!
