Shoobidoowah

Jet-setters that we are (in spirit!), it seems fitting that it's been a week for international compilation news. This one hails from Japan (via our label there, Rambling Records), and they have included our electro-swing tune 'Venus in Hollywood' on a new release titled 'Swingin' Gold - Tribute To The Great Gatsby.' 

It's just been made available on iTunes Japan (for those of you with access to that - if you want our track alone it's internationally on iTunes here). For old-school CD lovers we've been informed that there will be a full CD release coming in the Autumn.

Regardless of what you thought of Baz Luhrmann's film (looked amazing - waaaaay too long?), there's no doubt that the 1920's style it depicted still packs an absolute punch. We love to imagine Daisy and Jay doing the charleston to "Venus...".  And we're also pretty thrilled with the fact it's a nice mix of old and new artists and that our favourites Ella, Eartha and Louis are included - you could say that Sweet Tooth are dancing with the stars on this one ;)
