Introducing THE KNEES!

Getting out of bed is not an option at the moment….I’m on day 3 of being sick.  I feel like I’m swallowing razorblades, and I can barely make a sound.  This is not my idea of a good time….yes, I think I’ll stay in bed.  I’m usually good for getting sick when the seasons turn, so at least I’m getting this behind me.

………….

In better news:

I’m pleased to announce the debut album of THE KNEES is out now exclusively at Amie Street. SAYS AMIE STREET:

“The Knees rock! We’ve said it before, and now that we’ve heard their debut album we’ll say it again, twice as loud. The Knees ROCK. “Like Liz Phair fronting Weezer,” as one fan put it, The Knees are the best thing to happen to your face since… uh, Weezer. Sexual Radio has all the crunchy guitars, loser heroes, and drunken sing-a-long hooks that you miss from the ’90s, including such memorable lyrics as “whoa-oh-ohhh!” and “hey hey!” and “oh me oh my oh no!” There’s even a love story slow-jam in there for the saps. And a giveaway track called “Sick of Being Stoned.” And it’s all only $5. Believe it! Buy it.”

Sure, you could buy the whole thing digitally for $5, but if you’re a true fan, you can buy the only physical album in existence for the low price of $1609.  Now before you say, hmmm, that’s a bit out of my price range, I want you to realize that the physical copy comes complete with some very very special extras*:

-Free entry to every Knees gig we ever do for ever and ever
-A free T-shirt – one of only three prototypes that we ever made
-Some scraps of lyrics that we managed to find
-Original logo ideas
-A completely unique one off CD of karaoke versions of the whole album!

You’ll also get to tell everyone that you helped the Knees get to the next level of their career when nobody knew who the fuck they were! (This one only counts if anyone ever knows who the fuck we are, but if you’re ready to take that gamble, then we are too!)

The reason why it’s $1609 is cause that’s how much it costs to get 1000 CDs made and Discmakers, which is what we’ll do if someone is actually crazy enough to buy this.

*You should be aware that this special edition is basically just a couple CD-Rs and some other bits and bobs which are no way worth this kind of money – do not buy unless you are really rich, really crazy, really stupid, or think the Knees really, really rock.  Of course you could go in on it with 1608 of your closest friends, and everyone would be a winner!
