The music contained on “No Evil Star” is the hardest rocking French Letters has produced to date, yet it maintains the band’s penchant for poetic lyrics.

French Letters is excited to announce we’re releasing No Evil Star on Friday, October 24th at the High Dive in Fremont, WA. We’ll have CDs and T-shirts for sale and special guests to join us for a few songs.

Last Saturday French Letters was a guest on Plastic Jet Airline, a new variety show based in Seattle. We can’t thank these guys enough for their hospitality and the great footage that they took. Check out more videos here.

Here it is, our new single available for free download, “All Over and Under the Rhine“, a loping blues/rock number featuring a chorus of doo-wop, a fiery saxophone solo by Eric Patten and a climactic call and response with help from the soulful, smokey vocals of Kelly Young.

And we looove the sexy Lautrec inspired cover art by Dylan Speeg.

Back at it… Another year, another album. And one more chance to catch us playing live in our element. If you hadn’t noticed, the shows have slowed while our output has grown. Seattle music is grinding a rough transmission these days, and while we never struggle to express ourselves as a band, the venues and opportunities to do so have become limited around this rock roll town.

While the scene we love seems to have dissolved around us this past year, we have been hard at work on a new record. A record that finds us as a unit in top fighting form.

We are pleased to invite you to the release for the first single off of this album. It’s a little ditty people are wont to say, “It sounds like early Stones and Tom Waits, without trying to sound like either.” In our world, and in this uncertain time of local musical futures, that sounds like a compliment.

Please join us at the Sunset as we debut the single “All Over and Under the Rhine” for you.

Our new EP, “Here There Be Serpents“, is a smart, swaggering Molotov cocktail of poetry, blues & Americana with take-no-prisoners guitar rock, featuring incredible cover art by J. T. Dockery.
