Our new album arrived just a couple of hours before we gathered to begin refining and rehearsing for the CD release show. Luckily it went much better for us than those hapless English musicians... several boxes full of discs, no major issues, no "none more black" comments. Everything looks terrific. The printing looks really great and all the extra effort and cost that went into making this special is worth it. That moment when you first hold the final product (?) in your hands... wow. Indescribable. So I should just stop, right? Let's backtrack and cover some recent news... Redsfest 2008 was a blast, again. We closed the event out at Duke Energy Center and played about an hour... with a couple of surprises near the end. We got some dancers (thank you!) and some T-Shirt sales (thank you again!) and got to pull out a few surprises near the end of the show... The Big Show, from Cincinnati Clutch Hits, is a song we VERY rarely play, and of course Christmastime, our catchy-as-johnny-bench ode to the holiday season. Big thanks to Alex and everyone from Mind Ignition for giving us such a nice mix on stage, Gapper for his musical contributions, and YOU for coming to see us! January 18th, 2008, is the official launch date of "Tragedy Comic". You will be able to order the CD before the show at www.cdbaby.com in a week or so. Friday the 18th we're having a huge, bigger than bigger, grander than grand CD release show at the historic Southgate House in Newport, Kentucky, directly across from Newport on the Levee. Thanks to ZStreettv.com we're pulling out all the stops for this show - creating tons of video content, uncovering old nearly forgotten Mimes tunes, and debuting a few new tunes we've been working on that we know you're going to love. We've assembled hundreds of hours of interview footage, live clips, and special behind-the-scenes Wed, 09 Jan 2008 10:09:45 GMT http://zstreet.zoomtown.com/blog/1475/
