P.S- You can feel good about buying this record because all proceeds go to benefit End Up Records, a not-for-profit music collective based in Brooklyn with the goal of making music easier and more fun to make. Isn’t that nice?

It’s just a shame that the Mets didn’t win…..especially seein’ as they were the home team and all.

Also, everything costs $8 at baseball games. Proven fact.

We’re going on our first tour next month and we could use some help filling a few open dates at the end of our route. If you have an answer to either of the questions below, please leave a comment here or email us at booking@balthropalabama.com.

1. Do you know anyone who has some pull at any small- to medium-size venues in Asheville or Charlotte, NC? We’d like to book a show for Monday June 30th or Tuesday July 1st in one or both of those towns.
2. We have a possible show booked at the Nightlight in Chapel Hill, NC for Wednesday July 2nd, but we need a local band or two to fill out the bill. Do you know of any local bands in Chapel Hill who might be interested in sharing a bill with us?

Our existing tour dates are posted on our upcoming shows page. Hope to see you on the road!

Thanks for listening, and thanks for any help with booking these NC shows!

Update: our North Carolina shows are booked!

My buddy Tim found a giant Smart Media card on the street today. These photos were on it. Are they yours?

On Thursday, March 20th, the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, we will release a digital download of our new single, God Loves My Country. The song asks the question: “Does God bless America, or any country or people over all others? Does God condone the violence enacted by one nation against another?”

Those who download the song will be encouraged to make a donation in support of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

To be notified when the download is available, join our mailing list.

Nifty: two songs from our first record were featured in the February 4th episode of the Sounds in My Head podcast, featuring music from NYC bands. It’s a pretty nifty site too: Check it out »
