Good News For Sundowner Fans!

This is good news for Sundowner fans, AND Lawrence Arm's fans if you haven't heard of Sundowner (you should listen here)

Chris posted a bulletin on his myspace earlier:

"Well, it’s been three years since the first Sundowner record and man has a lot happened in the world since then. We had the summer and winter Olympics, the Cubs got embarrassed in the playoffs a few times, Obama became president, I won my first fantasy football championship and we all got a bit older. Ahhh, the dizzying highs. I also wrote a bunch of songs. Over the last several months me and Neil (Hennessy if you’re nasty) having been working on the new Sundowner record in Logan Square in Chicago and I’m excited to say it’s just about done and that we’re putting the finishing touches on it. I’m stoked to be teaming up with Mike Park and releasing it on Asian Man Records this time around. We’re shooting for a mid-summer release and we’ll have more details for y’all in the near future. I’m also really excited because Toby Jeg at Red Scare is gonna press Four One Five Two on vinyl this summer and we’re gonna throw a big party. Rap at ya soon!"

News: Anticipated 2010

Until then, watch them play, "fine day," in 1994:

News: Anticipated 2010

For me, splits are kind of a love-hate thing. If you love one band, you may buy a split in hopes of unburying some unreleased treasure trove. But what if the b-side band is unworthy? How about those bands that put out millions of split albums? Which ones are worth more than 1/2 of your purchase?

Enough with the split anxiety. Brendan Kelly of the Lawrence Arms, and Joe Mcmahon of Smoke or Fire will be releasing a split together on March 16th called Wasted Potential. Get stoked.

In an interview with Punknews, Toby from Red Scare Records said: "I swear to god I saw this all coming when I saw Joe carrying Brendan's limp, drunken body out of a Las Vegas elevator back in like 2005. So we know they got the 'wasted' part down, we'll have to see about the 'potential'. "

It will be released on LP by Anchorless and on CD by Red Scare.

If any songs come out, we'll keep you updated

For now, Here is a crappy video of Brendan Kelly doing "the Ramblin' Boys of Pleasure," acoustic at Riot Fest last year.
