So the new Big Phony album “Kicking Punching Bags” has officially dropped today (1/26/10).  Not by any official standard really.  It’s just a date I came up with.  The album is now available on iTunes and on other safe and popular downloading sites.  iTunes has these cool options where you can share the album on your Facebook and Twitter, or even “gift a friend” (wink wink).  You can also purchase a physical copy (first 100 signed by Big Phony) of the album off the site here.

Download at sites like:

or at: .com

Before I go any further, let me just say… if you are reading this message and happen to be related to me or we are friends, you are absolutely obligated to purchase this album and tell people about it.  If I find out that you haven’t, then there will be words.  Ha ha, just kidding… kind of.

Thank you so much to those that got a hold of the album during the pre-sale last week!  There were just a handful of people that took advantage of that but in case you missed out we’ve decided to make the pre-sale bundle deals available for another week.  You can check those out at the Big Phony Store here.  Get a Big Phony tote bag, or what I like to call “Kicking Punching Tote Bags!”  I’ll stop.

“Kicking Punching Bags” was produced by Jason Hiller at Walden Recordings in Beverly Hills, CA.  We started recording back in December of 2008 and it took us just a few months to track the album, so we’ve been waiting quite some time to get this out there.  I’d say it’s a pretty nice and laid back piece of work.  For all of the songs we only laid down a few takes and used no click tracks.  Personally I think it made the album sound more natural and less cookie cutter or contrived.  Downside is, it makes it harder to add techno beats for Big Phony dance remixes.  Oh well, hope you guys enjoy it!  You can preview a few of the tracks in its entirety on the Big Phony MySpace page.

Please spread the Big Phony word!  If you do happen to like the new Big Phony album in any capacity at all please do tell your friends.  Even if just to say “it’s not as bad as I thought it would be.”  That would be helpful.  Feel free to burn it for your friends that can’t afford to purchase it or that just don’t want to purchase one.  Thanks guys.

What next?  Not entirely sure what I’m doing next.  Not really promoting this album to be honest because I don’t really know how to do that kind of stuff.  I am writing more these days so hopefully I’ll get started on the next project really soon.  By the way, thank you to everyone that got a hold of tickets for the Album Release Show at The Hotel Cafe (2/11).  My first Sold-Out show there, with 3 weeks still left till the big day.  Unreal.

Thanks for stopping by guys.  Have a nice day.
