After recording a video for “Song Away” MONTHS ago featuring comedian and musician Charlyne Yi, Hockey decided to give the video a different spin. Check out the newest “Song Away”. Though I can see this getting picked up by the few remaining music channels and possibly giving Hockey a big break post JCPenney back-to-school endorsement deal, I’m still [...]

Charlyne Yi (how can you not like her, especially after Paper Heart) makes a music video cameo in Portland-band Hockey‘s latest “Song Away”. I’d like to hi-five the person that thought about teaming them up. Hockey plays Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ on October 16th.

Hockey, Portland-based and awesome. Photos from the August 10th Mercury Lounge show below… After the show, lead singer Ben Grubin shared that they’ll be returning to NYC in October – although no dates have been scheduled (hoping it’s part of the CMJ music showcase!). He also clarified the album release of October 6th (previously slated [...]
JCPenney’s Back to School Campaign Pulls in Hockey @ Bowery Ballroom

My pix from the August 8th JCPenney event at Bowery Ballroom featuring Hockey (for the JCP Front Row promotion). The event was for tweens, except for the handful of hardcore fans that managed to get an invite to the event. Despite this sellout move (with more JCP events taking place in Dallas and L.A.), this [...]
Hockey Sells Out (To JC Penney & Teens).

One of my favorites, Portland band Hockey, has remained relatively unknown in the states. The vast majority of their promotion has been across the pond, with the occasional plug on MTVu’s site. Things will quickly change, and I’m not sure I necessarily love it. Saatchi & Saatchi launched their ad campaign for JC Penney’s back-to-school [...]
No cure either. Thanks to Disorder Magazine for the mugshot.
STILL HOOKED: Hockey
Posted: June 25, 2009 in Hot Trax, What's Ed-G:Tags: EMI, Hockey, Lollapalooza
The frontman (for Portland-based band Hockey) is slowly becoming my new idol in life. This band will be all the buzz in a few months – mark my words. Aside from their Lollapalooza gig on August 7th, there are no other US dates scheduled. Their European tour goes through October, then I’m hoping EMI will place some marketing effort behind [...]
Listen up. Portland, Oregon has a great band named Hockey – they’re not straight laced and they’re not typical cliche rock. They are glammed out hipsters with an edge – their sound is indie disco funk pop with the stylings of a band you’d expect to derive from Manchester, England. So while The Strokes continue [...]
