Downtown Union - Aurora Ahora + The Henry Clay People Tour with Ben Harper!!!!

[MP3] Downtown/Union - Bright Idea [MP3] Downtown/Union - Wake Up Call from the Nexus of Me and You Downtown / Union have been dear friends for years and TONIGHT they are celebrating the release of their fabulous new album Aurora Ahora. Mouse over at Classical Geek Theatre said it best - They are "the underdog superheroes of the Los Angeles rock world." The band's stripped down Pavement meets The Replacements sound was fleshed out on this record with the addition of Joey and Andy Siara of The Henry Clay People on guitars. The record still highlights their amazing ability to write a killer rock n' roll song while always maintaining a fun happy go lucky vibe with everything they do. Every song they write is a sing a long. Bo and Jeff Electric are seriously my heroes. You can pick up Aurora Ahora at their release show at the Echo Tonight. The Voyeurs, Xu Xu Fang (who are also celebrating their record release) and VoicesVoices will perform.

I think everyone on the east side just let out a huge cheering "FUCK YES" cry! The Clays have also been confirmed to play Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits this year. You can still pick up The Henry Clay People's "Working Part Time" 7 Inch Vinyl Single in the JAXART Store. We're almost SOLD OUT so if you don't have one yet I suggest you pick it up now!
