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!

Moonwink Countdown
Have you guys been to HTTP://WWW.SPINTOBAND.COM recently?
It's kind of sparse right now, but with each new phase of the moon, there will be new content. Exciting!

Release Dates! Residency!
So Moonwink, finally has some release dates! The time period will be autumnal. Those of you living in the United Kingdom, (and the rest of the European Union, for that matter) will have the privilege of being the first people in the world to purchase it when it Fierce Panda drops it on September 15th (during a full moon...a full Harvest moon).
Those of you living in North America won't have to wait long after, for Park the Van Records will unleash it on October 7th. Vinyl-enthusiasts, fear not. For the first time west of the Atlantic, we will be pressing 12 inched LPs (the radical ones that come with a CD copy so you can still listen to it on your discman!).
In show news, we still have three more shows at the Union Hall in Brooklyn. Last Thursday was great, and the remaining shows are on par to be so as well. For example, next Thursday:
July 24th - And The Moneynotes
Probably one of the most up-and-coming of Scranton's "gypsy-beat" scene. For you Scrantontonians, they may be a "local band", but this Thursday, they will be foreign. And you will want to marry them so they can get citizenship.
July 31st - Ball Of Flame Shoot Fire
It's rare that we get along with people from Pittsburgh (for obvious reasons), but these kids have won us over with their musical charms. Raucous piano and horn sing-a-longs that never abandon well-crafted pop sensibilities.
August 7th - The Homophones
The video above is everything the Homophones aren't. Imagine the possibilities!
For a list of the other groups playing, please see this post.
