this makes me happy (I'm copying & posting the announcement here for
those who don't like to click:

Five seasons and change after closing up shop, The Bigger Lovers are
reuniting to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our instantly
out-of-print 2001 debut, “How I Learned to Stop Worrying” (originally
issued on Black Dog Records on March 13, 2001) with a remastered vinyl
and digital reissue coming March 8, 2011 on our own Miles Above
imprint. It’s the first time the album has appeared in either format.
The reissue - which includes two bonus tracks (available digitally)
recorded during the original sessions, and expanded liner notes - will
be available through thebiggerlovers.com, iTunes, and select brick and
mortar stores.
And there’s new music, some of it free: From now (Jan. 18) through
Feb. 1, we’re offering the brand new track “Little Giant” as a free
download (feel free to post). I can’t begin to tell you how proud we
are of this track. Bret (Tobias, guitarist/vocalist) has said
repeatedly it’s so good it should be in an Apple commercial. And
that’s saying something because it’s Scott’s (bassist/vocalist) tune,
meaning Bret won’t get any publishing! “Little Giant” is the lead
track from the “Little Giant Maxi Single,” four tunes (plus a remix)
we began recording in the Spring of 2005 and finally got around to
finishing last October with our pal Tony Goddess (singer-guitarist of
Papas Fritas). It’s available beginning Feb. 1 from
thebiggerlovers.com at the rock bottom price of $1 per song, or $4 for
the whole thing. iTunes will carry it as well.
And since it wouldn’t be a proper reunion without a show, we’re
playing Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia on Sat., Mar. 12 to celebrate
the new release and the re-release. Tickets are $10 adv/$12 day of
show and they’re available now through the Johnny Brenda’s website.
Dennis Diken (Smithereens drummer) and Bell Sound will open.
What else?… We’re now present on every platform that caught fire after
we disbanded - Facebook, YouTube, and even Twitter. And as far as the
reunion stuff goes, we really don’t know where it will lead. Well paid
house concerts and festival gigs? Hey, if you’re offering, we’re
listening.
