Ladyhawk + Waterblues pics

For all who missed last weekend's throw down at My Hero with Ladyhawk and Waterblues.... I feel for you. Things got a little rowdy during the hawk's set resulting in shredded mic cables and broken pedals (sorry darcy) but I think we'd all agree they were welcomed losses. Here are some photos to jog the drunken memories of those who were there and to make the rest of you wish you were.

Major thanks to Michelle and Sarah for being the coolest girls in town and for those who did merch and door. You guys are awesome!

Good times at My Hero

PFA's new record ' The New Ancients' has been sent off for pressing. That means they'll be out real soon-like. We'll be accepting pre-orders via the shop section of the website shortly... within the next day or two (or whenever one of us (namely me) gets his lazy ass to update the site). you can go stream the whole album here: www.peopleforaudio.com or download an MP3 of the track, "Black Memory White Whale".

bloggin

if you're here reading this you can see that we've set up a blogging device here on the website. partly because it just seems so much less formal than the regular website news section and more enticing to keep up to date. why? i really don't know. we'll see if it actually works. ....
