Hi!

We're pleased to announce that the new Fulton Lights album comes out today.  It's called The Way We Ride.  Catbird Records is releasing the cd and allowing people to download the album directly from them on a pay-what-you-want model.  And Android Eats Records will once again handle the digital via iTunes and eMusic and all that jazz. 

The album can be streamed, downloaded, and purchased here: www.catbirdrecords.com/fultonlights.

Ryan from Catbird called the album "a new line in the sand, sonically, for Fulton Lights.   There are some really intriguing juxtapositions going on with this record.  It's like a team of robot scientists trying to piece together a Sergio Leone Western from dusty celluloid remnants, circa 2208 A.D." 

The Who's Who of Fulton Lights, for the curious:  Produced by Andrew Spencer Goldman.  Alap "Oktopus" Momin (dalek) helped mix it.  The Way We Ride had some Fulton Lights alums from the last record returning to contribute their skills: Still (x-dalek), Karen Waltuch (Foetus, Wilco), Rob Christiansen (East Ghost West Ghost), Steve Silverstein (Christmas Decorations), James Ilgenfritz III.  Plus some recent initiates into the crew: Peter Hess (The Hold Steady, World Inferno Friendship Society), Kristin Mueller (Lucinda Black Bear), Jay Foote (Matt Bauer), Ravish Momin (Trio Tarana), and Gerald Menke (Super Furry Animals, Mercury Rev).  Badasses, every last one.

Here are some solo Fulton Lights dates in Europe, with more to come!

A handful of the songs from the forthcoming Fulton Lights album, The Way We Ride, are up on the band's myspace page.  Go check 'em out! 

Hey all-

Fulton Lights, fresh off the heels of a late December show at Pete's Candy Store that was as invigorating as a jaunt in the icy Hudson, has
been asked to hop on the bill this coming Thursday (1/24) @ Union Hall, in Brooklyn's Park Slope 'hood. The band is excited to have been asked, because: a)Fulton Lights are seasoned amateur bocce players (Boccists? Boccistes.) and will own the Union Hall bocce court; and b)This show will be with a band playing under the name "Impervious," but that isn't actually their name. Their name, well, I can't exactly tell you what it is, since that would defeat the purpose of their playing under the name "Impervious." But I can almost tell you that it rhymes with "Namby Pants Schmimited" and looks something like Am$u&@nce !td. Also playing will be The Redwalls, just dropping by the Big Apple to do a gig on Letterman.

Should be a good one. $8, Fulton Lights on at 10:30.

The second Fulton Lights record is almost done tracking. Bangin', that'd be the word. Mixing in a month or two. Stay tuned!

Hey all-

Long time no talky.  There are a couple things I wanted to powwow with you about.  Year-end Android Eats Records sale, and a call for input on the release format for the next FL album...

 "The Year-End, Need-More-Space-in-my-Apartment, Buy-One-Get-One-Free Holiday Android Eats Records Sale."

1)Buy a Fulton Lights album and get
your choice of a)a second copy of the album to give to a friend (holidays coming up, people!), or b)either a free t-shirt or free poster (both of which are hot and guaranteed to make you and/or your wall look better).  When you place your order you can just shoot me an
email and let me know what you'd like.  Offer good through the end of the year and while supplies last. 

Notes and questions about the next Fulton Lights album, from Mr. Fulton Lights:

 2)Head on over to the Fulton Lights myspace page to read about the recording of the second album, and to respond to a call for input regarding the physical format of the next album.  Here's a snippet: "Let me know what you'd like the next Fulton Lights release to be like. Do you care if it's just mp3s? Would you pay for some kind of unusual release in non-CD form that still somehow provided mp3s? Would you pay a extra for it? How much extra? I'm as lost in the digital wilderness as you are, so I'm calling on you to help a brother out."

True dat.

Due to a severely sprained ankle that occurred during an extremely intense 2-on-2 basketball game, Fulton Lights will not be playing the show on Thursday at Luna Lounge.  The rest of the show is still on and we encourage you to go check out the other great bands.
