April Smith and the Great Picture Show U.S. Open and NFL

First up they will perform at the 2010 U.S. Open, in Flushing, NY on September 8th.

The National Football League are also fans of the five piece, and will be featuring their cover of Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" in a television campaign kicking off this month promoting a new line of fashionable NFL clothing for women. In the commercials, wives of NFL players throw their husband's jerseys back at them with April Smith and the Great Picture Show playing as the soundtrack.

Audiences nationwide are hearing April Smith and the Great Picture Show on their new single "Terrible Things," which is currently being featured in promos for the hit Showtime television series Weeds. Smith's song "Wow and Flutter" can also be heard in a Colgate Wisps commercial.

"Terrible Things" is the lead track from the band's new release Songs for a Sinking Ship, and is already impacting at AAA radio, where it's gained early support from stations including KEZE (Spokane, WA), KPND (Sandpoint, ID), KCLC (St. Louis, MO), KPIG (Monterey, CA) and WCBE (Columbus, OH). A video for the track will be released this fall.
