SPREAD THE WORD AND GET IN FOR FREE!
One of the best things about touring is getting the chance to meet cool new people and introduce them to our music (also Waffle House). We want to encourage you to help spread the word… so for any show on this tour, bring three friends and your ticket is on us! There may or may not be a group hug waiting for you at the venue as well. Just email us beforehand and we’ll make it happen.

NEW VIDEO – ALEX WONG/ANDREW NEMR JAM
As a thank you for reading, here’s a little gift for you…My friend (and tap dance virtuoso) Andrew Nemr was in town during Nashville’s recent snowmaggeddon and we got stuck inside my house during a storm. Naturally, hijinks ensued, in the form of a living room percussion/tap jam. Here’s the video proof of said hijinks. Enjoy:)

I can’t wait to see you on the road!

The Latest in 2015: New projects, new releases

Alex has been working with Paper Raincoat collaborator Amber Rubarth and former Animators bandmate Devon Copley on The Paper Raincoat musical, the theatrical realization of the original story that inspired the eponymous 2009 album. They presented narrative excerpts and songs to a sold-out showcase audience at Stage Werx Theatre in San Francisco on May 3.

Bay Area singer-songwriter Megan Slankard‘s new album, Running on Machinery, which was produced and arranged by Alex, was released on May 19. The album is available on iTunes and CD Baby.

Alex and singer-songwriter Sierra Noble were asked to write a song for the Children’s Justice Campaign. “I’ll Sing For You” will be available on iTunes soon. In the meantime, the song can be streamed on Sierra’s website player.

Alex has started a side project with new friend Korby Lenker.  The music is equal parts B-52s, Violent Femmes, and Eminem.  Listen to “I Wanna Drive” and  stay tuned for the debut EP coming later this year. “This particular song features (previously) classy singer-songwriter Sierra Noble spitting rhymes and shrieking like a boss.”

For the months of May and June 2015, all proceeds from Alex’s Bandcamp page will go toward relief efforts in Nepal.
