Happy 2008, show in SF on Thurs. 1/10

Happy new year from Farewell Typewriter. Our 2008 resolution? To rock people with greater intensity and frequency than we have in any prior year. We hope you're ready.

Let us begin making good on this resolution by inviting you to our show this Thursday at the Rockit Room in San Francisco. We play at 9:30 p.m. sharp, and immediately following our set, you can cast a vote for us to move on to the next round in the Emergenza Festival, an international "battle of the bands." If all goes well, we'll be recording in Sweden and touring with the Vans Warped Tour in no time.

Tickets are $10 in advance (contact your favorite band member or email us at info AT farewelltypewriter DOT com) and $15 at the door. And let not auld acquaintance be forgot. Whatever that means.

Show this Wednesday + new merch

Two quick updates:

1. We're playing this Wednesday at the VooDoo Lounge in San Jose. Show's at 9, we're on at 10:30. It's $5 and 21+. We've added a couple of new tunes to the set and we're pretty sure they'll bounce around in your heads for a while after the show.

2. You can buy yourself or a loved one a Farewell Typewriter thong (or any number of other FT-themed products) at the official Farewell Typewriter CafePress shop.

We'll have some more exciting news soon, but for now, have a lovely holiday season and don't ever stop believin'.

Press darlings

Friends, it is an exciting time at Farewell Typewriter HQ. Our debut EP, Selfish, has been reviewed in the latest issue of West Coast Performer magazine. Check it out here (naturally, you will need to scroll down close to the bottom).

This is a fine opportunity to remind you that you may purchase the now critically acclaimed listened-to Selfish EP at our online store.

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.
