Our third LP will be released in September 2014! More details to come, but mark your calendars for a Friday 9/26 record release show at New York City’s beloved Mercury Lounge. Tickets are already on sale. Get ’em while you can, because our last Mercury Lounge show sold out.
New York City Show – Thurs June 5th
We are just about wrapped up recording our third LP, due for release in the Fall. To celebrate the end of the recording process, we’re playing a New York City show on Thursday June 5th at Santos Party House on Lafayette Street just south of Canal Street. It’ll be a double-bill with the mighty Chris Campion. Chris will be be backed up by a full-on electric band playing a set of songs from his forthcoming solo record. We plan to debut some new material from our forthcoming LP as well, and of course the nite’s gonna end with a hootenanny-style set of anything-goes cover tunes.
Lost B-side for Record Store Day
It’s Record Store Day, and there’s a lost Wormburner B-side included on a Record Store Day compilation CD available at record shops throughout New England. For those of you not in New England, pick up the song for just 99 cents in the at iTunes Music Store. Or just stream it below via Spotify. It’s an alternate version of “Jersey Central Power and Light”, which has been a staple of Wormburner live shows in recent years.
Quiet please, we’re recording
We’ve been holed up in the studio putting the finishing touches on our third full-length record, due for release later this year. Follow the progress on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
2013 –> 2014
What a year! 2013 was one of our greatest to-date. We got to play New York shows with some of our heroes including Violent Femmes, Old 97s , and Bill Janovitz (of Buffalo Tom). We toured the mid-Atlantic states and released a new 7-inch single featuring a guest appearance by Sean Eden of LUNA. And the year ended with a huge outpouring at a SOLD OUT Mercury Lounge.
We’re gonna hole up in the studio now and finish recording our third LP. The 2014 release-date is TBD. Many thanks to our friends and fans for all the support. Keep checking back for updates on the recording process and upcoming shows.
