Mystery of Two has a new tape for Record Store Day

Record Store day seems to have turned into an all out blitz of new releases and fun events at better independent stores far and wide. Mystery of Two is getting in on the fun with a limited 100 count release of a Cassette EP titled Color Me. The Cassette comes with a digital download code and some crayons so you can in fact color the cover. M2 is the house band for Permanent Records in Brooklyn (Greenpoint) this year. You can grab the cassette there all day and catch band playing in the store at 1 / 3 / 5 / 7. If you're in the Cleveland area Music Saves will also have Color Me available. Go color something . . .

Hot Cha Cha "Bob" Video

Check out this new video from Hot Cha Cha for Bob, a new song off their upcoming record. We're making good progress on the record , should be out this summer so stay tuned.

Some Suggestions from Monk

Scott from Home and Garden passed this along . . . I think it's because of whole " just because you're not the drummer doesn't mean you don't have to keep time" and "make the drummer sound good" parts . . . but hey, he has a point there. If you click on the image it's easier to read, apparently it was written by Steve Lacy, who played with Monk in the 60's.

Next Weekend @ Tower 2012

Well Mystery of Two has been on a break from live shows for a couple months while we work on our record, but as of last night we're back, which is exciting. We're almost done with the record, but in the meantime we're is playing at the Tower 2012 weekend of fun. Friday night is the second lotto league show @ the Beachland, which should be a blast, then Saturday is Deathers, Freedom, Homostupids, a new band that nick is playing with called Film Strip. Sunday night is Mystery of Two, Bird Names, Benny Stoofy, and Passout Knives. Both shows on Saturday and Sunday are at Tower. Check the great flyer that John G made below!

Also if you haven't seen this video . . . it's pretty funny.

Ride the Dolphin

I'm just throwing this out there . . . best record sleeve ever. Nick from Mystery of Two and I recently bought a ton of Lp's for very cheap. The Parliament "Motor Booty Affair" is obviously one of the gems. This is like every holiday wrapped into one image. This is what every Saturday night should be like. Sometimes choices like this need to happen. Take this scenario for instance. You're at home with some down time and you think to yourself, should I do the laundry maybe grab some food for the week? Fuck it, I'll just jump on the dolphins and rock some tunes. As you can see for yourself, the right choice has been reached on this dilemma. As we get ready for 2009 I implore you to " Ride the Dolphin"
