Summer seems to be settling in the Bay- I'm writing in the morning with full sun outside, and I left my house without a sweater...amazing! Let's hear it for July. Here are a few other exciting things this month brings: a show in Fairfax this Tuesday, a KALX appearance on Thursday, the Mission Creek Music Festival with a show at Cafe du Nord a week from today, and a show in San Jose on the 25th. Also the 7" got some nice reviews, and was voted single of the week at Norman Records (with an 'ecstatic' review!) - links at the end of this message. So read on for details. I hope to see or hear you at one of these!

thanks for all your support,
Hélène

Some 7" reviews
Our split single was voted record of the week by Norman Records! - and it left them 'ecstatic'...
Two other nice reviews, one at Losing Today (after a long ramble, but it's fun to read) and another by Psyche van het folk in Belgium.
You can support the lovely Autumn Ferment records by ordering directly from them here. I will have some copies at the Du Nord show, but they might go fast. Did I mention it's yellow?


Thank you for reading, till next reminder,

love
