We are releasing a brand new EP! On Jan. 15th, the Eyeball EP lands on streaming sites and our download store. It includes the songs Eyeball, The Glamour of Rock, and an instrumental called Peggy Guggenheim that spotlights the horn section blasting off and could complement most movie chase scenes. The Elegant Too have also contributed a remix of Eyeball to round things out. This blast from the present is just a warm up round for our all new, all banger LP coming in very early spring. (More on that later. Watch this space!)
If you follow our Spotify, Apple Music, or other streaming accounts, you will get notice right away,
This is the cover art –– feel free to post it far and wide on all your social media accounts. We want to spread the word the EP is coming.
We also are happy to announce we will be performing multi-night stands in Woodstock NY, Indianapolis, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Boston.
The dates and ticketing information will be shared at the end of next week. As has been our way in recent years, it is “An Evening with," which means no opener. Almost every night we are on stage playing at 8pm. The opening set will spotlight a different album each night, and we will make a point of changing up the second sets from night to night just for the recidivists and ourselves.
2 sets. 3 horns. 8-piece band. Starts early. Gets loud.
This week's best selling shirt
This week we are pre-gaming for the
FLOOD RELEASE ANNIVERSARY HAPPENING JANUARY 15th
We are putting stuff on sale—use the code INLOVEAGAIN
and get 15% off all of these items:
We have vinyl in many variations! Black vinyl, “multiverse” AND picture disc.
There are many Flood logo shirts—including a new variant on “kiwi” which, yes, is a real color,
as well as Kelly green and dark navy heather. We also have the beautiful, "all-over” green shirt but there are only four left.
We have Flood cassettes, buttons, socks, keychains, magnets, and patches!
We have this beautiful canvas tote, which we can attest works great as a record bag.
And, finally, there is the exclusive Flood Live in America download (not to be found on streaming sites) including a live demonstration of stelluB, along with new studio versions of Hearing Aid and They Might Be Giants.
Signed posters are on sale! We have this magnificent Horn design from the desk of Dave Plunkert available with dates from the Spring 2025 Tour, the West Coast 2025 Tour, and with no dates at all –– all hand-signed by John and John!
There are also three different and equally beautiful Fillmore posters on sale (also hand-signed by John and John!) but, again, these are very limited quantities (less than 10 of each remain) so once they are gone it seems they will be gone forever.
