One thing that they didn’t mention is that we’re giving away copies of our EP, “The Last Superhero”, to the first 15 people who purchase tickets online.  Buy a ticket from Ticketfly.com and you’ll get a CD when you arrive at the Abbey tomorrow night.

We’re releasing a new EP on July 29, 2011 at the Abbey Pub!  The 3 song collection is titled “The Last Superhero”.  It will include “The Year Before I turned 13″, “Welcome to our Forgotten Town”, and “The Last Superhero”.  The songs are complimentary to those on our first EP, “I’ll spend my nights in the graveyard”, they tell the tale of an angel and a boy who comes back from the dead.

The EP will be available for purchase on iTunes next week.  We’ll have a limited number of CD copies at the performance on July 29.  For the time being, however, you can preview the EP right here.

We’re returning to Chicago’s Abbey Pub on Friday, July 29, 2011.  Joining us for our set are 20 singers from Chicago’s Russian Folk Choir, Golosá.  This will be our first Chicago show with our new cellist, Sarah Zilonis, and violist, Madeleine Walsh and pianist Renee Serritella.  John Sturm from the Walking Shadows will be joining us on drums.  We’ll be premiering new songs and we’ll have a new EP available for sale.

Also on the bill are Chicago’s goth/shoegazers My Cold Dead Hand, and Indy Indie rockers We are Hex.  DJ Scary Lady Sarah and William Faith will spin between sets and after the show.
