Come join us and help the relief efforts in Haiti!

“They incorporate some wonderfully poppy elements, none more so than the achingly gorgeous vocal harmonies – the lead singers, Jace Krause and Hannah Williams complement each other perfectly. They’re playful with ooohs and aaahs but keep the sound grounded enough so that we can listen seriously.”

Portland’s KINK 101.9 FM will be featuring Friday Mile on their local music spotlight on Wednesday (1/6/10) night at 9:30 PM.

The good news: you don’t have to be in Portland to listen. You can stream KINK on the Internet and listen to the station live. Tune in and don’t miss out!

According to the KINK web site, our friends Weinland were featured on Dec 30, and Portland’s favorite cocktail-inspired band, Pink Martini, were featured on the last day of 2009.

Enjoy the nice clean layout, and all the extra features. Listen to some of the music and feel free to download Autograph, available for absolutely nothing. We’ll soon have additional features, so come back often.

We are happy to be included on the most recent edition of KEXP’s Music That Matters podcast. This podcast touches on the latest and greatest stuff that KEXP is digging.

This week’s episode is curated by DJ Cheryl Waters and includes tracks from other great bands like Maps, Beach House, People Under the Stairs, Feral Children, and Elba. I’m listening right now, and it’s a good mix of stuff. Friday Mile is nestled right in the middle of the tracklist. Find out which song they chose by listening at KEXP (right side of page under Music That Matters) or subscribe on iTunes. Or, just download the entire show on MP3.

If you like what you hear, be sure to donate to KEXP whenever you can. They are listener-supported and music lovers around the world are better for having this station around. They do amazing things for the Seattle music community.

And if you find yourself in Queen Anne, step into Easy Street Records’ awesome store and go straight to the Fs in the Pop/Rock section. That’s where you’ll find us. We aren’t on the listening station there (yet), but we’ll let you know when that happens.

For the record, SW called Good Luck Studio a “a clean, smartly arranged album.”

We are happy to unveil the latest Ty Kalberg-designed product: a short run of tri-blend American Apparel track shirts with a Friday Mile splatter design. We have a v-neck gray shirt for women and a charcoal black crew neck for men. They are also very soft, which means you’ll be really comfortable while wearing them. Your comfort is our passion.

We will sell these at the CD release shows this weekend (don’t forget to attend). After that, we’ll put them up in our store.

Friday Mile’s newest LP, “Good Luck Studio,” is finally here. Come join us in Seattle or Portland as we celebrate our latest achievement on November 13-14!

This is your first chance to get your hands on the 10-song LP and see the new songs performed live, along with some old favorites. We will even have some guest musicians joining us at the Seattle show.

In addition to the new album, we will have commemorative posters and new t-shirts for sale. See you there!

We are offering a limited run of deluxe packages of Good Luck Studio, designed by Ty Kalberg. Each package includes Good Luck Studio, along with three unique screenprinted GLS singles with one b-side (Lives of Strangers/Jackpot Days, Funny Thing/Even I, FYI/Perfect Square) and a limited-edition screenprinted GLS poster. That’s FOUR CDs and ONE poster. We have 100 of these packages available. They cost $35 (plus $6 shipping, if applicable).

This will be the only way to buy the new album until our release shows.

You can have this package shipped to you, or pick it up at one of our CD release shows at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle (11/13/09) or Mississippi Studios in Portland (11/14/09). Questions? Email Jace (jacekrause at gmail) and he will provide an answer.

Buy the package through PayPal below. PayPal is a third-party secure website that handles our transactions. You do NOT need a PayPal account to make a purchase. Your address is required regardless if you have it delivered or picked up (just in case you miss the show). NOTE: You will get charged $1 for shipping even if you arrange pickup; this is a quirk in the system, but we’ve adjusted the prices to accommodate for this.
