Jason from Short Round and The Chinkees is back with a new band! Here’s what he has to say:
Hey friendlies, it’s been more than 8 years since I’ve written any music. But now I have a new band with my friends Max and Morgan from Classics of Love and Hard Girls. Here’s a free downoad of the first two songs we’ve written. I’m really proud of what we did. Special thanks to Bob Vielma and Joel Hatstat for doing the recording and putting some hair on these muscles. If you have the time to check it out, I’d be grateful. Feel free to spread the word. Thank you.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the LEER “SPRINGBREAKNOPARENTS” record release show. Such an amazing night full of positive energy and nice folks AND great music. Leer sold out of all their records too! Woohoo! We’ll be putting up pre-orders for the record soon, so check back next week for that.
