   About How Far to Austin (New Acoustic Tracks Available!)

UPDATE! UPDATE!

How Far to Austin is busy rockin' in the studio with producer Steve Gillis! Keep an eye out for a fresh, sharp, witty, bio - coming along as soon as the delivery guy arrives with our damn beer!

Oh, also...by the way...keep an eye out for THREE NEW acoustic tracks that will be available in the coming weeks right here on Myspace exclusively!

Kind Words about HFTA:

We're pretty sure that people have said some nice stuff about us - Colin swears that he wrote it all down on a napkin. But then he spilled his five hour energy drink all over the pedal board and used the napkin to clean it up. So...we're going to call some people and see if they'll say some nice things about us for this portion of the bio...

FGC's got two hometown area shows this weekend! Friday is an all ages extravaganza at the House Cafe in Dekalb, and Saturday is a hometown throwdown at the Abbey Pub in Chicago (Ages 18+). Fans that attend both shows can pick up a FREE FGC album of their choice at Saturday's show (just grab the Free Album Coupon at the House Cafe and redeem it at the Abbey Pub)!

In other news, FGC is also excited to announce that the band will be celebrating New Year's Eve 2009 at the Redstone Room in Davenport, IA. Our third New Year's in a row at this incredible venue, we will once again be pulling out all the stops! Stay tuned for more information on this year's theme, advance tickets, and other details.

And finally, don't forget to check out the band's new Video Blog, a weekly series featuring a behind the scenes look at FGC performances and touring. Check out the YouTube playlist for the last few editions, and stay tuned for more in the coming weeks!

In 50 years, don't you wanna look back and wish you had the guts to check us out and buy our new EP off itunes for only $4.95? I know you have an old gift card from your distant aunt or great uncle from two Christmases ago and they would love for you to spend it on us :) Talk to us and meet some nice guys if you're bored!
