Sarah Hammond is crazy! And awesome! And tattooed with a @WakeyWakey lyrics from the song “Light Outside”! Free entry to Wakey!Wakey! shows when showing a legit Wakey inspired tattoo.

In More Japan News: On Saturday night, I’ll be playing a very intimate benefit show with Bess Rogers, Sam King, Sonya Kitchell, and Matt Irvin at the yoga studio Samudaya.  All acoustic…no amps, no mics….the way it was meant to be!

EVERY single penny raised will go straight to the Red Cross to aid Japan.  BYO Beer/Wine (Limited wine available for donation).  This is another great chance to send some money to people who really need it.

Hey guys,

Just a quick note in response to all the twitter action lately! First of all thanks for helping us hit 30k fans on facebook, and 10k on twitter. Very exciting. Second of all, thanks for all the interest in my beard… haha. I was amazed at the hundreds of responses to my casual tweet about shaving. The overwhelming cry of “DON’T SHAVE!!!” has saved my beard… For now… There were also a few people requesting an online store for our international fans. We are so pleased and overwhelmed to find our fan base expanding so quickly, and are trying our best to keep up.

While it’s not realistic to set up multiple stores all over the world right now, we do ship all of our products internationally for really cheap (I’m told it’s usually about 2$ more than local shipping), and we now have a currency converter up on the store pages to make it easier to figure out your order. We appreciate your feedback, so feel free to use our Twitter and Facebook Fan pages as sort of online comment boxes. We can’t always do what you ask, but the more we know, the more we can try!
All the best,
-M

Spring time! Can’t wait to see you guys out on tour!

Lauren with the new spring version of the classic Wakey!Wakey! “Almost Everything” t-shirt. For now it will be exclusively available only during the band’s tour with Jukebox the Ghost in April and May. All tour dates here. PS Chicago is almost sold out!

Thank you everyone! Huge!

Huge milestone! Wakey!Wakey! made it to 30,000 fans on Facebook and 10,000 on twitter! Mike recorded this video to thank everyone who is in what we’re calling the 30K Club, those early adopter fans that spread the word, bring the band to their countries, and hopefully one day help us hit 300K!

As a big thank you to you all, the Family Records store will sell all items at a 10% discount today and tomorrow (use the code wakey30k). And that’s not just Wakey!Wakey! music and merch, but across all artists including Casey Shea, Pearl and the Beard, Lacrymosa, Matt Singer and all others.
