Today is the official release date of the new Michael Perry and the Long Beds album, Tiny Pilot.  You can have a listen here, and find out about CD purchase or digital downloads here (the CD version includes a full-color poster, lyrics (with song commentary by Mike) and three bonus tracks not available on the digital version).

The band is going to be out on the road some.

We want to give a special thank you to Amble Down Records.  Kyle and his crew get all credit for bringing this project to the runway.  Now we’ll do our best to keep the wings square to the earth.

P.S. If you’re local (within range of Eau Claire, Wisconsin), we are told the album is available at: Borders, Truckers Union, Infinitea, Tangled Up in Hue, and Revival Records.

If you’re not local…here y’go.

The Long Beds have just been confirmed as a guest on Michael Feldman’s Whad’Ya Know? radio show Saturday, March 20.  We are told we’ll be playing two songs and that the two Michaels may chat a tad.  The show will be broadcast live from the Eau Claire Regional Arts Center.  Ticket info here.

And just a reminder, the new album is still streaming over at Volume One.

While we were finishing up the Tiny Pilot album, Chris (our guitarist) holed up in his basement to record some additional guitar sounds.  Note the glamorous setting in critical proximity to laundry (a recurring motif of my albums).

Mitch Teich talks to me about albums, airplanes, and accordions.  OK, nothing about accordions…this time.

We are told that the new Long Beds album has been officially added to the jukebox at The Joynt.

Everything else is gravy.
