This Thursday 6/17 is the big release show for the new Explone album. We're returning to the Crocodile with guests Sirens Sister (ex-Vendetta Red guys) and The Admiral's Club.

Are you local? It would be great to see you there. Here's the Facebook event and here's where to get advance tickets. Come, let us rock you. Rock you, we shall.

Are you not local? You can still help us out by requesting songs from the record at KEXP. (The DJs there seem to be particularly fond of "It's Complicated").

As for the record itself: we're still waiting for Dreamers/Lovers to show up on iTunes, but you can hear a handful of preview tracks at the Explone website and grab "Michigan" as a digital single right now.

I've been sick as a dog for the past week and sure hope my voice returns before Thursday.
