Now accepting orders for "Moonwink"

Ladies and gentleman, it's been an exciting day at the Spinto Band offices!

First, we observed, studied, then rehearsed the choreography of The Shadows' historic 1981 performance on Noel Edmonds' Swap Shop.



It's not perfect yet, but by the time we play your city, we will have it down! Wait, "play your city"? Oh, about that. We've got some tours planned. Are you ready?

First, we cross the Atlantic ocean and traverse the United Kingdom (with just a punch of Belgium, France, and The Netherlands). It's been a while since we've been there. Do they still have Pret a Manger? Joe wants to know.

But the real reason we're excited today is because Moonwink is available for pre-ordering!

For residents of North America, please direct yourself to Park The Van's Web Store. You can purchase a CD, Vinyl (180 gram!), or a "bundle". Now, I know what you're thinking: "Bundle? What is a bundle?" Well, the bundle comes with a copy of Moonwink, a comfy t-shirt, an adorable poster, a modest sticker, and a roguish button! For only $30.

For residents of Europe, please direct yourself here. Each purchase comes with a digital copy, and the first fifty customers will get a free copy of
the Decade: 10 Years of Fierce Panda compilation...So order fast...and often!

I hope I'll get a plane ticket for the Paris show, if it's the only solution. And I can't wait to get my bundle !!! :D Hooray !

Is it alright if I hold out and buy the album when you come to play here? You will bring copies with you on your tour won't you?

AWESOME AND ALSO AWESOME. I hope the corn-drumming version of Later On is a bonus track.

Quite pumped you're touring with Frightened Rabbit. Just bummed I won't be able to catch any of your shows :(. I guess I'll have to make amends by purchasing one of those sweet bundles instead.

Is the show at the Paradisio going to be broadcast on FabChannel.com?
