ANNUALS ANNOUNCE NEW 2009 TOUR DATES!

Annuals just wrapped up an awesome, and hugely successful tour with Minus the Bear, and we're super excited to announce that new dates have been added to their 2009 headlining tour. Support includes Jessica Lea Mayfield and friends What Laura Says, who are signed to Annuals’ label, Terpsikhore. We're talking about two drum kits, six members, loads of instruments and performances packed with unmatchable energy. So if you haven't seen Annuals live yet, here's your chance.

The new album, Such Fun, embraces a vast landscape of musical richness, combining frontman Adam Baker’s accomplished songcraft with an instrumental palate that is even more colorful than their debut album, Be He Me. Add in cover art that's a painting by Bob Ross and an amazing video for first song “Confessor” by Terry Gilliam’s right-hand man Daniel Auber, and you've got yourself something pretty spectacular.

Annuals recently received the honor of being influential tastemaker station WXPN’s “Artist to Watch” for the month of November.

Also, please take a moment to vote for "Confessor" as MTV2 Subterranean's Video of 2008!!



We're also very excited to unveil this little Such Fun widget, where you can not only stream music, watch video and see tour dates, but you can also work on your own version of the Such Fun album art. Play around with it, post it for your readers, or send it to a friend--just click the Get & Share tab to grab the embed code:

“The band returns with ‘Such Fun’…which is fuller and more eclectic than its debut but maintains the air of curiosity that is the band’s strength.” – The New York Times

“Their bright Americana ditties have a newly retro, country-fried twist that suits them just swell…the tight yet expansive 'Hot Night Hounds' rises with glorious fire, as singer Adam Baker’s entreaties melt into pulsing piano and ripples of fuzz." –
