Show in SF this Wednesday

Well, Farewell Fans, it's been an exciting month. Our very own Steve Slater was married about a week ago, and Mr. Jason Countryman and Mr. Grant Shellen played some delicious jazz tunes at the ceremony. Audie was there, too, but his role was to merely look good. And I'll be darned if he wasn't downright gorgeous.

But matrimony aside, we're all back in the game and ready to deliver the goods. This week, in fact. We're playing at the Elbo Room with our friends Good People on Wednesday, Sept. 26. We hope you'll join us for a lovely evening. We're on first @ 9:30.

Writing, relaxing, counting cash

Hello friends. We're very pleased with the way our last two shows (in San Jose and Oakland) went. We remembered most of our gear, played many of the notes that are in our songs, and generally had a non-terrible time. We hope the scores of you that showed up did, too.

We don't have any gigs booked for a short bit, but we're not just lazing about drinking apple-tinis. Sure, we're doing that, but we're also writing new songs for your aural enjoyment.

If you haven't already purchased your copy of the Selfish EP, we'd like to remind you that you can do so for the low price of $6 + $2 shipping, which is a total of $8. If you're really impatient, you can pay a few extra bucks for shipping. All of this is possible at the Farewell Typewriter store. Talk to you soon.

Show TONIGHT in Oakland

Hey friends. If you're on the mailing list, you know about this, but just in case, we're playing at Oakland's lovely Uptown Nightclub & Bar (21+, sorry young 'uns) tonight. We're playing with friends 8PAST and The Actors. The club is sweet and so are you if you come see us.

Rocking is easy, maintaining a website is hard

So never mind that this post is a couple of weeks late, but we thought we'd let you know that we had a blast at our CD release show at Cafe du Nord last month. We appreciate all of you who showed up to support us, and we had a great time sharing the stage with Gooferman & Trainwreck.

We've got another show coming up this Wednesday at the Voodoo Lounge in downtown San Jose. Details here for any South Bayers who would like to attend.

Perhaps the most exciting news of all is that no matter where you reside, you can experience Farewell Typewriter for yourself by purchasing our debut CD, the Selfish EP. It's available on our store page. Six beautiful songs for six measly dollars (+ shipping).

We've also created an official Farewell Typewriter YouTube channel to share videos of our live performances and the occasional interview or FT vignette. Watch and enjoy.

CD + shows!

Though we thought this day might never come, we have in our possession several million copies of our debut EP, which goes by the name Selfish.

Not only does it sound great, it looks gorgeous. I recommend buying one for listening and several hundred more to use as wallpaper in your home, cubicle or medical office.

The even more fantastic news is that you'll be able to purchase a copy at our CD release party June 24 @ 8 p.m. at San Francisco's Cafe du Nord. We're excited about this show because it's with the super-awesome Trainwreck, which features Kyle Gass of Tenacious D. Gooferman also plays, but your friends Farewell Typewriter go on first.

If you're not in the San Francisco area or have some lame excuse like your grandmother's 90th birthday party, you'll be able to purchase our CD (or digital files, if you swing that way) online very soon. We'll let you know when those details emerge.

We've got shows booked in San Jose and Oakland coming up, too, so be sure to check our shows page regularly (and join our mailing list and/or be our MySpace friend) to stay abreast of hot news.
