Congratulations. You are invited to a musical revolution. On August 29, 2009, we will unleash the power of our second album, The Ancient Cry of the Tyrannosaur, live at The EARL in Atlanta, GA. To celebrate, we've planned a rock and roll revival that will set your soul on fire. We're talking about an evening of pure, unadulterated rock music that will boil the very marrow of your bones! Woodstock? Altamont? The 100 Club? Yeah, something along those lines.

First up we've got Tendaberry, from right here in the ANTA! They've got a new wave/post-punk sound unlike any you've heard before. You better show up with your dancing shoes on, because the mere sound of their music will have your body involuntarily gyrating to the beat. Who's next, you ask? None other than the greatest country band in Athens, GA, The Bearfoot Hookers! If you haven't been to a Hookers show, then you don't know the first thing about a rock and roll revival. These boys play beer drinkin' gospel! By the end of their set, Rev. Tybo will have you all on your knees, taking a communion of pork rinds and PBR.

Finally, after you've all been whipped into a drunk, circle-pitting frenzy, Attractive Eighties Women will take the stage... FOR OUR LAST SHOW OF THE YEAR.

That's right. The last Attractive Eighties Women show of 2009. We're taking a break -- a four-month hiatus from performing to seek audience with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. We will be working with the Yogi to develop a new form of transcendental meditation, based on the visualization of large boobs with symmetrical areolae.

We've been preparing extensively for our trip to India in between rehearsals, mostly by eating Trader Joe's Paneer Tikka Masala. It seems to be working wonders for us, spiritually and as a band. The other day - as a direct result of the Yogi's breast visualization techniques - Kelly McGillis actually levitated 2-3 inches off the ground while playing the solo in "Death Skull Napalm Sword."

We vow to return, ready to rock by January 2010, refreshed and renewed by our time with the Yogi and our visions of beautiful bouncing jugs. Maybe we'll play a surprise show here or there. Who knows? But this CD release party is guaranteed to be the last REAL Attractive Eighties Women show for some time. SO YOU'D BETTER BE THERE! Tickets are just $8! Click here to buy them in advance!

...and did I mention that you get a free copy of our new album, The Ancient Cry of the Tyrannosaur, just for showing up?!

We'll be playing a bunch of our new songs and a bunch of old favorites. Expect the unexpected, including some new cover songs and special guest performers! This is going to be our most legendary performance since our last CD release party. If you are an AEW fan, you won't want to miss it. See you there!

xoxo,
Phoebe Cates
