Lovemakers get big iTunes boost: Single of the Week

The Lovemakers have found a champion in the world’s top music retailer. iTunes has picked their song “Love is Dead” for the rare and coveted iTunes "Single of the Week" beginning today. An awesome and deserved boost for an amazing indie act, and perfect timing as Apple announced the release of iTunes 9 just this afternoon.

The new album, Let’s Be Friends, also dropped this week exclusively on iTunes with national retail hitting September 15. The Lovemakers celebrate with a special performance at Apple Store San Francisco on September 12th at 1:00pm, and Record Release shows this week in San Francisco, San Jose and Sacramento.
