Comic!-Packing Problems

Thanks to everyone who bought Albatross vinyl today and yesterday! I'm going to the post office now! I took this picture and couldn't help drawing faces on (most) everything. (I'm seeing some more faces I could have drawn, but I need to force myself out the door.)


hey, if you want to get this beautiful record go here!

Classic Creeps Update! New Acoustic Vid!

First, Mike posted a small picture of what the buttons and poster will look like over at the hhbtm blog. It seems there are still plenty of $20 packages left with the vinyl, poster, and button set, but only 4 packages left with the embroidered cover (w/ vinyl, poster, and button set).  So if you want to get one of those you still can but it wont last long because I've already started making them. Also, if you bought one of those embroidered covers and haven't heard from or responded me or Mike asking for a picture reference please send me one ASAP.

If this is your first time to the site and have no idea what I'm talking about, click our new album cover below:


The release show is three weeks away! This is going to be an extremely fun show with three of my favorite local bands: Spooky Folk, New Science Projects and Alphabet. Mark the date! April 23rd at Rubber Gloves!


Finally, I will leave you with this video from an acoustic session I did during 35 Conferette for Radio UTD. They wrote a nice piece on our whole experience over on their blog too!




P.S. thanks to everyone who ordered the Albatross vinyl yesterday! I'll be sending these out soon!http://classiccreeps.com

Albatross Vinyl For Sale! and new SHIRTS!

Well, I stayed up really late but I finally got the albatross vinyl up for sale. check it out here
With every purchase of the vinyl (and now digital) you will receive the following digital bonus tracks:

• Audio from the 2007 Albatross CD release show; We played the entire album and more while being yelled at by an obnoxious fan. (this is a pretty rough recording, but dont worry there's more!)
• Audio from an hour plus radio performance we gave in 2007 on tour in California featuring some pretty hilarious and awkward banter. We played the whole album here as well and the audio is a little better (and gets better toward the end)
• Six demos! (tracks 4-9 on the album) Pretty much the only listenable demos I could find. 

Overall, this is somewhere around two hours worth of bonus Albatross content! But best of all is the vinyl record which really is beautiful. Many many thanks go out to Arnaud and his new Fishstick Records imprint for helping put this thing out.

I decided to sell it on bandcamp (and move my whole store there) as opposed to my site so that you can instantly get the digital bonus stuff once you buy the vinyl instead of having to wait for me to email you a link. Also, they accept more than paypal which is nice. It still has a couple of kinks but please let me know if you have any problems and we will work something out.

Also:  NEW SHIRTS! We have two new shirt designs in that I'm super proud of check it out!

You can get them over at our  shirt page and at upcoming shows!




I'm gonna go to sleep, see you guys soon!http://yofishboy.bandcamp.com/album/shirts

Albatross on Vinyl! March and April Shows!

hello!

It's March in Texas which means tons of crazy shows from 35C and SXSW and everyone who is passing through for both. As a result, we are swamped with great shows in DFW and one in Austin. Which is great because it will give everyone a chance to get this:

Thats right! Albatross is at last on vinyl! It's not up in the store yet because I am in the middle of moving into a new place and still need to compile all the extras that will come with the digital download (live shows, demos, radio performances) but it will be coming soon. I'm going to do a free acoustic performance next Tuesday at Art Six as a "release show" for this beautiful record and then several shows around town the following week for the two festivals.


Check the shows page! I will elaborate on all of this more later.


Also, there are only a few (maybe five or so) slots for the deluxe embroidery portrait package of Classic Creeps. Order now or be sad later.

Albatross Now Streaming on Bandcamp!

Yo! I know you've already been able to listen to this record free for three years on farewellalbatross.com but now its on Bandcamp HERE with the comic AND lyrics. Now you can officially end all those debates about the lyrics to Proper Name Spelling Bee.  

Soon you will be able to get the record on vinyl too from European label Fishstick Records! more info on that soon.

Wednesday Comic!-Pocket Chomps Penguin-PLUS AN UPDATE!

OK! I am officially up to date with my daily comic which means no more comics thrown at you faster than you can read. Just in time too, because we aren't that far away from launching deluxe pre-orders for our new record Classic Creeps. I will be posting up new songs and videos and art and whatnot that actually relates to the band and its music, instead of all these weird/sad/poorly drawn comics that you all love.

Hey while we are on the subject of Pocket the rabbit, here is a shot of those Pocket Pins I drew about here: 

 What do you think? cute? disgusting? free with every order? Now what if I put it next to this picture?

OK, I gotta go wrap up the art work for the vinyl release of Albatross...Is that news or did I mention that a while back also? Either way, it looks great so far!
