It’s been a few months since Aaron Lee and the Love Vigilantes said goodbye to Riverside to head to Nashville, Tenn., but things are already taking off for the rootsy band.
Today, Tuesday, July 2, is the digital release of the band’s new EP, “The Lightyear EP.” Even though the band is in Nashville now, there’s still a piece of Riverside featured prominently. The album cover features Lee in a Riverside institution–The Sire.

Before the band left, I talked with Lee about how he went from rock (after he moved to California he was playing with Alien Ant Farm guitarist Terry Corso in Ghost in the Flesh) to more of a country sound. That interview, from back in February, is up over at the iGuide.
Congratulations to the band on the new EP. Even though you’re in Nashville, we’re proud to claim you as Inland Empire. Visit www.aaronleeandthelove.com for more information on the band.
Check out a live performance of “A New Life,” which leads off the EP.
