Hey Europe, we\u2019re coming for you\u2026 AGAIN! We had this scheduled for 2021, but obviously that didn\u2019t happen. But I feel real good about it happening in 2022, so grab some tickets and please help spread the word over there about these shows. We\u2019d love to make European trips a much more regular thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BANDCAMP FRIDAY<\/strong>
…\u2026 is today! 
We\u2019ve put up the freshly mixed 2021 version of \u201cBuilt To Last\u201d on Bandcamp a couple times in the past year for Bandcamp Fridays, but I realized that it\u2019s never lined up with a mailer before for me to tell you about it, so\u2026 here you go!<\/a> It\u2019s available for purchase on our Bandcamp page<\/a> until 11:59pm PST tonight (Friday). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

AND we just noticed that the split black\/clear variant of \u201cNight of Queen\u201d vinyl is down to less than 100 copies, so we\u2019ve added it to the Bandcamp store as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t know what the hell a Bandcamp Friday is, it\u2019s a very special day where Bandcamp waives their fees for 24 hours, so the artists get all of the money (except for CC fees, but that\u2019s fair enough). So yeah, get out there and support some bands today so they can buy some Tapatio Doritos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW YEARS 2021<\/strong>
Happy to announce that our New Years show at Exit\/In with Makeup And Vanity Set<\/a> and Hans Condor<\/a> has sold out, but we wanted to give you a heads up on some new COVID related policy changes at Exit\/In (and a majority of venues in Nashville). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know it\u2019s still a few months away, but as of right now, Exit\/In is requiring a proof of vaccine OR a negative Covid-19 test (within 48hours of the show) to get into the show, with masks strongly recommended. We\u2019re all for this, by the way. The more precautions the better, so venues can stay open and so we don\u2019t get stuck in a lockdown situation again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

KYLE GASS – VACCINATED<\/strong>
Speaking of vaccines and such, Kyle Gass (of Tenacious D fame – he was also in Evolution<\/em>, which is a criminally underrated film, I might add) asked us a while back to shoot some footage for a little video he put together for his \u201cVaccinated\u201d<\/a> parody of The Ramones\u2019s, \u201cI Wanna Be Sedated.\u201d We obliged. And while they couldn\u2019t use very much of our stuff because it was such a jam-packed star-studded event, we figured we might as well release the Snyder Cut. You might want to rent out a movie theater to watch this potentially academy award winning gem. Watch HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

LIVE IN NASHVILLE<\/strong>
Don\u2019t think you can make it to our New Years or European shows? Don\u2019t sweat it, we made Live In Nashville<\/em><\/strong> for this very exacting reason! If you don\u2019t have it already, grab a copy of the Blu-ray and\/or CD (or just the digital versions) from our Sound Machine<\/a> or Kings Road Europe<\/a> stores and watch or listen anytime from the comfort of your own home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVER UP VINLY NEARLY SOLD OUT<\/strong>
If you want a copy of The Cover Up on record, you\u2019d better hurry, there are only about 200 left in Sound Machine Store<\/a> and much less than that at stores across the US America. Again, if your local record shop doesn\u2019t have it, see if they can get it from URP Distribution before they\u2019re all gone. Also, there are some signed copies available at the SM Store right now.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe out there,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
