Bonjour! Hello!
We’ve just received super rad copies of the French release of “Brand New Beat” on Dirty Witch Records! The artwork is a little different, the CD’s are in a digi-pack and it comes with two Bonus tracks, including the never before released tune “Emma Stone”, which is about this one time I ran into Emma Stone in New York City but was too screwed up on a magical brownie to realize that I just ran into Emma Stone!
Grab it here : (USA ORDERS ONLY)

Happy Holidays!
December 21, 2012 By
Hiya folks!
Just got back from a killer tour of Spain! What an incredible experience, so many good friends, fans and parties. A huge thanks to our Spanish label Torreznetes Entertainment for making it all happen!
Now it’s time to relax and enjoy the rest of 2012! It’s been an wonderful and exciting fun packed year. In honor of the holiday season, i’d like to present to you a special Christmas song titled “Christmas in the Sand”, which will appear on a special Japanese Christmas Compilation on Power Pop Academy records. This tune was written by Wyatt Funderburk and myself before leaving for Spain. Fingers Rodgers recorded it at his home studio, and Adam Cargin stopped by to play on it as well! We filmed the video at Geoff Useless and Jackie’s awesome Christmas party!
Enjoy!
Happy Holidays everybody and see you in 2013!
- Kurt
