How to Get the New Canadian Invasion Album


In the old days, we used to sneak into record stores and leave copies of our albums in hopes that someone would mistakenly alphabetize them. Since we've moved up in the world a bit, with the release of our new disc THREE CHEERS FOR THE INVISIBLE HAND, you will be able to get your hands on the disc much more easily.

More CD Release Show Goodies!

One of my favorite parts of doing a CD release show going all out and getting a really cool poster designed specifically for the show. For the Three Cheers release party, our pal Jay Weyler designed an awesome poster that makes we think of a ghostly Partridge Family, which I would argue is the kind of thought good posters inspire. Check it out...



As you probably well known the gig goes down Saturday, March 14th at 9pm at Philly's World Cafe Live. Hope you can join us for this special milestone!

Yours

Three Cheers CD Release Party Details!

Friends,

I'm happy to announce that CI has just locked down the details of our gala blast to celebrate the release of our new album, THREE CHEERS FOR THE INVISIBLE HAND! If you've never been to a Canadian Invasion CD release party, you can expect door prizes, special guests, great music, and a very special performance by CI!

The party goes down at the beautiful World Cafe Live on Saturday, March 14th. This is poised to be our biggest gig of the year, so if you only make it out to one CI show this year, make it this one!

You can purchase tickets in advance from the World Cafe site by clicking HERE. Or you can get them at the door. We've tried to keep the door cost low ($10 + a $3 service charge) because we want everyone who has supported us over the years--and you new folks too-- to be able to join us for this big event.

Thanks as always for helping us pursue this insane dream,

Andy
