The evolution of your career in advertising:

Congrats to FOMA*!

Denver-based band "FOMA*" beat out a host of seriously heavyweight competitors including Wendy Woo, Jason Vigil and Savage Henry to take home the top prize in LAMG/Alice 105.9's Almost Famous Band Battle at Herman's Hideaway. Part of their prize package includes time at Coupe as well as a co-bill show with local favorites Meniskus.
Our own Greg McRae (Rose Hill Drive, DeVotchKa, Flobots) will be engineering their sessions - he was a guest judge the night of the semi-finals, so he's psyched to get to work with them here in our Studio A later this month.

PS - In a bizarre coincidence, FOMA*'s multi-talented Joe Apice appears in the Molson beer commercial lower on this page as "The Werewolf."

Mmm... Ribs!!

One of our very favorite VO talents, our old friend Frank Eriksen came by and treated everybody in the studio to a batch of his soon-to-be-famous ribs, chicken and cole slaw. We're planning on spending the rest of the afternoon contentedly rubbing our bellies and possibly closing down for a quick nap.
In addition to his pretty impressive culinary skills (which you can learn more about at www.roaringforkbbq.com), Frank's also an amazing VO talent whose resume includes Warren Miller Films, IBM, Miller Brewing Co, Texaco, and many, many more. Check out his website at www.frankeriksen.com
