WORLD UPDATE. extra! extra!

Cincinnati Indie-Pop quartet WALK THE MOON releases their debut album entitled i want! i want! on CD, iTunes, walkthemoon.bandcamp.com, and limited edition cassette tapes on November 16th, 2010.

Check out the SNEAK PEEK on YouTube of the music video "Anna Sun", which will be premiered at the record release party @ the Mockbee in Cincinnati on Nov. 13th (the Mockbee, historic factory-turned-venue with barrel-vault ceilings and secret passageways, was also the location of the music video shoot, which involved some 70 volunteers and several local organizations).


__RECENT PRESS__________

"...formed in college over a mutual love of Talking Heads and twisted, inventive Pop. The resulting band reflects those two elements beautifully - WALK THE MOON makes fascinating, danceable Art Pop laced with vintage synth riffs... creative rhythms. ...And the band's captivating live show has grown its fanbase thanks to regular tour dates in NYC and beyond. This fall's i want i want EP should rocket them even further."
-CityBeat Cincinnati, Sept 2010

"The young band was a bundle of energy and crowd responded in kind. And you have to respect a group unafraid to wear its influences like a badge of honor... as if to say, 'Yes, we do love Talking Heads, what are you going to do about it?'"
-Mike Breen, CityBeat, review of Midpoint Music Festival 2010

"One of the best young bands I have seen in a long time... various influences, lots of fun..."
-Denise, GNYCTV/Highline Ballroom, New York City, July 2010

"Walk the Moon’s set contained some of the finest orchestrated indie rock, leaving everyone’s attitude in the stratosphere, delighted by the sounds."
-Sean Peters, The News Record, Cincinnati, May 2010

__TOUR________________

WTM will be travelling NE to Boston and NYC, SE to the Carolinas, West to St. Louis, and many places in between throughout Winter 2010-2011. Always find updated Tour dates on myspace.com/walkthemoonband.

__other NEWS___________

WALK THE MOON was recently added to rotation on the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Tristate station 89.7FM WNKU, as well as Artists On Demand internet radio and Kent State's blacksquirrelradio.com.

In September, the band joined great acts such as Tom Tom Club, Caribou, Margot & the Nuclear So and So's, and many others from around the world at Cincinnati's Midpoint Music Festival. The show was well-received by fans and press.

The i want! i want! release party on Nov. 13th at the Mockbee (2260 Central Pkwy Cincinnati, OH) marks the culmination of nearly two years of work in the studio and on the road. Be a part of the event in Cincinnati - be a Lost Boy/Girl, get colored at the facepaint station, graffiti the giant canvasses, and enjoy performances by WALK THE MOON, Gold Shoes, DJs Dustin Chow & Devon Cherry, and special guests Pones, Inc. dance company.

Thank you and see you soon!
Love,
Nicholas, Katie, Erica, Jamie, and WALK THE MOON.

A Man Who's Lost His Wisdom... and THIS WEEKEND>>>



Underneath there, I look like:
A. a chipmunk
B. Harry Potter, after he got fat
C. Scott Stapp ca. summer 2010
D. all of the above


WALK THE MOON does not condone the unprescribed, recreational use of Percoset Oxycodone. However, it did provide for a very unusual case of the Mondays. I fell asleep almost everywhere, including the dinner table; it felt as though 1000 hummingbirds were kindly fanning my skin all day; and when my mom served me tomato soup I smelled it and said, "I just want to put my face in it."


THIS WEEKEND>>> there are some important things coming up that we would like you to know about/participate in.

The ANNA SUN MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT PART II is happening Sunday the 19th and we need your beautiful faces! All are welcome to join us for a barefoot romp at French Park (Cincinnati 45237) from 9am-1pm this Sunday. E-mail nicholaspetricca -at- gmail -dot- com for more info, or check facebook.com/walkthemoon.

LALAPALOOZA for LEUKEMIA, a great night of music for a great cause, takes place Saturday the 18th, the night before the shoot. Starting at 5pm at the Village Green in Glendale, there will be food, BEER, and original music by local Cincinnati artists including WALK THE MOON and our beautiful singer-songwriter friend Serenity Fisher.


keep in touch.
quarks and sharks,
Nicholas
