Happy Day after valentines day!

We had a great CD release show last Thursday at the bitter end.  The uber-band rocked it.  Thanks to Matt Basile, Ryan Vaughn, Jason Wexler, Bryan Dunn, Maddy Wyatt, Shanna Zell, Alex Asher, Ian Schaeffer, Chris Hiatt, Nathan Koci, Melissa Tong, David Fallo, Joe Bren, Jenna Girone...I think that's everyone.  It was FUN. Videos are forthcoming.

Minneapolis, mark your calendars for Mon, April 16 at 9pm for the Minneapolis release show at the 7th St. Entry.

And the critics have been very kind...it is always gratifying to know people are out there digging your stuff. Here's what they've had to say so far...

"a ridiculously addictive collection of slick power-pop tunes" -Ellen Carpenter, Nylon Magazine.

"[Litman] exhibits that rare ability to come up melodies and riffs that only take a single play to unfold and become familiar friends" -Mick Dillingham, Art Into Dust

"The first great album of 2012...a bridge between the sounds of the past and present, thoughtful lyrics and catchy tunes, ballads and rockers, reverence and fresh blood. In an era of party tunes and singing competitions, we deserve a talent like Jeff Litman." -Lee Konfrst, Too Poppy

"Just about every song here is impressive" -Aaron Kupferberg, Powerpopaholic

"crafted tunes, organic instrumentation, thoughtful arrangements…Litman has fashioned an album that has enough flair and verve in it to sway the shallow, casual music fan." -Kevin Matthews, Power of Pop

"a record that should appeal to the masses…Jeff Litman solidifies his reputation as a songwriter focused on melody and thoughtful lyrics." Bill Sullivan, Now This Rocks

Thanks for all the support, people.  If you're liking the record, maybe you could head over to iTunes and write a review or a leave a rating.  Everything helps!

Onward!

In particular, check out Marc's terrific keynote address at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal.  Especially from 23:30ish on where he talks about the life of a comic and gives 10 rules for aspiring comics.  Totally applicable to musicians or any artists.  Really want you guys to hear this!!
