FLAX HAPPY album cover. Purchase the album on amplifier.co.nz or listen to a preview here.

We signed off the artwork today, they are making the discs this Friday and the beautiful all-card package next week (designed by Nick Eagles who did Little Death), just in time for us to have them for sale at our launch gig on 22 May at the Dogs Bollix!! There might even be some in the shops by Tuesday 20 May!

This is what we’re emailing about. So on Thursday 22 May, if you’re in Auckland, come party with us from early (8pm) for the long awaited launch of the great new album FLAX HAPPY ! We are very excited. Alan Pitts will open with some magical saw playing (you really have to hear this to believe!) followed by STEVE ABEL & THE CHRYSALIDS for a visceral set of songs, and the night will round out with the brilliant VOOM while we all have a bubbly with you! It will really be as early and glorious as we promised.

Pre-sales only $15 available from Cheese On Toast (will cost more on the night). Email: ticket@cheeseontoast.co.nz with ABEL in the subject line. Include your full name and how many tickets you wish to purchase. They will reply with bank details and further instructions.

Please come along – or if you’re out of Auckland request our new album from your local CD shop. We’re very proud of the album and hope you’ll buy copies for yourself and friends and tell everyone you know all about it and we hope to play in a town near you very soon!

Awesome,
Steve and the band
