An Important Message from Pela, the band that love made

Dear Friends of Pela,

From Feb. 13th until the April 24th launch date of our album, we shall unveil one song each week on a nifty little E-Card at www.pelamusic.com

Go to our website, click the E-Card link, and enjoy the first track on the album, "Waiting on the Stairs". Check back next Tuesday (the 20th) to discover the next song on the album!



"Anytown Graffiti" will be our debut full-length on Great Society, and its been a long time coming. Many of our online friends have already heard some of the songs from the album... But perhaps you haven't heard the final, perfected versions that will be making it to CD.

We originally started recording the songs in November 2005. By February 2006, we had recorded all over the place - Atlantic Sound Studios, Great City Studios, friends' basements... We took the demos and we thought we were ready to go, but a nervous twitch led us back into the studio in summer 2006 to re-record "Lost to the Lonesome", remix 'Anytown Graffiti' and put 2 brand new songs to tape - "Waiting on the Stairs" and "Your Desert's Not A Desert At All". We recorded and tracked straight to 2-inch tape, but took advantage of Pro Tools for the mix. These sessions were at Head Gear in Brooklyn, where TVOTR and YYYs also recorded.

We were so excited to have these songs down and there was excitement building online so we sent out unmastered versions to some of our favorite blogs. Finally, with World's Fair behind us, we were able to get the album professionally mastered, by none less than Steve Fallone, reknown for mastering records by The Strokes and other known NYC bands.

So please check back every Tuesday, as we share each precious song one at a time with you to get everyone pumped for the album launch! You can forward the E-Card to friends as well as sign up for our newly revived mailing list. Stay in touch for tour dates across America, special announcements, surprises, giveaways, remixes, the whole 9 yards!

It's gonna be awesome, thanks for listening...

With love,

The Lovely Lads of PELA
