I am coming back to the U.S. this weekend just in time to see Unwed Sailor and Early Day Miners play in NYC and Brooklyn on 11/12 August. Hopefully I’ll see you at the shows. Aspera has turned in the 5 song audio master for their forthcoming one-sided LP. The cover image and etching are being finalized. Everything is planned for a 1 November purchase neurontin online release to stores. Aspera continue on in the style established by their super hott 2003 release, Oh Fantastica, on Jagjaguwar.

If you don’t know Aspera, you must become close friends as soon as possible. :::scott:::
