Blind Eyes News- June 4th

This past couple of weeks have been full of cool happenings, and we owe it all to you:

Firstly, the album has been getting a ton of airplay. Thanks to our friends at KDHX for spinning it and we’re really glad you like it enough to play it as much as you do. Also, thanks again to our good friend (understatement of the century) Annie Zaleski for spinning us on, of all places, The Point! Our first bit of commercial airplay ever! Now we know what Nickelback feels like. Speaking of radio stuff, we had a blast playing live on Juxtaposition last night! For more on that, see the post below this one.

To that end, every copy of our album- plus all our t-shirts have sold out at Vintage Vinyl, were restocked, and are on their way to selling out again! Thanks to everyone that has gone out and picked one up. You guys are the best.

Plus, to everyone that has voted for us (or is planning to) in the 2009 Riverfront Times Music Awards for Best Pop Band- thanks again! Remember, you have until June 7th to cast your vote. Most importantly, make sure to come see us at the showcase- Cicero’s at 8 pm.

Cheers,tBE

Also, we should take this time to thank all the KDHX DJs that have been playing "Modernity"! We really appreciate it.

Fan quote of the day from Amie in St. Louis: "heard you on the radio today while driving to a meeting...modernity. woot woot!"

See? It's catching on!

Thanks again to Nate and Jason for helping make it happen. The picture shown at left is an insanely crappy cell-phone shot, but there will be better ones posted here soon.

Jason And Nate Fan Club

We at Blind Eyes HQ have got to take a second to acknowledge the awesome work of two of our close friends, Jason Potter and Nathan Prater who totally went above and beyond in putting together some awesome new stuff for us in a pinch. These will both be available for viewing soon in the front window of Vintage Vinyl (the yellow Modernity posters will be up soon in other spots around town), but here's a sneak peek. If you're in need of graphic design and/or print work, we seriously cannot recommend these two duedz enough.
