FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE

This is a feature for people who love pop music
--and we’re talking the kind of pure pop for now people that Rockpile, the Raspberries and even the Cowsills were so great at creating--not this Mariah Carey/Spice Girls business that passes for pop today. One listen to this band and it’s easy to conclude they were born in the wrong era. In fact, Fountains Of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger (also of the band Ivy) is the guy who wrote the Beatle-esque, period piece “That Thing You Do” for the Tom Hanks film of the same name. 

Fountains Of Wayne is a duo whose heartfelt melodies and hook-heavy harmonies recently caught the ear of major radio programmers with “Radiation Vibe” from the band’s eponymous release. Now you can  interview the Fountains’ Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger  and enjoy an exclusive performance of the wacky unreleased track “Half A Woman,” shot by the LAUNCH cameras in late 1996. (We’re talking collectors’ item, here!)  Learn even more about this duo by clicking the Web button on your screen. A couple of clicks affords you backstage access to LAUNCH Online.
