Sliimy - New Perezcious Music/WB Signee Releases Music Tees with CD Download Code

STREAM: Sliimy - "Wake Up" (from Paint Your Face)

You have to love an artist that has been described as “a kindergarten Prince with ADD let loose in a toy instrument shop of the future”.

French artist Sliimy has been generating quite a buzz on the internet and Twitter having both covered Britney Spears' song “Womanizer" and opening for both Spears and Katy Perry on select dates in Europe. Sliimy has just released "The Sliimy Music Tee™", which is personally designed by the artist and features album artwork on the front and the Paint Your Face album track listing on the back. Each shirt comes with a unique promo code and web link to download his new album (which was released last month on Perezcious Music/Warner Bros. Records).

The Sliimy Shirt is available online and at retailers Fred Segal, Kitson and Metropark.

Woodhands Cover Katy Perry, Release Live EP and Play The Delancey on May 16th

Seemingly touring non-stop after the release of their debut disc Heart Attack last year, Woodhands haven't slowed down with the releases. They released a live EP (an iTunes exclusive live session), a remix EP ("Dancer") and a couple cover tunes.

With all the emo bands who think it is "ironic" to do a straight-forward cover of a pop song, Woodhands does a brilliant deconstruction of Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl". This rendition is far from the original teeny-bopper anthem - check out Dan Werb's growls on the chorus. According to Werb, "we did it because the spirit of the song spoke to us: It's that feeling of being overwhelmed by the moment, of indulgence, of unfettered hedonism. Also, Katy Perry is hella hot. And the song is dope."

Woodhands are started a two week US today in Kansas City and the tour wraps up at The Delancey on May 16th.

Here is the complete list of tour dates:

May 7 - Kansas City, MO - Czar Bar
May 8 - Springfield, MO - Outland
May 9 - St. Louis, MO - Pops Blue Moon
