In Case You Didn't Know

The Unnatural Helpers will be releasing a 7-inch as a part of the newly refangled Sub Pop Singles Club. The songs come from the session that they did with Phil Ek about year ago and are really great.

Here's the tracklisting:

1. "Dirty, Dumb & Comical"
   "Connecting"
2. "Break That Horse"
   "The Easy Way Out"

The single will be third in the series (October) after Om (August) and Mika Miko (September). Yes, that's 4 songs.

I have this all on very good authority.

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.
