THE SLEEPER PINS REISSUE DEBUT ALBUM!
This month will bring the re-release of the 2003 self-titled debut album by The Sleeper Pins, featuring new artwork and 1 new song! Emperor Penguin Records and the band decided to reissue the album for a few reasons, but mainly due to the fact that the first run of albums were all homemade--CD copies, artwork, and packaging were all done by the band. This first run has long been sold out and out of print; now there will be a new opportunity for old, new, and future fans of The Sleeper Pins to check out the album that started it all!
AARON KERR BIRTHDAY SHOW!
On Friday, Nov. 18th at the Coffee Grounds in St. Paul, MN we will celebrate Aaron Kerr's 40th birthday with a special evening filled with--you guessed it--music! Every band/project Aaron Kerr plays in will be on the bill to celebrate the many creative outlets he performs in: Swallows, The Sleeper Pins, Heavy Pedal Cello, Dissonant Creatures, and JazZen are confirmed, and possibly a few others as well! This promises to be an inspiring night! See website for details...
HEAVY PEDAL CELLO COMING SOON!
Final touches are now being put on the debut release of Emperor Penguin Records' new artist Heavy Pedal Cello and their debut album, "October"! Heavy Pedal Cello is a collaboration between Aaron Kerr and Tyson Allison. Aaron plays his cello which is hooked up to an array of guitar effects pedals manipulated by Tyson, (with a little percussion thrown in when his hands are free). Everything they do is improvised and no performance is ever the same! Neither musician know what the other is going to do at any given time. The guys went into the studio and hit the record button and you will hear the results soon! Stay tuned for more info!
