Fork and Spoon is happy to announce the addition of Can't Kids to our family.  We discussed future happenings over an amazing brunch (prepared for us by Asa)  and then hi-fived, shook hands, and hugged (aka "made a deal").  Read about them HERE, listen to the first track from their upcoming album (more details soon), and watch clip of them playing "Happy Hippies" last night.

Those Lavender Whales - Growth in Question from Lunch & Recess on Vimeo.

To help hype the first-ever full length Those Lavender Whales record (out January 17th on LP/CD), our dear friend Dorian at Lunch & Recess / SK803.com put together a fantastic music video at one of our monthly Fork and Spoon potlucks. The video captures all the weirdo fun contained in a Whales show while depicting our love for Columbia, SC and the community we are so fortunate to be a part of. Thank you everyone in the video, everyone who comes to the potlucks, and everyone who lends us your ears. None of this would exist without you.

Go ahead and Pre-order it in our store if you are even half as excited as we are.

It's true. It's been busy, but we are so excited about everything happening. First off, we premiered the first "single" from the first full-length from Those Lavender Whales titled "Tomahawk of Praise" and set to release January 17.



You can listen and read a heartwarming track review on our tumblr, or download the mp3 below.

Secondly, we've made our first release, a collection of No Way Jose!'s studio recordings, available for free/pay what you want download on Bandcamp!



Now there is no excuse for you not to hear the battling synth and guitar amid the booty-shake-inducing drum and bass. No Excuse.
