ANTHONY RANERI (BAYSIDE) RELEASES NEW DEMO

While BAYSIDE’s vocalist/guitarist Anthony Raneri is looking forward to recording the follow-up to 2008’s SHUDDER, he’s not sitting idly. Always bustling with creativity, he has unleashed a brand new demo, “The Ballad of Bill the Saint”, on his personal MySpace page (www.myspace.com/anthonyraneri).

Tour, which also includes solo acoustic performances by Dustin Kensrue (Thrice), Matt Pryor (The Get Up Kids, The New Amsterdams), and Chris Conley (Saves The Day, Two Tongues). The inaugural tour that kicked off in January 2009 included ten dates in the Midwest, all of which sold out. The four singers sat in during each other’s sets, creating a unique and special event for fans.

The dates for the 2010 Where’s the Band? Tour are:
Jan 07 – West Hollywood, CA @ the Troubador
Jan 08 – San Diego, CA @ House of Blues
Jan 09 – Anaheim, CA @ House of Blues

Released on November 10th, 2009 by Team Science, the four-song EP is available in both 10-inch vinyl and digital formats. The label has pressed 500 copies (200 clear, 300 black) and each record includes a free mp3 download for all the songs, plus a pullout poster insert and an exclusive new short story by Nicolay entitled “Paraska Mikhailivna Is A Witch.”

To grab a copy of the 10-inch, go here. Or if you prefer mp3s, you can take a quick trip to iTunes for a digital version of the EP.

Featuring artwork by Nicholas Gazin, St. Sebastian Of The Short Stage comes on the heels of Nicolay’s acclaimed solo debut, Major General. The four brand new tracks include a collaboration with the Dresden Dolls on a cover of Jonathan Richman’s “New England,” a Watchmen-inspired tribute to a retired superhero, and two songs self-described as “bleeding heart weepies.”
