The April Reader!

Welcome to the April edition of the Hey Marseilles Monthly Reader!

After our busy month of March, which started with an East coast mini-tour and ended with six shows at SXSW, its been nice to be home. This sentiment segues cleanly to the first numbered item of importance.

1. Ultimate Frisbee. It is our relaxation and meditation, our war and our peace. We’re doing weekly pick-up games at upper Ravenna park in Seattle; they’ve been really good. Every Sunday, 2pm. Map: http://bit.ly/aIOU6W. If you feel hesitant, just check our facebook page to see if its still on. Ultimate frisbee can be learned in minutes, and is fun for all. See you Sunday.

2. We’re really excited for our record “To Travels & Trunks” to be released nationally in June. To celebrate the occasion, we’re pressing delicious 180 gram vinyl. Dual LP, Gatefold jacket, yum. The songs are completely re-mixed (HI-FI!), we’ve added one track, and we’re really excited to have the record distributed to record stores across these United States.

3. To celebrate the Vinyl release in Seattle, we’re throwing parties at Vera Project May 21st, and at The Tractor May 22nd. We’ve got some hip bands joining us, we’ll be playing new material, and I think the shows are going to memorable and badass (two adjectives that form a brutal double-punch when used in tandem).

4. www.heymarseilles.com is brand new! On the front page, there is a little guy that will let you download the remixed version of Rio. If any of you enjoy blogging, we’d love to see our little free download traverse the net. Click the <share> button to grab the embed code.
