New Sampler and A Night Of Record Machine-ness

We have launched a brand new sampler where you can stream and download tracks from several of our upcoming records. Check it out over at www.therecordmachine.net/sampler.

Next week is our second A Night of Record Machine-ness in Kansas City for the summer. The last one was a great sucess. We had about 200 or more people packed into Bryce’s house for so much fun they almost fined us. This time we are having it at a proper venue: The Czar Bar. It will be to celebrate Perhapsy coming to Kansas City in support of their new record. They will be joined by Capybara and Sam Billen. It is going to be a great night and hopefully we can pack out 200+ people in Czar Bar so please come out. It also got a nice write up in the Pitch.

The Parade Schedule will be playing shows across the midwest this fall.
