The Ballantynes hit the road this week for their West Coast summer tour with pals Sweet Pups from Seattle. Facebook group here.

And while we have you:

• The Ballantynes are taking the last copies of The Message/The Railtown Abbey 7″ on tour with them; otherwise, this one is now sold out!
• Pre-order pack UPDATE: due to a bottleneck at the pressing plant and a test pressing that needed to be redone, we’ve been put behind schedule. The regular editions of The Ballantynes Misery/Stay and the Needles//Pins 7″ are now available, but still 2-3 weeks for the other three. Rest assured, there’s no color vinyl leaking–we’ll sit on the color copies of the two and the pinpack, wait on the three to arrive, and get those out to you the second they’re ready. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding: it’ll be worth the wait!
