Album Release Party Tomorrow Night!

TOUCH SCREENS release day was a blast. Now, on to the release party!

Come celebrate the release of TOUCH SCREENS with me at The Crocodile tomorrow night (Aug. 9) at 8PM. Hotels and Stres open, it's ALL AGES, and only $8. You can pick up a copy of the limited-edition colored vinyl album of TOUCH SCREENS (almost sold out!) and spend the entire evening watching and listening to some good music. I might have a little surprise in store, as well. Who can say.

Did you see this shit in the Seattle Times yesterday? "Lush is an understatement. It's bigger than that. A beast of an album." DAMN! (SIDENOTE: I hope no one got in serious trouble at the Times for running the original album artwork in the print edition. Whoops!)

If you're a Seattle record store patron, you can pick up TOUCH SCREENS at Easy Street, Sonic Boom, Wall of Sound, and Everyday Music (Capitol Hill location only). Not sure any more stores will get added to this list because we're almost sold out of the limited-edition vinyl.

That's all for now. See you tomorrow night at The Crocodile! xoxo
