Hello my friends,
As you can see on our web site's front page (
www.nakatomiplaza.com), our new and final album
GHOSTS is available right now until August 31 as a free / pay-what-you-like download. So go ahead, take it! All we ask is that if you do like it, then please tell your friends about it.
There's also a donation option too. This final album and our upcoming final tour are completely self-financed, so any donations would be greatly appreciated.
You'll also be able to buy GHOSTS on CD (which has a really beautiful layout done by our good friend Jon Loudon and essays from each band member) directly from us on the final tour.
For the final tour (which we've dubbed The Coda Tour, Aug 31 - Sept 12), we have been rehearsing the following songs:
from GHOSTS:
Bomb Shelter
The Ghost Intrigue
Artificial Light
Pigs Will Pay (Redux)
Guards
It Came From Outside
4017
Requiem
Words
Song For Al
The Finish Line
from UNSETTLED:
A Manifest Destiny Grows In Brooklyn
Not Hopeless
Calling All Cars
The Strikes
Undefined
(Don't) Close Your Eyes
from PRIVATE PROPERTY:
Meanwhile in Greenpoint...
Bike Rock Revolution
Miguel
Consider this a hostile takeover
If you'll be attending one of the upcoming shows and you'd like to hear one or more of these particular songs then please get in touch and let us know which show(s) you're coming to and which song(s) you want us to play and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
And finally, we've organized a pretty amazing "going away" party for ourselves entitled
Buddy Fest (aka our last 2 shows ever).
Buddy Fest will take place on Fri Sept 11 (eve) and Sat Sept 12 (all day) at Shea Stadium (20 Meadow St. in Brooklyn, NY). Advance tickets are available at the "shows" page of
www.nakatomiplaza.com. Due to the nature of this event and because space is limited, we strongly encourage people to buy advance tickets ASAP (especially if you're traveling from far away). We have an amazing line-up planned for this and our upcoming tour; see below for all the details!
