Album Release Party – this Sunday April 10th, 2011

The band I play in, Chop Chop, will be playing a rare LA show on Sunday, April 10 at All Star Lanes in Eagle Rock. I really, really hope you can make it!! We will be debuting NEW songs from the space rock opera. Also, it will not be a late show (starting around 8:00) so if you have work the next day, it won’t end too late.

It will be an awesome night! Not only are we playing and coming out w/ a new album, but our friends the Carrions (featuring Cheryl from the Breeders) are playing with us and our friends, the Dollyrots, are playing too, in their last LA show before they head back out on the road! Also, a portion of the proceeds are going to a fundraiser for our friends who have made a documentary on The Price is Right called “Come On Down!” If you’re a long-time fan of Bob Barker and the Price is Right, you’ll love this. Here’s a brief description:

“Come on Down!” A documentary film by Caryn Capotosto & Jeruschka White

“Come On Down!” is a heartwarming and hilarious documentary film about fans of the iconic game show, “The Price Is Right,” gameshow culture, the American dream, and the once-in-a-lifetime experience of being on “The Price Is Right!” The charismatic cast of characters in “Come On Down!” includes housewives, rock bands, college students, scholars, grandmas, fanatics, and “regular Joe’s.” The “TPIR-stories” that we have collected offer a hilarious and lighthearted glimpse at a truly unique staple of American popular culture as devotees live their “American dream.” As one fan proclaimed… “I compare it to Canterbury Tales. I think it truly is an American pilgrimage.” This film is a pop culture love letter to America’s longest-running game show and the quirky characters who have been called to “come on down!”

If you are in LA, come join us and and buy advance tickets:
