Champagne Riot to release EP via Matinee Recordings

Champagne Riot has confirmed that their forthcoming EP "Confessions of a poker pro" will be released via Matinee Recordings. No exact date yet, but they say to expect it before Christmas. As for the tracklist, the EP "will be a compilation of [their] best recordings from fall 2009 through to summer 2010" as they feel that they moved beyond that era of music-making and will be working on a different level for their eventual LP.

Champage Riot to release 7"

Champagne Riot will be releasing a double a-side single via UK label XXX Records on September 27, or at least so says Off the Radar. The featured tracks will be "Heart stab" (see the aforementioned link for a d/l) and "A friend of a friend" and no, I'm not sure if XXX Records is the legit name or just a placeholder, but it's certainly the least original name I've heard in ages if it is indeed a new English label.
