The Dreadful Yawns album release show is Saturday August 16th at the Beachland Tavern.  The Lp, Cd, and Poster with download code will all be ready for you to devour,  hope to see you there. 

Oh how does the time fly.

We'd like to send a big thank you to K. Ward for the Hot Cha Cha pics in the Laundromat. . .   check them out under the photos section here.

"...If there is such a thing as karma, the Dreadful Yawns will get the recognition and momentum they deserve for their beautiful, unique sound. When that day comes and the Yawns are as big as Rilo Kiley, the nameless sound guy and I will tell our tale of the intimate set we witnessed to all the yuppie hipsters who’ll claim they knew of the Dreadful Yawns way before the group got its much-deserved musical props."

Whooooooo.  Cleveland just got nailed with snow.    Like a foot, no joke.    Mu girlfriend and I spend most of Saturday helping people get unstuck from in front of our apartment and then took the train through the winter wonder land to see a film downtown,  the cinema was  just about the only thing open.  . .  Mystery of Two, roue, The Dreadful Yawns and Spanish Prisoners,  who happen to be in town for the night,  all had to cancel shows.  Bummer.    

On a warmer note the ESR team is heading to Austin for SXSW so if you are too  look for the black Exit Stencil Bags clipping around the fest.    Here's to better weather and about a million bands.
