Holy crap people -- there's an election tomorrow.

Also, this coming weekend I'll be heading across the "pond" (Atlantic Ocean) to the UK and Spain, guitar and uke in hand, to play a handful of pretty fantastic solo shows. Here they are:

*** Friday, November 7th -- The Dulcimer -- Manchester, UK

*** Sunday, November 9th -- The Windmill Brixton (w/ Windmill) -- London, UK

*** Monday, November 10th -- Chess Club @ the Social (w/ It Hugs Back) -- London, UK

*** Wednesday, November 12th -- Tanned Tin Festival -- Castellon, Spain

If you live in any of these countries, come to these shows and say HI -- I'd basically melt into a puddle of joy to meet people who like ARMS and live in foreign countries.

SATURDAY, JULY 5th, 2008

Happy day after your birthday, America! So here's what's happening: After playing my songs by myself for way, way too long, I've finally put a band together. It's got members of three of my favorite bands in the world -- Get Him Eat Him (Jeff Wood, drums; Joe Posner, bass), Frances (Brian Betancourt, guitar), and Harlem Shakes (Kendrick Strauch, keyboards; Me, guitar and singing). We'll be playing a bigass RECORD RELEASE PARTY on Tuesday, July 29th at Union Pool in Williamsburg. This will be your first and possibly only time to see ARMS as a 'real' band, people, so let's pop some fucking champagne and play some sadass pop songs. (It's also a nice way to pick up a hard copy of the CD, which isn't easy to come by in the old US of A.)

MONDAY, JUNE 30th, 2008

The album, KIDS AFLAME, is now available pretty everywhere in both the UK and the INTERNET. There are a few links below, but if you just GOOGLE SEARCH that bad boy you should come across some means of attaining the damn thing.

SUNDAY, JUNE 15th, 2008

So, even though the record isn't "technically" out until June 30th, KIDS AFLAME is now available for download at ITUNES and EMUSIC (along with a few of the other usual digital-type sites). You can also buy it in real, gorgeous physical form from the MELODIC SHOP online store. (Leah Beeferman did the art, she rules it.) Go! Buy! Listen! Enjoy! This is a very exciting day.

THURSDAY, MAY 29th, 2008

Save that date: ARMS' first full-length record, KIDS AFLAME, comes out on June 30th, 2008 on melodic records. In the meantime, check out a few songs from the album on ARMS' MYSPACE PAGE.
