Unnatural Helpers and Fall-Outs Dates + Releases + SXSW

Happy 2008! There's a ton of stuff going on, and most of it's great, so I'll just get into it.

RELEASE DATES We have release dates set for a bunch of records:

• The Fall-Outs / The Fall-Outs - 3/4/08


• Coconut Coolouts / Party Time Machine - 3/4/08


• The Fall-Outs / Sleep - 3/11/08

Both Fall-Outs records are the first digital issues of two great records that came out on Steve Turner's (of Mudhoney fame) Super Electro label. I'm super honored to have the opportunity to make these records available digitally--they're classic records by a band that I love. All the releases will be available on iTunes, Emusic, Rhapsody, Amazon's download store and of bunch of other digital outlets.

SXSW The Fall-Outs, Unnatural Helpers, and Coconut Coolouts will all be performing at SXSW this year. Everyone will be playing the ERO showcase (we're still waiting on the specifics), and hopefully a bunch of other events during the week. We'll all be down there Thursday 3/13 through Saturday 3/15 so come find us and hang out. I'll post show specifics as they become available.

The Coconut Coolouts just got back from a barnbender of a micro tour with Nice Smile and Detroit's favorite Honda-rock crew, Tyvek. If you missed it, you missed a whole lot of fun. Highlights included: Pete-za Party jumping off the top rope aiming an elbow at Nuckinfutz, Teen Wolf surfing on a Taco truck outside of Budget Rock, the evolution of the Coconut Coolouts from a "party" band to a "shopping" band, some ultimate shredding on the part of Tyvek, and the consumption of at least a billion tacos, some from said taco truck and others from elsewhere.
