PRESS RELEASE (August 7/07)

Too Slim and the Taildraggers Announces

TOO SLIM AND THE TAILDRAGGERS

"Hurray for the Underdogs"

The music business has always been a tough game, but sometimes it pays to keep your nose to the grindstone.Seattle's Too Slim and the Taildraggers have always believed in the "Do it Yourself" approach.

Their latest CD, "The Fortune Teller", has entered the Billboard Blues Chart at #10 in the Nation. They have accomplished this without retail distribution. The band has shopped the record to record companies and distributor's, but have received little or no response. Too Slim and the Taildraggers have not been deterred by the apathy of the music establishment; instead, they have forged ahead on their own.

Tim "Too Slim" Langford started his own Indie Label "Underworld Records" then hit the road and the Internet. They have relied on Internet and venue sales to distribute their music to the people. The result has been a top ten placement on the Billboard Blues Chart. This is no small feat, considering that the other acts in the top ten include the "Black Snake Moan" soundtrack, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tab Benoit, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, Joan Armatrading, George Thorogood, Derek Trucks, and Gary Moore.

It looks as though Too Slim and the Taildraggers music may hit the stores after all. They have been approached by Allegro Distribution and have a verbal agreement for a distribution deal by fall of 2007. In the meantime, the band will continue its "Do it Yourself" approach. It proves that with hard work and determination, unsigned groups such as Too Slim and the Taildraggers can still compete with the major labels.
