MC Frontalot is at Comic-Con! He’ll be boothing all weekend at Dumbrella (booth 1337, of course) (and not at Topatoco as previously announced – what a roustabout).
Don’t miss him with Random, Zealous1, Dr. Awkward and DJ Swamp, at the Ruby Room, Friday night! Details are on the page where details go.
You may now pre-order Solved from the CD page and download the whole thing right away. Isn’t technology marvelous? If you’re the noncommittal type, perhaps you should listen to the album’s preview single, Critical Hit, the better to feel like an informed consumer.
There are other happenings afoot, all of them in the store. The Zero Day shirt is finally available to you, the non-concert-attending public. There’s a new sticker in the sticker pack, several new posters in the poster pack, a limited-edition autographed PAX'08 DVD set, and a general sense of well-being to be had simply from window-shopping. Take a peek.
Front has been mucking about with this Google+ thing for a couple weeks now and he thinks it is pretty okay!Circle him up.
The kickstarter has kicked off to a mighty fine start! Front is still quite keen to get all three videos funded, so pass the virtual hat around if you want any of the fabulous prizes offered.
Are you in or near Los Angeles on July 18th, 19th, and/or 20th? Want to be an extra in the first video for the new album? HECK YES YOU DO. Drop a mail to video@frontalot.com and a production coordinator will get back to you soon.
Second Comic-Con show is slated for Saturday night, with SMBC and pals. Details to come!
Frontalot is trying to make some amazing videos for the next album. You can help him out at his kickstarterpage, and get all sorts of ridiculous kickbacks such as: a DVD, your name in the credits, a song about the topic of your choice, a concert in your home.
This Friday (7/8), tune in to IFC at 11 (10 Central) to see Front on Young, Broke & Beautiful, running around Boston, performing at PAX East, making fun of art, and drinking.
San Diego is a go! The show’s at the Ruby Room on 7/22 with MegaRan, Dr Awkward, ZeaLouS1, and DJ Swamp. And Front’s at Comic-Con all weekend, with his kind hosts Topatoco. Come visit at booth 1229.
The fall tour continues to shape up. Examine the details.
Front’s headed to California for a few weeks! Comic-Con show to be announced shortly.
This Monday, please stop by Littlefield in Brooklyn to see Frontalot perform a few songs to close out the next Hot Tub (Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler’s comedy and music cabaret). Tickets will run you your paltriest fiver.
The fall tour takes shape! Dates are added to the info page as they are confirmed. The basic outline is this: August 12th departure, Front and bandmates blazing bravely westward across the northern portion of our fair land, PAX in seattle on the 25th or 26th*, then down the coast and into the southwest, reaching KoL Con by September 10th. Then! Front opens for Wheatus in the UK in September and October (those tickets also trickle onto the advance sales page), returning in mid-to-late October to pick up again with Texas, the southerly state, the eastern seaboard, new england, and finally a hometown New York City show on November 20th.
Whew.
The new album Solved meets its official release on August 23rd. Presales will be up and running considerably sooner. Twitter, Facebook, and the mailing list will be your vectors of maximum alertness.
The new album (SOLVED) is in the can. The can in this case does not mean toilet, instead meaning ‘container in which one places things that are completed.’ Because it is completed! The track list was Twitx0red, and has beencopypasta’d to the bbs.
It comes out in August, but you will be enjoying the pre-order with 'instant’ download in early July. Stay tuned!
Meanwhile, the current album (Zero Day) remains a beautiful and cost-effective way to Get Your Front On. Pleasebuy several hundred copies (or just one) so that Front can keep paying rent in the interim.
Fall touring! August and Sept in the USA, Sept and Oct in the UK, then back to the colonies for Oct and Nov. The UK shows (with Wheatus!) are slowly going on sale. Again, staying tuned is your best bet.
Front’s on two tribute albums this summer! Weird Al and They Might Be Giants. How predictable.
Front is ‘leaking’ (aka 'posting’) the track titles and song summaries for the next album SOLVED on Twitter this week. Follow him for all the 'action,’ or keep an eye on the #SOLVED tag, where people who’ve never heard of nerdcore discuss the solutions to their own conundrums, accidentally promoting our MC’s upcoming CD in the process.
Don’t accidentally not go see Front’s several cameos in The People Versus George Lucas, a documentaryplaying in New York starting tomorrow (and in various other US towns at various other US times).
The new album takes shape! Front is sequestered in the studio, and he drags Baddd Spellah, Gm7, andBrendan B. Brown along with him on the production rollercoaster. The result will thrill and astound. Also astounding? Evan Dorkin is set to illustrate the cover, with Becky Dreisdadt doing the back cover.
Front is not so very sequestered as to neglect his Anime Boston show on Sunday (4/24) and his Detroit(ish) show on Thursday (4/28). He will be at each of these performances, performing. Will he see you there?
