Molly Neuman of Bratmobile, Lookout! Starts New Label

Once again, Molly Neuman has proved herself cooler than the Horses cassette tape in your big sister's glove compartment. Neuman drummed in Bratmobile, the Peechees, and the Frumpies, co-owns Lookout! Records, and currently manages the Donnas, Ted Leo, Some Girls and the Locust. Now, she's announced the birth of her new label, Simple Social Graces Disco.

"Simple Social Graces Discos is not about market share or marketing or competition or winning," Neuman said in a press release. "We are about love and friends and ruling." (Apparently, they're saving Angel, Music, and Baby for future campaigns.)

Today, Simple Social Graces released Haranna Hanne, the U.S. debut from Barcelona metal-punks Les Aus. Bandmates Arnau Sala and Mau Boada played in the now-defunct Omega Cinco, a, like, totally important Gold Standard Laboratories band that your sister, like, totally told you about five years ago.

Recently, you might have seen Les Aus opening for Ted Leo/Pharmacists. Not so coincidentally, Simple Social Graces will release Leo's next single, as well as albums from L.A.'s Fast Forward, and Madrid's Grabba Grabba Tape and Campamento Ñec Ñec.
