Indeed, last month they inked a deal with Jimmy and Doug's Farm Club, a new subsidiary of Universal Music named after Interscope co-chairman Jimmy Iovine and Universal head Doug Morris. Wasserman hasn't made an album on the label yet, but he's already worked out the promo campaign: "Our shtick is that we're going to be the first band to break out of the Internet and actually make...
