Justin Finch-Fletchley and I have spent the past couple weeks getting ready for Whomp The House Tour 3; while I can't speak for Justin, I can say with enthusiastic confidence that I am ready to roll. It's been two months since summer tour ended and I'm already feeling antsy. I'm also really effing excited to introduce some new material (songs from my forthcoming EP, to be released by the
EP of the Month Club later this year) and show off some of the awesome new merch I've put together.
This time around, I'm expanding beyond the usual t-shirts/tote bags/CDs lineup and offering new and exciting items: Whomping Willows frisbees, can koozies, and house-themed eye patches! The frisbees and koozies will be part of the Whomping Willows Fun Pack -- which simply means that you'll save money when you buy both of them together. I've been posting pictures of new t-shirt designs at the Whomping Willows Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Whomping-Willows/139293246361. Go check 'em out and add yourself as a fan if you haven't already!
Our tour schedule has remained pretty much unchanged since my last blog post. Speaking of which, in case you missed it, I've created facebook event pages for all of our fall tour shows! Scroll down to my previous blog entry for links, and please feel free to RSVP to the event(s) you're attending and invite your wizard friends!
We do have a couple dates that we need to book, and we're hoping to fill them with house party shows! I've provided a list of those dates below and a corresponding list of cities that would be feasible for us to play on those dates:
10/15 - Little Rock AR/Memphis TN/Shreveport LA/Jackson MS
11/2 - Laramie WY/Salt Lake City/Cheyenne WY
We also have a few scheduled days off that we could possibly fill with shows, if we felt like it. ;) Here's the list:
10/11 - Tallahassee FL/Southern AL
10/21 - Salt Lake City
10/25 - San Jose/Milpitas area
11/9 - Peoria IL/Indianapolis IN
If you're interested in hosting a house party on any of these dates, please email me at thewhompingwillows@gmail.com
I believe that is all for now. Hope you're all enjoying the last few days of summer!
Love,
Matt
