They will play anywhere—Houses, backyards, cafes, etc… Please get in contact with the band on Facebook or with Mike on the Asian Man Facebook page.

And from last week’s Newsletter…

• KEVIN SECONDS has set up a Kickstarter page to help fund his quest for a new touring van. You can help him out here!
• CLASSICS OF LOVE are almost recording their first full-length record. Fans of Operation Ivy and punk music should prepare themselves accordingly.
• SPRAYNARD is opening for Kid Dynamite this coming weekend. They are excited.
