EXCLUSIVE: Limited Edition "Townies" Prints

Perhaps over the last few months you've seen bits of James Villa's photography for our new Townies album on your cpu screen, but believe us, the digital viewfinder will never replace the real-deal physical print, so Hand Drawn Records has inked up an extremely limited number of posters (sixteen total), solely to give away at the two album release shows next weekend!

The limited prints are large, and mighty fine, so we are excited to get them into your hands. 

Since such a small quantity is available, old Lady Luck will determine the who-gets-what in the form of a free raffle at the gigs.  Of course, the band will sign them with the ink and marker; so there's that too.

In case you haven't seen the pics, here are a few of the cropped shots (don't worry we won't spill the milk into the bagful of cats by showing you the full meal deal).

What is the "Townies" Project?

Last summer Hand Drawn Records commisioned long-time Exit 380 photo and video contributor James Villa to shoot album art for the band's new full length album Townies.  The photographer spent the following months shooting vintage gas stations, dried up putting ranges, and drive-in movie theaters all over the backroads of Texas.

The sheer volume of quality shots returned to the label far exceeded the usage for the album panels, so alas, something small became something big.

Townies CD Release Shows:

FRI., DEC 9th @ LOLA'S SALOON (Fort Worth, TX) w/ Secret Ghost Champion and Igneous Grimm. All Ages. Show 10pm.


SAT., DEC 10th @ CLUB DADA (Dallas, TX) w/ Grant Jones, Eastwood and Secret Ghost Champion. 21+. Show 9pm.

Album Release: "TOWNIES" December 9th & 10th

ALBUM RELEASE: “Townies” - Show Dates

Two and a half years, two drummers, and 32 demos later, Exit 380 is finally prepared to release its 5th full length record Townies. The album will get two hometown release shows on back-to-back evenings; Friday, Dec. 9th @ Lola’s Saloon (Fort Worth, TX) and Saturday, Dec. 10th @ Club Dada (Deep Ellum, TX).

The eleven song disc was tracked primarily at Borden’s home studio, where we cut our 2008 The Life and Death of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Stone concept album. Townies follows a similar vein of storytelling, but through a noir-backwoods funnel.

The release will be coming via- our new indie label home Hand Drawn Records, and they’ll be staging fan freebies, limited edition bonuses and more, so…Stay Tuned!
