10/27Post-Tour Whirlwind Blog – And T-Shirts Now Available For Standalone Purchase

Hey all, BB here. It’s been six weeks since we posted here on the front page – the CD release and the U.S. East Coast/Canada/Chicago tour were such whirlwinds that time just got away from us. Sorry about that!

It’s been a wild ride since the record came out. We are all amazed and super-grateful at the incredible response to the debut disc. And the tour, although all too brief, was a huge success, thanks to the many folks who came out to the shows. It was hard for us to believe that we were just a band with our first record out for only a week, because the crowds made us feel like we’d been together for years. On behalf of Guthrie, Marco, and me: thanks so much for that. It meant the world.

A quick note about the webstore: Many people had been asking when we were going to have Aristocrats t-shirts up for standalone purchase (not as part of a package). Ask and ye shall receive: We’ve got ’em up now. Check it out on the Store page.

In the meantime, each Aristocrat is off on their separate Aristocratic way for the rest of the year. But we’re working hard to bring the band to as many corners of the world as possible in 2012. We’ll be back in early 2012 for some U.S. west coast action, and then in March it’s off to the U.K. – Guthrie’s homeland! – for the start of a Western Europe/Middle East run. Then, in May, we’re off to the Far East to some truly exotic places. You’ll know more when we do. In the meantime, check the Tours page for the latest info.

Once again, thanks for a great launch, and as Marco would say: Boing, we did it. :-)
