Wakey!Wakey

Hello from shockingly unpredictable weather land. AKA London. Let’s just say I should have packed a sweater… And a scarf… And gloves… And a winter coat.
I’m pretty excited for Amsterdam and my return to Germany in July. I have to say, however that despite the weather, I’ll be really sad to leave London. Funny that just months ago we were begging the label to send us over, and now I’m living here. It’s also pretty amazing to think that this next tour will be my third trip to Germany. I’m so appreciative of all these amazing opportunities you guys are giving me. I don’t know how I could ever deserve all of this, but I promise to keep writing everyday and sticking around after shows for as long as the venues will allow. Thank you all sincerely, and I hope to meet you at a concert in your city soon.

London Bridge! I literally strolled through a market yesterday sipping Pimms. Awesome.

Tanya and I in Hamburg drinking Capri-sun (or as it’s spelled here Capri-sonne). She thought hers tasted like cheap perfume (in all fairness she thought it was apple, and we just figured out it was cherry(she HATES cherries)), I thought mine tasted like delicious childhood.

A special message to our UK fans -

Big thanks to all of you who helped us sell out our biggest show ever at London’s Scala last week! It was a landmark show for us, and another unforgettable night courtesy of our fantastic UK fan base. In fact, you guys have been so amazing, we’ve had no choice but to set up an official European release for our album “Almost Everything”, starting in the UK on August 1st. We never officially released the album in the UK, only in the US. It was available on iTunes and anyone in the world can buy from our Family Records store, but as far as an official release in Europe, this hadn’t happened. Until now!

You’ve brought so much attention to the album that we’ve managed to not only chart really well on iTunes, but also to sell out every show we’ve ever played in London! Because of all this attention, Family Records has put together a crack team (pictured below*) to help us spread the word further, and do a proper full fledged release. This means we are reaching out to UK press, radio, and records stores to be a part of this story. Hopefully they will enjoy the album as much as our early UK fans (you!) so it can be spread on a mainstream level.

I solemnly swear to you all that in the mean time, I’ll be continuing to make new music for those of you that have been with us so long. In fact I’ll be in the studio making demos in exactly one hundred and five hours from this pushing publish on this post. But just know that when you hear us referring to ‘Almost Everything’ as our new album, it’s new to the world at large only because you were there first for and with us. The official release will include some extra bonus tracks (Brooklyn, Clinton St. Girl) and additional art work. We couldn’t be more flattered, grateful, and eternally humbled by your continued support. It drives us to work even harder to make this next album even better than we ever could have without you. Thank you thank you thank you, and we love you all. If there are local/national press outlets and/or radio stations that you enjoy, please do spread the word to them about the music, for the official release date of August 1st. Your help is what got us here, and what will hopefully get us to the next level!

The very first pressing of Wakey!Wakey!’s “Almost Everything…” vinyl has finally arrived! The record is a beautiful bright red, and the first pressing is made up of only 500 copies. Subsequent pressings will be a different shade of red so that everyone will always know what the very first edition looked like. Check it out now in the Family Records store!

They are really, really lovely. 

So excited to have this out on vinyl.
