[FourPlay News] Now To The Future released today! Album launches imminent!

[Peter Hollo]

To our friends, lovers, colleagues and disinterested observers,
Well, it's finally happened! Our new album */Now To The Future/* is 
actually in the stores! Distributed by MGM, the new album has more 
originals than ever (8 out of the 13 tracks); covers range from the 
Strokes and Radiohead to Charles Mingus and Miles Davis, and the diverse 
range of originals run from power pop to "Bollyrock", and tunes inspired 
by bluegrass slide guitar and epic rock, post-rock and folktronica, 
klezmer and tango and swing jazz...

We're gearing up for huge celebrations, and first up we're doing four 
launch shows in four lucky cities. There's no doubt these will be major 
events (it's been a while since we had an album launch!), and we urge 
you to come along, and bring (or send) all your friends as well! The

Remember, the best way to get tickets to the launch is to by one of our 
limited edition 3" CDs. Featuring specialist design and packaging, each 
3" contains one song from /Now To The Future/ and two rare or previously 
unreleased tracks -- plus *each 3" CD sold will include a free ticket to 
the album launch. Make sure you forward this email to your friends 
living in the launch city, as this offer only holds up until these 
launches happen!* (Any remaining 3"s will be available from our website 
or at gigs, but without this bonus offer).
The free tickets are only offered for the four states in which we are 
doing our initial album launches. The 3" CDs are available exclusively
