Kittens,

I've been back in Las Vegas this week making preparations for my tour with *Las Vegas Club* (www.myspace.com/lasvegasclub) which begins this Saturday in Phoenix, AZ. We are lucky to have Wyatt McKenzie, of Mother McKenzie (www.myspace.com/themusicofwyattmckenzie) playing with us on this tour. He's in both bands and is fast proving that he will be the glue holding us together on stage and during our expansive travels.

Also, out now for our 2008 Summer Tour is a new found sound release called Band Nerd Love!!! A, full length CD-R in black or red paper sleeve w/ (lengthy) insert. Some of you may have heard this tape b/c it is not exactly new. I once sold cassette copies of it in the East Coast in 2006, and it even got played on Hollow Earth Radio (in its entirety) this past May. Now, BNL is available to everyone.

Band Nerd Love is the name I have given to a love letter cassette (recorded sometime in 1985) that I found at a thrift store in Las Vegas, NV in 2006. It was authored by Martin, a know-it-all music nerd who loves to hear himself talk. BNL is an amazing artifact from the life of an American teenager of the 1980's, steeped in the type of egoism, self-loathing, and suffering that typifies teenage existence. Guaranteed to make you cringe.
BNL can be ordered through my website at www.jacobsmigel.com/orders or picked up at any of our shows listed above.

Cheers,

Jacob Smigel
