"Fishboy / Baby Calendar" Split 7" on red vinyl - Singles Club (HHBTM 2007)
side A: Fishboy, side B: Baby Calendar
Between the years of 2004-2006, we traveled all over the United States playing hundreds of shows in all manner of places and formats (venues, festivals, basements, bars, parks, living rooms, pizza places...CMJ, Plan-It-X Fest, Athens Popfest...). We played music, made friends, saw the country, released an EP (Your Move) and two full length albums (Fifteen Year Old Sneakers & Gingerbread Dog), and were signed to Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records (hhbtm.com - Athens, GA).
In mid-2007, we released a single, "Live Underwater" as part of the limited edition HHBTM Singles Club. (you can order that single here!).
“Baby Calendar radiates a very personal and distinct beauty, and are simply bright rays of sunshine breaking through the clouds when you need it most.”
– Two Way Monologues
“Baby Calendar have created their own little slice of a genre here. It’s 1/3 twee , 1/3 emo and 1/3 geek rock all rolled up into one. Fans of all of the genres listed above should find something to like on Gingerbread Dog. These guys and gal are damn good at what they do and it’s hard to not have respect for that.”
– Sound As Language
“Each element comes together, making each song an indie pop wallop...”
