<p>At the moment we are in the process of writing a new record, which we are recording this July working again with Austin based producer Erik Wofford. We aren&#8217;t really touring so much these days, but are transitioning to a lot more writing an online releasing of new music. As we get closer to recording, look for more info on the new songs and record, and a recording diary with sound clips!</p>
<p>Our next Louisville show will be on August 18th&#8230;more details to follow!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to everyone who came out to Shotgun Fest 2009, it was an amazing show, and we all really packed out Lisa&#8217;s thanks for the support! It&#8217;s been a very behind the scenes spring for us Workers, but we&#8217;re back to the grindstone this July. We&#8217;ll be in NYC on July 25th and we&#8217;re playing at Louisville Slugger Field before the Bat&#8217;s game on July 30th. Look for more tour dates in the following weeks as well as a Japanese/Korean tour this December!</p>
<p>In other news, there are some more reviews for our new album out, the biggest of which is our AbsolutePunk.net review available <a href="http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=1067662">HERE</a>.</p>
<p>Finally we&#8217;ll leave you with some YouTube video&#8230;for those of you that weren&#8217;t able to make it, here is our personal version of Ted Nugent&#8217;s &#8220;Stranglehold&#8221; that we brought out for the old Shotgun Fest &#8216;09! (Video is very low light, but the sound is surprisingly rad)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First off, we&#8217;re happy to announce that we have completed work on our new album, and we&#8217;re hoping for a spring 2009 release. We&#8217;ll definitely post some clips on our Myspace profile in the very near future! In other, much bigger news, we have made the decision to change our name to Workers. This was no light decision, however in all honesty we haven&#8217;t been fans of the name Your Black Star for quite some time. The only changes are the websites, and in your iTunes libraries (in fact, we encourage you to update our name in your libraries) same band, same songs, just a better name!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone&#8230;we taped a performance for Fearless Music TV on our last tour, and they are playing our performance of Oh Jesus&#8230; this Saturday night! We hope you can check it out, and if you have time, please vote for us at www.FearlessMusic.TV as the winner gets to be on again next week, we did 4 songs, and we&#8217;d love for you all to see as many as possible. Also, if you are not in NYC, you can go HERE for a list of all the cities Fearless Music airs on&#8230;it&#8217;s a pretty huge list and chances are, it&#8217;s on somewhere around you. The official Fearless press release follows this message&#8230;<br />
thanks for your support!!!</p>
<p>&#8220;Check out a *New* episode of Fearless Music TV this week featuring SEVEN great bands. It airs in NYC this Saturday night, August 23rd , at 12:30am on Fox 5. Not in NYC? Not a problem! Click here to see the ever growing list of cities that broadcast Fearless Music. Also, be sure to vote for your favorite band after the episode airs at FearlessMusic.TV. The winning band will air AGAIN on next week&#8217;s episode.</p>
<p>The bands this week:</p>
<p>YOUR BLACK STAR (Performing: &#8220;Oh Jesus&#8221;) - This Louisville, KY trio are atmospheric and anthemic, creating songs that seem perfect for long car rides with your friends or the theme song to a great night out. Formed in 2001, this band set out to build a fan base the old fashioned way: non-stop touring and trips around the world. They have played CMJ Music Festival, South By Southwest and shared stages with Sleater-Kinney and The Hold Steady. Their current release, Beasts, is available now.</p>
<p>THE JEALOUS GIRLFRIENDS (Performing: &#8220;Secret Identity&#8221;) - A Brooklyn band that takes the sounds and attitudes from across the musical landscape to create melodies that stay in the head for days. Mixing new wave, Britpop and soul, The Jealous Girlfriends have a huge following, becoming one of the best-kept secrets in indie music today. Their self-titled record is out now and they are going out on tour with Shudder To Think this October.</p>
<p>CONSIDER THE SOURCE (Performing: &#8220;Do Not Shrink Me Gypsy&#8221;) - What would happen if a fretless guitar were teamed up with a live percussionist, and a 5 string electric bass guitar? New York City&#8217;s Consider The Source asks that question, blending together ethno-musical genres in a musical melting pot that reflects the city they call home. Drawing from diverse influences like Mos Def, Bach and John Coltrane, Consider The Source take listeners on a Middle Eastern psychedelic funk rock joy ride. Their self -titled EP is available now and they are on tour.</p>
<p>ALLA (Performing: &#8220;Es Tiempo&#8221;) - This Latin psychedelic pop band from Chicago takes Brazilian Tropicalia, the Motown sound, Mexican music and run it through a 1960s pop production. The trio sought a means to create a sound that took all of their collective influences and was a tribute to their Mexican heritage. The breathy vocals of Lupe Martinez over the international beats and flavors from around the world create a musical surrealist dream backdrop. Their latest, Es Tiempo (It&#8217;s Time) is available now.</p>
<p>THE BRIDE WORE BLACK (Performing: &#8220;Tonight I&#8217;ll Look To Celestial&#8221;) - This Queens, NY power-punk pop quintet combine rapid-fire delivery, hard guitars, synths and drums with a dash of pop goodness. Dance punk happy hardcore, The Bride Wore Black list their influences as New Found Glory, Depeche Mode, Saves The Day, New Order and The Backstreet Boys. They are currently in the studio working on new material, but in the mean time pick up their first EP, ¡PWNED!.</p>
<p>THE FUTUREHEADS (Performing: &#8220;Radio Heart&#8221;) - Named after The Flaming Lips album &#8220;Hit To Death In The Future Head&#8221;, The Futureheads formed in the UK in 2000 by singer Barry Hyde in his garage. They combine punk rock aesthetic with elements of harmony, pop and shades of New Order and The Clash. Extensive touring took them all around their native United Kingdom, playing Glastonbury Festival, as well as coming to the states to appear on The Jimmy Kimmel Show. Their latest release, This Is Not The World was recorded in 3 weeks in the Sierra Nevada range in Andalusia. It is available now and they are currently on tour in support of the record.</p>
<p>**The Viewers Poll at FearlessMusic.TV will determine the final band&#8221;</p>
