10 Year Anniversary Show: Seattle Edition

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

As most of you know, Light In The Attic just finished celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary as a label with two epic sold-out concerts and the beginnings of an exciting 7″ series. What a wild couple of months. It’s been a great ten years and we’re so lucky to have y’all right here with us.

For those of you who missed the shows, this here blog post will provide a virtual experience that should help fill the void. If you were there, enjoy this trip down memory lane!

We started out in Los Angeles at the El Rey Theater (for pics from the LA show, click here). Then we were off to our home town, Seattle, where Michael Chapman, Donnie & Joe Emerson, and Rodriguez were all set to take the stage. Here are some pictures from the show!

Jimmy Fallon is “So Baby” on Watch What Happens Live

Sunday, November 11th, 2012

About a week ago, Donnie Emerson was watching the tube and discovered this little piece of broadcast gold. Jimmy Fallon was a guest on Watch What Happens Live, a late-night talk show on Bravo. Jimmy is asked “What’s that one song you just love to jam out to,” and he answers “Baby” by Donnie & Joe!

Jimmy tells the TV audience a little bit about Donnie & Joe and they discuss the mysterious lyric “You’re so baby.” We caught this on Jimmy’s twitter about a week back too:

Check out Dreamin’ Wild and jam out to “Baby” and other Donnie & Joe Emerson tracks at LightInTheAttic.net
