*NEW YEAR: 2008 Recap *2nd Annual ALBINO! Warehouse Party: Sat Jan 17 in Oakland *Feb Northwest Tour (a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)(a!)( HAPPY NEW YEAR and thanks to all who made it to our sold out New Years Eve show in Sebastopol, and to everyone who made 2008 another fantastic year for the band. Here were some of the highlights... 2008 HIGHLIGHTS: Montreal Jazz Festival: Over 4th of July weekend we played two nights in a row to crowds of over 5,000 people at the "world's biggest jazz festival". Here's an extended video clip of "No Face Enemy" http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=ZXdFgvEZkh0 and a quick crowd shot taken from the stage after we finished. http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=t3wgv1GvjhM Yoshi's: Appearing at one of the country's finest jazz clubs where so many of our heroes have performed was a dream come true that warranted our debut in formal attire. Burning Man: Our 3rd Year performing on the playa included a set at the Critical Tits Afterparty for its final year. We felt this show warranted our debut in as little attire as possible. Current TV also shot a short documentary on the band that featured our performance at Otter Oasis' giant saddle dome which you can view here. http://current. com/items/89251711/albino. htm Halloween: We "dressed up right" this year as the Muppet Show Band, Dr. Teeth and Electric Mayhem, for our sold out show at The Independent with Toubab Krewe. Visit the photo gallery here http://www. idyll. com/gallery2/v/arts/albino2/?g2_page=1, and you can download our afrobeaten rendition of the Muppet Show Theme, complete with Kermit's introduction and some sloppy balcony heckling from Statler and Waldorf here. http://ia310812. us. archive. org/0/items/albino2008-10-31. m300s. selleseth. flac16/albino2008-10-31m300s_d1t01_64kb. mp3 Live In-Studio performance on KEXP FM: While in Seattle last March, we played an on-air set on one of the nation's most eclectic public radio stations. You can stream or download that performance along with many other live ALBINO! recordings at http://www. archive. org/details/ALBINO. New ALBINO! family member: Former ALBINO! drummer Michael Pinkam and vocalist/percussionist Amber Hines gave birth to their daughter Rain Pinkham-Hines on November 2nd.

Warehouse Party: Sat Jan 17 in Oakland It's Nathan Endsley's birthday party and we've found a great warehouse venue in West Oakland to celebrate in, where we can play as late as we want. Our wacko friends from Mars, Sweet Snacks, will also perform along with a guest DJ or two. Capricorns get in FREE w/ID. This party WENT OFF last year! This year we've got pro sound and lights, full bar, and a heated out door space. Although we've got a bigger and better warehouse, space is still limited. This is an underground event. Super-secret event location will be sent by request only. Get your 2nd Annual Capricornication warehouse party details by emailing nathan@albinoband.com.
