Hello world!

Balthrop, Alabama is going on tour again and we need your help! We’re using this really cool website called Kickstarter to try and raise money to go on tour. We’re headed to Austin to be there during SXSW and we hope that you fans of Balthrop, Alabama will help us get there!

Even the smallest amount will help us get to Texas, so give what you can. Also, you get something for what you give so check out the pledge levels for details!

Thanks in advance for your donation and we hope to see you on the road!

Andrew Vladeck will be opening for Balthrop, Alabama at the Abrons Arts Center show later this month. Tickets are now available: $10 in advance / $15 at the door.

Get em now!

We did an interview with the Ear to Ear Project.
Check it out!

The kind folks at The Portland Mercury wrote a nice blurb for our show at Dante’s last night:

“I want to quit my job, burn my house to the ground (or maybe just sell it), and join Balthrop, Alabama. This 11-piece ragtag Brooklyn ensemble of Southerners—Alabamans, to be exact—thrives with a vivacious theatrical flair, using their indie pop leanings (the wit of Magnetic Fields, the urgency of Arcade Fire) to create an entire movement in the guise of a rock ‘n’ roll band. They are literally their own community (“population 11″), and keep the conceptual theme going with short EPs that wondrously follow certain topics—Subway Songs, Cowboy Songs—to their end. Tonight you will be tempted to shed your former life and hop onstage to join the band. Why not make it an even dozen?”

Fair warning: this is more like a JUNK journal. Nyah nyah.

So the town is on the road this month, out to California and back. Have a look at our upcoming shows to find out when we’re coming to your town. Or follow our every move on our Facebook page!

Come join us for an evening of End Up Artists over at Joe’s Pub! We’re taking over the place for one night only!

7PM – Caithlin De Marrais with special guest Seb Leon
-& then-
9:30PM – Balthrop, Alabama (that’s us!)

Now that’s two shows to make it clear. You’ll have to buy two tickets, if you want! Crazy, I know, but if you buy tickets to both shows, you get a pleasant discount.

Now isn’t that just pleasant?

I hope I see you there!
