* The road to SXSW has begun with our pals in Bake Sale. After a rockus kick off show in Memphis last night, I am sad to report that Bake Sale had a dinobox filled with at least 12 limited cassettes taken from the venue. It is no where to be found, so if you find it let us know please!

* A few shows have been added recently including:

3/13 - 6PM In-store at Origami Vinyl in Echo Park LA
           (Bake Sale - 6PM, Carnivores 6:30)
          8PM Show at The Cat and Fiddle w/ Creation (60s) Cover Band
