Hey everyone,
You may have seen The Night when we played together at Carousel Lounge in January, or you may have seen them at any one of their shows in Austin.
You might even have seen them on KXAN recently!
Now you can get them on iTunes, as they've just announced their new self-titled album is available for download.
They make epic music that invokes 80s giants like U2 and The Smiths but with a modern, dancy feel. Check it out!
This is pretty much the greatest thing ever.
"What is Nerdwave", our debut album, comes out on September 18!
It will be available for download on Bandcamp and on iTunes, Amazon, and elsewhere. You can also buy the CD from us at shows if you like.
Here is the album cover, featuring our sexy robot mascot Nika:
Racketeers!
This is your squadmaster here, writing to announce a couple of exciting pieces of news!
First, WRS will be playing with our good friends You Might Think We're Sharks on Friday, August 6 at Rockin' Tomato. The show starts at 9pm, and admission is free!
Come on down and enjoy the pizza, beer and excellent music.
Secondly, we are proud to announce the release of World Racketeering Squad's debut full-length album, "What is nerdwave?" on September 18!
We will be streaming a new song from the album each Monday until the release. First up is "Looking for Lorelei", which you can listen to right now by heading to our website!
We've worked with a lot of great people on this album, including former Squad member Jonny_Dub, Shark Mike Propst and Phonolux member Dave Novak. We're stoked and/or chuffed about our first album and we can't wait to present it to the world!
If you like "Looking for Lorelei", please spread the word and share it with your friends. Thanks!
Love, Reed, Isaac and Bruce
After years of secrecy concerning his past, Reed has finally come clean about what really happened in that time jokingly referred to a "before now" in his new Bio on this very site!
Excerpt: "... which opened up experiences and joys he never knew existed. Despite her contagious madness ..."
Check it out now by clicking on Reed Oliver!
So pleased to be able to see more articles in the Guide. Mine stopped receiving and the new version I picked up only allows me to write 140-character comments about things. It also has some sort of stylized fruit on it, rather than "Don't Panic" in large, friendly letters.
Sometimes a movie come along that immediately calls for another movie to come along.
