Absolute Punk has some very good words to say about “Placed by The Gideons”. Click here for the album review.

We’re back from the West Coast! Here’s some video footage of us performing on Good Day LA. We were thrilled to share this morning television segment with a gallery of esteemed street artists who, like us, had journeyed cross-country for their West Coast debut.

Seattle was perhaps the highlight of the tour. The venerable KEXP hosted us for an interview where we performed 4 songs live-in-the-studio . The radio station captured some great photos of our visit as well.

To celebrate our return to New York City, we’re playing a show at Pianos on Thursday June 9th. We hit the stage at 9:30PM. Mark your calendars and be there to welcome us home!

To send us off on our WEST COAST TOUR with a bit of fanfare, Street Date is featuring a recently-recorded, videotaped interview segment with Wormburner in a rare acoustic performance setting. Street Date is a CBS online service that reviews new CDs and features live studio sessions every week. Click here for some live acoustic performances and a nicely-edited interview segment.

This Springtime, Wormburner will take the show on the road for our first-ever WEST COAST TOUR dates. We’ll kick things off in Fantastic LA with a show at The Silverlake Lounge on Thursday May 12th. We’ve also been invited to the venerable KEXP in Seattle for an in-studio interview and live performance on Saturday May 14th at 1:00PM Pacific Time. Then we’re playing a 10:00PM show at The Mix that evening. Additional Northwest club dates will be announced shortly. Keep checking back for news, and please help spread the word!

Wormburner returns to the New York City stage on Friday March 4th at Pianos. We will share the stage with talented indie rock bands from near and far, most notably San Francisco’s Heavenly States whose new album features guest vocals by Britt Daniel of Spoon. Wormburner hits at 9:30PM.

NYC Taper was on-hand at our Mercury Lounge show earlier this month, and the result is a professional live recording of our entire set. Click here for free access to the recording, as well as a very nice write-up about Wormburner. NYC Taper is New York City’s premiere live music archivist, having recorded bands like The National, Mission of Burma, and Yo La Tengo in just these past few weeks.

We’ve inked a deal with Wisconsin-based Wax Off Records, and our new album is now out on 12-inch vinyl. More specifically, clear vinyl with red and yellow splatter.

One of the digital bonus cuts is an alternate version of the song Jersey Central Power and Light. You can preview it by clicking here.

It’s December, and that means it’s time to dust off your copy of our Christmas Single Bells of St. Ignatius. This tune gets a little more popular every year. Here’s a brand new music video of us performing the song live onstage at The Mercury Lounge in 2009.

Bells of St. Ignatius is already making its way onto this year’s crop of hip holiday playlists. Pick up a copy of the song in the iTunes Music Store for just ninety-nine cents.

Listen for Wormburner songs on the next two episodes of Terriers, the critically acclaimed new series on FX. Tune in tonite and on Wednesday December 1st at 10PM.

Wormburner’s own “Pike City Proper” is being featured on-air and is available today for free download at Seattle’s KEXP. The song can also be accessed by subscribing via iTunes to the
KEXP Song of the Day podcast.

KEXP can be heard in New York City at 91.5 FM. Our new album remains in heavy rotation on KEXP and on independent radio stations nationwide.
