NEW RELEASE: Live in Stockholm Cassette!

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Cassettes are back, guys!

This cassette documents the final show of our 2010 Scandinavian tour. It’s actually not the whole show, but rather the acoustic portion of the show. The recording from the second half where we plugged in sounds like junk so we didn’t want to ruin the tape. The bit we’re selling sounds pretty great considering we were playing without microphones. If you’ve ever wondered what it would sound like if two Harry Potters had a rock band and a room full of Swedish backup singers, then look no further.

It runs about 31 minutes and really captures how much fun it was for us to play these amazing shows in Scandinavia. You can hear us singing “Accio Hagrid” a bunch of times in Swedish, along with lots of other massive sing-a-longs. The tape blows out a few times when the crowd is loud, so don’t be alarmed.

We are packaging the cassette with a physical copy of Joe’s Scandinavian tour diary, which has a lot of pages and documents our whole trip. It’s a great diary and you will learn interesting things about Sweden: a place where Thai restaurants don’t serve Pad Thai. How about that?

The whole run will be limited to 100 numbered copies.

Order in our online store or join our email list to get to the bonus secret store with stuff for cool kids.
