HEY! A big "THANK YOU" to all the staff, volunteers, new friends and new fans at Sled Island! We Enablers had a great time. We look forward to seeing all of you again someday. Our record is off to John Golden for mastering and will be with us on vinyl and on CD when we reach Europe this August and September. We are nearly completely booked up and would like to thank all our friends for helping us make yet another successful booking adventure happen. Check our calendar because the dates are UP!!!! Speaking of flying we will be at the Sled Island Festival in Calgary, Canada on June 27 and 28 of 2008.
And as usual....our single sided 12 inch 45rpm epic on Awesome Vistas records out of Portland Oregon is NEARLY SOLD OUT!!! (distribution by Revolver/Midheaven) Our good friend Chris Johanson absolutely ruled the artwork, illustrating Pete's story in a multi-layered schizophrenic city scape. Please check out www.lancashireandsomerset.co.uk for a cool split seven inch with Enablers and Red Panda. Be sure to check out their other releases too. Also go to www.midmarchrecords.com for our first LP "End Note" on delicious vinyl (almost sold out!!!)as well as other cool releases. Of course you can find our CD's at www.neurotrecordings.com along with the entire killer Neurot catalog.
Please stay in touch and we will do our best to keep up with all y'all. Do an "enablers" search on youtube for some very new video action too! ..................
Thank You.....Enablers:
Joe Byrnes...drums.
Joe Goldring...guitars.
