If you missed Gold Motel opening for Cold War Kids last night at Metro and aren't going to be able to catch their Sunday set at Lollapalooza, don't worry! You can still get your fix of their infectious, sunny sounds by heading over to the Apple Store at 679 N. Michigan Ave. for a free performance starting at 5:30 this evening.

In other Gold Motel news, the band just released a new digital single titled "Leave You in Love" which fits in nicely with the material on last year's debut LP Summer House and single Talking Fiction. Classic three-minute power pop that's musically bright and shiny and lyrically bittersweet. You can listen to it or buy it (well worth the buck) via the band's Bandcamp site.
