Great news!
Our CD, Bees on the Vine is available for mail-order through the milkmachine web store. Featuring 13 songs, an 8-page booklet with amazing artwork by Heiko Müller, lyrics, and information. The cardboard “digipak” packaging has been manufactured using 100% Green forestry Practices Certified board stock and the CD tray is 100% recycled plastic.
As many of you know, we have been working for a long time to record our first full length album. We’re incredibly excited about the finished product and can’t wait to share it with you! The official release date has been set for May 7.
To celebrate, we’ve got a killer show planned with American Sinner at the Red Palace (www.redpalacedc.com) in Northeast Washington DC. We’ll have copies of the CD for sale at the show for $10. If you can’t make it out to the show, we’ll have copies available through the milkmachine web store, iTunes, Amazon, etc. starting in June.
Russ and Jared left for Minneapolis today in the minivan! As of 2:37pm, they were crossing state-lines into Pennsylvania, which is — according to Google Maps — about 99 miles outside the District. Only 1002 miles left to go…
Tonight, Milkmachine is opening for Hoots & Hellmouth at DC9.
Hoots & Hellmouth are going to be a ton of fun to play with and, needless to say, we are excited about this show.
Sadly, this will be the last time Milkmachine performs with the tuba we’ve been borrowing from our friend Jeff Mitchell over the past year. He’s playing music throughout the upcoming holidays, and his practices are picking up.
What does this mean for us? On to the next tuba, and a big thank you to Jeff. If you come out tonight, please think of how he made this show possible. (Or you can think about him playing tuba while wearing a Santa hat and suspenders. I know I am.)
Stay tuned for future tuba news, and come see us tonight at DC9, 1940 9th St NW, one block from U St. metro. Milkmachine at 9 p.m. $12.
