Week in review: 1/19/09 – 1/23/09

From Leftover Salmon’s Bill McKay being arrested to Swayback adding Adam Tymn from Vaux to its line-up to Frontside Five and 29th St. Disciples landing record deals, there was tons happening this week. The biggest and perhaps most stunning item of the week, however, has to be news of the unfortunate and untimely demise of Hearts of Palm, one of the most promising bands to emerge from Denver in the past five years. After the jump, in case you missed anything, we’ve compiled a handy list of links to all of this week’s stories so you can catch up. Have a weekend. See you on Monday.
