That is one hectic tour schedule right there.

I'll be at the Wonder.

I'm really bummed I can't go to the MPLS show... the Cedar is one of my favorite little venues.  But I'll be at the Marquis!  These guys rule

[Buffalo Budd]

The Horseshoe is tiny.  Would my girlfriend like this show?

If I'm not overseas in Feb, I'll probably try to hit this show.  Love these guys.

Same here.  The Cedar is such an intimate place to see shows, i really dig it there.

I'll be hitting the Boston show though @ the brand new "Brighton Music Hall" :roll: (formerly Harper's Ferry)

Have you seen these guys before Jenny?

[WillBreathes]

I'll be at the Cleveland show, cool little venue too!

I have not!  I was supposed to see them last year in Denver (Quixotes), but had to go back to MN that weekend for my brother's engagement party.  My roommate last year is really into them, so she passed some of their music onto me.  Really excited for it!

So I mentioned in the Right Now I'm Listening To thread yesterday, the new album "leaked", and on listening to it I was pretty convinced it was a prank or a decoy or something.

So then here's this:

Email announcement this morning

                                                 

MAY 2010
  <<<<<<<<   $$$$$$$$$$$                  HAPPY HOLIDAYS            $$$$$$$$$$  >>>>>>>>>

Good cheer to all and best wishes for these happy holidays. Wishing everyone a creative and prosperous new year!

Can't wait to see all you good looking, happy, and healthy people out there on the road this year.We are so excited about our new record, our upcoming tours, and our first ever trip to the moon!

See more below:
Friends, family, and loved ones are going to be hosting listening parties for Shinju TNT all around the US the weekend of Jan 8th. Please come out and join/hang/listen.

If one is in your town, please help spread the word on facebook or twitter, and if there is not one in your town, don't get bummed, get proactive in this new year---->set one up. We still need places in Florida and Maine, and Missoula and Tahoe!

All you need is a stereo, a public place where people can join you, and a copy of the record that we will send you. Even a boombox in a parking deck is cool with us. But everyone has to burn the cd at the end and take a picture of it on fire so there are no leaks. We'll host all the photos : )

If you want to set one up, email us here: shinjutnt@gmail.com

FRIEND JAMs

A year or so ago now Seth helped Fletcher Kaufman, his old art teacher's (Mr. Kaufman) son, produce a record while in Williamsport, PA.

Fletcher has finished the record and it sounds great. He is giving it away for free here: fletcherkaufman.com

And we highly recommend you check it out.  Seth and Miles play a little on it and mostly Fletcher is just a gifter outsider music maker.
