Here we go again...

FIVE IRON FRENZY DVD is delayed. The street date for stores will now be APRIL 13th, but pre-orders will be shipping on MARCH 19th. So you'll still get your stuff way before the stores do. But yup... Reese wasn't able to finish in time, so he made this apology via youtube. You can catch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=tYJIuPwTLcA

Next!

We are going to do the digital only release of I SING THE BODY ELECTRIC. Not familiar? Well, don't worry.. not many people are. But it's fantastic stuff by a man named Morgan Herrell. He is the co-lead vocalist for the Hard Girls and also the bass player for the Classics of Love. He has been recording these solo gems for the last few years and he has compiled 7 ep's that we will start releasing in JUNE. One a month until they're all out. You can listen to some songs here: myspace.com/istbe

The Hot Toddies new album "Get Your Heart On" will now be coming out on June 15th. It was earlier slated for May 11th, but they need a little extra time to finish recording.

And finally:
We are proud to announce that we will be making a $2,100 donation to Partners In Health and another $777.92 to Doctors Without Borders through our Haiti Package we were selling and through numerous test pressings we auctioned off. I know it's easy to become complacent in our safety net thousands of miles away, but hopefully we can continue to help our brothers and sisters in Haiti and also to all of those in need around the world and at home.

Be well friends.

Peace,

Mike Park
