Darren's song "Ghost" from his Last Drive CD will be in the new major motion picture Feast of Love starring Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear. And it will be on the soundtrack, too, along with songs by M Ward, The Frames, and others. Meanwhile, the new Straw Dogs song "When Heaven Falls" will appear in a new indie film that finished shooting this year in Austin, TX.

Straw Dogs are back in the studio working on a new record and playing some shows here and there so check out their MySpace site for dates and news. Darren's got some solo shows coming up, too, so check out those dates on his site and come out and see a show!

Darren Smith's new solo CD, "Last Drive" is climbing the charts (we love that cheesy phrase) and getting kick-ass reviews. Check out Darren's website and listen to cuts from this fine record, and the newest Straw Dogs CD, too, at KMTT, The Mountain, where DJ and fellow musician Drew Dundon has a great "Sunday Brunch" show every week. In Straw Dogs news, the songs "Amelia" are still in top rotation in the great country of Belgium. Never underestimate the power of Belgian fans to spread the good word! Check below for upcoming shows.
