CD Release Shows. Our New Album Is Done And Available! No Law School!

I am very excited to announce that our brand new, PCB Album, is all pressed up and ready to roll!

Stream or download it from our website:
http://music.paulchesne.com/album/pcb

Get it on iTunes

Or buy a hard copy at our slew of CD release shows this month!

The hard copies were printed on eco-wallets with environmentally friendly inks and recycled papers. It cost several hundred dollars more, but the only plastic in the thing is the CD itself. They are a handsome package indeed.

Pappy & Harriet's Friday : Fishlips Saturday : Gram Rabbit Movie : Beat Farmers : Tinfoil Hats

Friday April 23rd: At our favorite spot Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace near Joshua Tree.


Also happening during that time is they're playing the movie Alice In Wonderland set to the music of Gram Rabbit. 
 So that's kinda a cool night. 
There's a whole other trajectory to your weekend that could include attending the Devil's Night music studio grand opening on Saturday in JT. 
And it's only 1/2 hour from Stagecoach Music Festival.

But on
Saturday April 24 we're taking the 62 to the 395 to the 58 over to Bakersfield to play
Fishlips' 10 Year Anniversary show with The Beat Farmers. 
They pretty much never leave San Diego. So it should be a unique evening.

Don't forget your tinfoil hats. 
Tinfoil hats prevent mind control from spies & paranormal beings. 
They also limit the transmission of voices directly into the brain. We're gonna make them and have a breakdancing competition. Or something.

Strange Goings On : O'Brien's On Saturday

O'Brien's on Main on Saturday. 9:30 to close. 2941 Main St. Santa Monica, CA 90405
