If you didn't know, John's solo debut "HEIGHT" on Doghouse Records hits stores today so pick that up!!! For details check out http://johnnolanmusic.com 

Also, Destry's debut "IT GOES ON"  on Paper and Plastick featuring Michelle DaRosa and Shaun Cooper is up for pre-order at

http://destrymusic.tumblr.com/

our newest EP "About Time" is available now on vinyl!

to provide the best possible sound quality it is a 12" 45rpm record, and each copy comes with a plantable download seed-card (providing both mp3's and WAV files, in addition to artwork). the card actually has wildflower seeds embedded in it, so instead of throwing it away, you can plant it and grow flowers.  its win/win/win.

also a limited edition silver vinyl version is available with a hand-numbered silk screen lyric sheet, with a signed record jacket.

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be going doing a few solo shows at the end of this month and a tour this summer. I'll be playing songs from my upcoming solo album and a couple of acoustic Straylight songs(probably ones we've rarely or never played live). I'll be touring with a band you might know called Mansions. They, along with my wife Camille will form my backing band for the tour. Good Times!
Also, while I'm getting my solo album ready I've been working on a project where I had fans send me music to collaborate on with them. I just put the first song that I finished up on my myspace page. You can check it out along with my upcoming tour dates here. See you soon!

John

hey guys,

we're really happy to tell you that you can get our new EP "About Time" on our webstore right now!

http://straylightrun.merchnow.com/

we'd also really like you guys to know that you can download it as mp3s or wav files. just incase anyone doesn't know, mp3's are compressed audio files. they don't contain all the sonic information that the original source did (whether the song started as a CD or WAV file). some people may not really notice, but to others, they sound different. VERY DIFFERENT. recently people have been asking us about higher quality audio files, which is AWESOME. its so great to know that we have fans that care about music.  maybe this is the change we've all been waiting for.  so since we're putting our music out ourselves, we've decided to make these songs available in both formats.

the mp3 download contains the EP as mp3 files, plus lyrics and artwork
the WAV download contains the EP as wav files AND mp3 files, plus lyrics and artwork.

we really hope you enjoy this music and thank you so much for supporting independent musicians.

-straylight run!

we're about to head out on the road for a few weeks before we take the summer off. we'll be joined by our good friends LOVEDRUG on all the dates, and GOOD OLD WAR on most of them as well. check with the venue's website or box office for ticket info and show times.
