77s "Drowning Naked" Tour & Kickstarter
There is much happening in the world of the 77s, and again much cause for celebration:
Pray Naked. Drowning With Land In Sight. Two benchmark albums from a band that plowed headlong into the 90s with its new lineup of Michael Roe, Mark Harmon, David Leonhardt and Aaron Smith. It was a difficult mid-period for the band, both personally and artistically, but the 77s continued to shine bright and made 2 beloved and classic albums with the lineup. Last year, the 77s and Lo-Fidelity Records remastered and expanded Pray Naked, putting it on Vinyl for the very first time in the process. Many of you were part of that, supporting the Kickstarter and encouraging us along the way. Now, a year later, the 77s and Lo-Fidelity Records will launch a campaign on April 3rd 2017 to reissue Drowning With Land In Sight on remastered/expanded CD and again for the very first time, Vinyl. To celebrate all of this, the 77s (Michael Roe, Mark Harmon, Bruce Spencer and David Leonhardt) will tour from Sunday April 2nd through Thursday April 13th in support of expanded/deluxe reissues of both classic albums. This will be a one-time-only tour, and the band will play the best of both albums. The expanded Pray Naked/Naked Prey 2 CD set, Naked & Unashamed CD, Watchnight Service DVD, and Pray Naked Vinyl will be for sale exclusively on the tour. (Once the tour is over, left-overs will be sold on the 77s Bandcamp page, and digitally worldwide on iTunes, etc.) You will not want to miss this tour. Dates and ticket info can be found here - http://www.77s.com/concerts.html Finally, you may have missed the news that our friends in The Choir are in the midst of their own fundraising campaign and legacy tour. Check out their GoFundMe (www.pledgemusic.com/thechoir) and consider supporting their efforts to reissue their classic late 80s album, Wide Eyed Wonder and fund their upcoming studio album Bloodshot. In celebration of this re-issue and campaign, The Choir have reunited with former bassist Robin Spurs and have hit the road with a special event themed tour performing Wide Eyed Wonder in its entirety. Tour dates are here - www.thechoir.net/tour. We hope to see you on the road in April, and remember to check out the 77s "Drowning With Land In Sight" Kickstarter beginning April 3rd.
