Hi friends,

Vaudeville drops in less than a week. Wanna listen to it? The fine folks at MuchMusic have posted the entire album on their website for your listening pleasure!

Once you’ve listened to Vaudeville enough to memorize every word, come to The El Mocambo on Thursday, July 8th for The Official Vaudeville Album Release Party. More info on the poster attached (after the jump).

It’s about to get crazy, folks.

Kisses.
D
