Party Lights

(Party Lights preparing for battle)

———-

Thanks a million to everyone who came out to our 7” record release party last weekend at Union Hall - it was a raging success and we had a blast! Thanks to Lee (Dead Flowers) for booking it, and to Crazy Pills and The Insomniacs for playing super duper rock n roll sets.

The Insomniacs

This Saturday (October 22nd) we’ll be at Don Pedro’s as part of Expose Yourself: Two Day Rock N Roll Blowout that Mr. Dave Harrison (of the Mess Around) so awesomely put together. We’ll be kicking off the night at 8:30pm and we’ll be followed by a bunch of great bands: our pals the Dirty Shames, the Bon (ex-Leather Uppers, Canada), The Jukebox Zeros (Philly), and Cudzoo and the Faggettes (hilarious and sexy foul mouthed ladies).

Also: our new 7” is now available for sale at  Underground Medicine and Black Gold Records in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, and mp3s are available on Amazon and iTunes and all those other wacky places where the kids are buying their music these days. Makes a nifty Christmas gift, me thinks.

Party Lights’ sojourn up north to Montreal and Sherbrooke was a raging success. Big thanks to our supercool pal Oliver Twist who set the shows up, along with the amazing Photoroman, our brothers (and sisters) from another mother, and the super awesome Kid Sentiment. We also had the pleasure of playing with our longtime pals Muck and the Mires, from Boston, who never cease to blow us away with their sheer garage pop awesomeness. We realize we are using a lot of superlatives here, but trust us, it’s all totally true. Everything we heard about French Canadians being insanely nice is all true. Everyone up there was amazing to us and we were treated so well in every way. So big thanks to everyone who made it so much fun! So much fun, in fact, that we’re going back in February. We hear it gets a little balmy there in February…

In the meantime, we’ll be making a gloomy January a lot less gloomy by bringing Photoroman and Muck and the Mires here for a show or two mid-month so stay tuned! More on that later but do know it will be the best thing that will happen the whole month, and probably even all winter. All year? Actually, yes, probably.

We are super jazzed (jazzed?) - about our upcoming show this Friday, Oct 14th, at Union Hall, to celebrate the release of our first 7” on Ready Baby Records. We’ll be joined by our pals The Insomniacs and Crazy Pills (who kick off the night at 8:30pm). This is gonna be a great bill (presented by our buddy Lee of Dead Flowers) so come on out and make Union Hall not regret their decision to let us headline. We rock at 10:30pm sharp and we’ll have lots of pretty red vinyl waiting to go home with you.

We have a bunch of great shows coming up this Fall, including a December mini tour with The Hounds Below from Detroit (Jason from the Von Bondies’ new band). Check out the shows page for all the juicy details!
