CDs, Yule Balls, Holiday Deals, and other News
Gred and Forge have released a new album titled “Half the Band I Used to Be.” There are 14 songs on the album and those in the U.S. can get the album for $10, International orders are $12. Check out the myspace page for more details.
Alex of The Remus Lupins so nicely lumped together all the Yule Balls/Wizard Rock dance parties in his blog, so the credit goes to him because I’m lazy as sin.
December 15: The Toronto Yule Ball. A bunch of great northern Wrock bands are playing, including Tonks and the Aurors, and Oliver Boyd and the Rememberalls.
November 30: HP-Ohio’s Crystal Ball. This is more of an upscale, adult event, with a higher ticket price and a higher age limit. You have to be 18+ to attend, and dress swanky. The Whomping Willows and Draco and the Malfoys will be performing as well as a DJ. Click here for more information. Very little time left to order tickets.
December 15 and 16: The Philly Yule Ball. This event is being put on by DJ Luna Lovegood, also known as Mama Horntail, and the lineup is being solidified. You know Team Horntail is going to be there though, which means its going to be really awesome.
December 8 and 9: The Boston Yule Balls. Instead of playing in Boston and Philly as last year, Harry and the Potters decided to keep their annual holiday party in Awesomchusetts as they call it. Dec 8 and 9, they are playing shows with great lineups of bands – muggle and wizard alike. The Dec 8 show is at Brandeis University, just west of Boston, and will feature the Potters, Jason Anderson and the Best, the Whomping Willows, Potter Puppet Pals and Justin Finch Fletchly! Should be pretty fun. You cant go wrong when you have the puppet pals (botherbotherbother) and a singing tree in the same place. December 9, the show returns to it’s traditional homeland – the Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge. This show will featured Draco and the Malfoys, Uncle Monsterface, Math the Band, Harry and the Potters and Remus and the Lupins. Make no mistake, this is a show that should not be missed. Also, don’t be confused, Remus and the Lupins, not The Remus Lupins are playing this show.
Draco and the Malfoys have announced a special Holiday Deal, and you know how Death Eaters like to save money! Order both CDs and save $4!!! What Death Eater would pass up that deal?!
In other news, the dates for the 2008 Wrockstock have been announced. It will be held at the same location at Trout Lodge in Potosi, Missouri Memorial Day weekend. That’s May 23rd-26th!!!
That’s a lot of awesome news… can you handle it?!

[markup=]Paul hasn’t posted anything on the HatP blog about it yet, but I remember reading somewhere that someone found tickets on ticketmaster.com you could always try there. If not and you live in the area, go to the venue and ask if you can purchase tickets… That’s all I can think of, sorry I don’t know anything else.

[markup=]Honestly I don’t know… I’m basically just passing along the information. I did some research, jumping around from blog to blog on myspace but couldn’t find anything, I’m sorry.
Again, I suggest trying Ticketmaster… If I find out anything I’ll be sure to post it.
