Hey
everyone! The band and I (& my fiance Ashley) made it back from Austin
in one piece. We played the Undertow Showcase and one of the KDHX Twangfest
day parties and saw a bunch of bands and had a great time. The album is
supposed to be technically released on Tuesday, April 15th, and there
have already been a bunch of regional press reviews that we'll be posting
soon on the Press page. Also, there have been features written about the
record on Spinner.com, USAToday.com,
CNet,
and more national press is soon to follow. We'll put as much of it on
the site as possible.
Over the course of
the next few days, we will be uploading a bunch of video to YouTube. There
will be solo performances by me, some live footage from the CD Release
show, and even old Imaginary Baseball League live performances. Just go
to YouTube and search for Aaron Robinson. If you get a whole bunch of
videos of a guy slam-dunking or a guy reviewing new technological products
or a guy covering Christian rock songs, then those aren't me. To narrow
the search, type Aaron Robinson Racing Ghosts. We'll tag the album title
on everything that's uploaded.
Finally, the band
and I were just added to the May 2nd American Music Club show at The End.
I am stupidly excited about this as AMC is one of my top 5 favorite bands
of all time. Pick up a copy of their new record The Golden Age as soon
as possible. Check the shows page for more upcoming dates. See you soon!

Hey
everyone! A lot's going on. The CD Release show was amazing. We're trying
to edit some video together from the show and post some of it. Keep checking
back for that. Also, South By Southwest is this week. I've had a second
showcase added, which is awesome. In addition to the Thursday Undertow
Music Collective showcase at Habana Calle 6, I'm also doing the Twangfest
day party on Saturday at 5:30pm. The lineup for both shows is amazing.
Check it out. I'll update more when I have more time. See you in Texas!

Only
one week 'til my CD Release show. The cover charge was wrong on the original
flyer and has been updated. It will cost $7 to get into this show. In
the next week, look/listen for the following:
Local Lightning Spot on Lightning
100 (100.1 FM) in Nashville next week. Tune in Monday-Friday at 2:40pm
and 8:40pm to hear a track from "We Are Racing Ghosts".
Also in Nashville,
tune to 91.1FM this Saturday (or online at wrvu.org)
at 2pm for an interview/performance and guest DJ spot by yours truly.
In Murfreesboro, TN,
tune to 88.3FM this Sunday night (or online at wmts.org)
at 9pm for an interview/performance with me again! I'll try to play different
songs.
Pick up a copy of The Nashville
Scene this coming Wednesday (available til the following Tuesday online
and in print) for a review of the album and a show preview.
Also, either Wednesday or Thursday
of next week, look for a review/article in Nashville's 'The City Paper
'.
It's going to be an exciting
week around here. Don't forget to come to the CD Release show at The Basement
on Thursday, 2/21 ($7, 21-up).
Finally, look me up
on Facebook. I've just created an official
music page over there, and since the facebook revolution is undeniable,
and since everyone pretty much hates Myspace but keeps begrudgingly using
it (or so I'm told), come
check out the other page!
See you soon!

After
some mental and logistical tossing and turning, I've finally booked the
official "We Are Racing Ghosts" CD Release Show! That will occur
on 2/21/08 @ The Basement in Nashville, TN. My band and I will be playing
in the middle of a 3-band bill, and the headliner has not yet been determined.
Stay tuned for updates there. Please note that the 12/8/07 Grimey's show
has been CANCELED!
Also, the band and
I will be playing in Murfreesboro, TN on 1/11. And for you folks who are
going to SXSW in Austin, TX, I WILL BE THERE! I'll post more information
soon about the location/time of my showcase. Thanks to Undertow for the
opportunity to play that wonderful festival. I will likely hit an Arkansas
venue or two on the way to the Lone Star State.
Finally, thanks to
everyone who has purchased the new record from iTunes and other online
services. I'll get a link up here SOON for people to mail-order a physical
copy. Check back!

Hey everyone! "We Are Racing
Ghosts" is now available on iTunes! It's also available via eMusic,
Napster, and nearly every other music download service. In the next few
days, there will be a link to purchase a physical cd through this website
and through my Myspace page. I unfortunately had to cancel my Grimey's
In-Store CD release show because of several factors. I will return with
the band after the new year. I will be selling CDs at my shows, however
the official CD release show will not happen until the CD is officially
released.
In
other news, I've returned from my little Arkansas jaunt. It was more than
anything else, a good time. It was surreal, happy, sad, cold, freezing,
dark, smelly, tasty, and everything else Arkansan all at once. I met some
great friends who make great music. Austin, TX's Dana Falconberry and
her band were a delight to meet and hang out with for a few days. Check
them out on myspace. Also, thanks to Nick Flora of Coin Laundry
Loser, Owen Pye, Jarred McCauley, Roger Barrett, Gangster Football (yes
that is a person), and Sam Walker for being awesome and taking care of
me. I'll be in Bowling Green, KY on 11/29 and in Highland, IL on 11/30.
After that, I'll go hibernate until 2008. See you soon!

Welcome to the newly-launched AaronRobinsonMusic.com, the official site
for the music of Aaron Robinson! Over the summer of 2007, Aaron recorded
his first solo record, We Are Racing Ghosts,
with producer Neilson Hubbard (Matthew Ryan, Garrison Starr, Glen Phillips).
The time has almost come for it to be released! People in the Nashville
area will be able to pick up a copy of the record months before the national
release date at a special one-time-only in-store performance at Grimey's
on 12/8. Also by early December, the record will be available via iTunes,
eMusic, Yahoo Music, Napster, Rhapsody, and pretty much every other music
download service. An official release date on the Undertow Music Collective
record label has yet to be determined. Once the release date is set, we'll
let you know where and when you can pick up your copy of the record! Until
then, we will find a way for you to order hard copies of the record through
this site. Also coming soon... T-Shirts, Stickers, and a music video.
Bookmark this site, and check back often as lots of things will be happening
with Aaron over the coming weeks and months!
