"Hi everyone. We know this looks like a lot of text to read, but hear us out:
Our new record "The Modest Revolution" is scheduled for release on March 30th.
It's the best album we've ever written. We think you'll agree.
We just can't wait anymore. March 30th is just too far away. We're as impatient as you are. Probably MORE impatient.
So without further ado, here's a free song:
When we say we're "releasing" it, we mean that in the most literal sense. It's free, downloadable and yours to share with anyone and everyone. After all, we recorded it with your money!
This is the first of four such releases. You'll be getting a free song a week, every Monday in February. All four will be DRM-free, high-quality tracks. We encourage you to send them to every single person who you imagine might like them.
If you feel so inclined, there is one specific way you can help us out. It's not hard, and it'll only take a few minutes. We want to conscript all of you as our publicists for a coordinated blitz, to push our songs out into the world!
Each Monday, we humbly ask you to jump on your computer at exactly 6 pm Eastern and share the week's single with your friends, family, coworkers, online gaming buddies, knitting forums or WWE fan-fiction blogs. Anywhere you can think of that fans of music might gather online, post a link to our single or, better yet, embed the SoundCloud player for easy streaming and downloading! Pin it. Tweet it. Tumble it. The more places we can have the song shared at the same moment, the more likely we are to attract new ears.
Later each Monday evening (7 pm Eastern) we'll be hosting live Google Hangouts with special guests where you can come chat with us about the week's song or just share pictures of cats in funny costumes. We'll keep you updated on the number of plays and downloads the single is getting and we can all watch the numbers climb together!
With your help, and the help of music fans like you, our songs will be EVERYWHERE this February. This is the year of the Haggis, and it's going to be an exciting one.
Thanks for your time, your support and your unbelievable loyalty. Haggis Heads rule.
-ETH"
"Wanna listen to our whole new album?
Food. Refreshments. A start-to-finish listen through of "The Modest Revolution", complete with live commentary and a Q&A with all five members of the band, plus producer Zach McNees. All in the comfort of the beautiful Center For The Arts in Natick, MA..
ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
How can we sweeten this deal?
Oh, right. You also get a fresh-baked copy of the album, plus a copy of the newspaper which inspired it. All for $50.
This is an afternoon event, so it won't interfere with your St. Patrick's Day plans (should you have any). If you like, you can stick around for our show at the venue that night (show tickets are extra, sorry).
If you're interested, you can read all about it (and purchase tickets) here:
See you there!
(Oh, and don't forget - we're releasing a new FREE SINGLE on Monday afternoon!)"
