Be sure to join us at the Double Door February 23 to welcome the newest and most excellent band to the CAUDog Records label.  CAU is proud and excited to be a part of the Chicago-based upbeat and spirited rock/pop masters’ new release. The new album is being wrapped up with a bow in the CAUDog studios with Producer Ellis Clark. The new CD will join the Future Laureates releases “Your Mom Would Like Us” and “Rethink the Recession”- both covered in golden pop songs that will have you humming along.

Fans know The Future Laureates for their fun and aggressive live shows. Check out these awesome reviews! Mark your calendars for February 23!

The band’s upbeat, dynamic sound combines influences of artists ranging from Guster to Simon and Garfunkel to The Avett Brothers—with a ukulele. The Future Laureates have opened for Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Drive-By Truckers and Dawes.  2012 is off to a momentous start as the band is poised to make their debut performance in March at the world-renowned SXSW music festival in Austin, TX.

After a successful promotional campaign executed by Tinderbox Music, the band’s 2011 release, “Rethink the Recession” was signed to licensing deals with a variety of shows on MTV, Showtime, and Discovery Networks (which includes TLC, Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, History Channel, and Oprah Winfrey Network, among many others).  The eclectic, 3-song EP also made it into rotation on 140 college and community radio stations across North America.
