It’s here!  It’s here!  The long-awaited, highly anticipated, brand new Casey Shea album, In Your Head is now available for the first time ever at the Family Records Store.  You wanna download it straight to your computer as a WAV or MP3?  You got it.  You wanna take the physical route and order a CD?  You got it.  You wanna prove your musical superiority with a badass clear vinyl? (That’s right, I said CLEAR VINYL).  You got it!  We have it all, and we think you should have it too.
If you like what you hear (and I know you will), you can catch Casey on tour opening for Wakey!Wakey! in the UK, or at his album release show at Rockwood Music Hall on November 5th.

Kinesiology 101: Vote For Mother Feather at nyc.thedelimagazine.com

Hi, 

Today I don’t have a lot of time so I’m gonna do this thing called “cut and paste” with an email I got this morning from one Ann Courtney. You should read it and follow the directions. Because I said so. 

I’ll say it. Most of these year-end “best of” lists decided by “tastemakers” are whack. 

Power to the people! The Deli Magazine is putting you in charge of voting for your favorite emerging NYC artist of 2011. Mother Feather is in good company on this list of nominees. If we win the most votes they’ll stick our pretty mugs on the cover of the spring issue and you’ll be able to read about us in any rehearsal space bathroom in the five boroughs! I. WANT. THIS. And I don’t deal well with disappointment. 

We have a ton of exciting sh!t in the pipeline. I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime…vote, motherfeather!  

Clickity click here to vote.

In unrelated news, I’m pretty sure you can buy tickets for the February 10th Mother Feather show at Mercury Lounge starting tomorrow. You should remember to do that. 

In the meantime, you can come down to Rockwood Muzak Hall tonight when I’ll be demonstraing how at 30somethingorother years old I have, to quote my new doctor, Dr. Jonnie, “the blood pressure of a teenager and the pulse of a professional athlete” by playing the 7pm set with one of my favorite singers, the indestructible Kris Gruen, and then running back to The Nunnery to drop of the double bass I use to play with Kris and pick up my electric bass and go back to Rockwood to play in the 9pm set with someone named “Shwa,” whose claim to fame of course is that the former drummer from Cinderella played on his album Chop Chop. 

Cinderalla is the first band I ever saw. And I still think this song totally rocks and if they ever need a bass player I would totally play with them for at least, oh I don’t know, $100 a show and maybe 25 per rehearsal if they can swing it. 

Lastly, for all you insomniacs out there, The Casey Shea band will be simultaneously putting everyone to sleep and earning me some live performance songwriter royalties tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden. See you there. 

Mwah!

P.S. The new Casey Shea album “In Your Head” is conveniently located at places where people buy albums. 

P.P.S. It’s also available as a record record, meaning an LP, or vinyl if you’re nasty. 

P.P.P.S. He promised me that if I got a lot of people to buy it, he would retire next year.

New video for the song “Let It Slide” from the Casey Shea album IN YOUR HEAD…! 

caseysheamusic:

As many of you know, my manager Wes is Dutch.  What you may not know is that his youth was spent listening to hip-hop and gangster rap. (yes really.)  So it should come as no surprise that his writing and directorial video debut involves guns and cappin’ people’s asses.

Luckily only one life was lost during this shoot.  You’ll have to wait till the end to see who the unlucky soul was.

Big thanks to all at Family Records for making this happen.  And a special thank you to Wes, Ms. Kristin Winter and Nicholas Webber.

Enjoy, and please repost, share, etc etc!

Promotion 101: Tonight …

Hi, 

A reminder that Andy Fitzpatrick’s Flying Circus will be performing his tribute to Jeremy Lin at Madison Square Garden tonight at 8pm.  

In related news, earlier today I was killing time whilst getting some windows replaced in ol’ apartemento and decided to finally listen to a few “song” demos from one Casey Shea. What’s that? You never heard of him? Doesn’t really matter. The point is that we’re gonna go into something called “the studio” next week to do something called “record music.” In preparation we’re gonna do something called “rehearse.” I know, it seems like a bad idea to me too. Anyway, I thought I’d share one of his new songs with you and maybe get some feedback before we commit ourselves to this new direction for the band …

 
Be sure to post your comments to caseysheamusic.com.

See you tonight!
