The Battle of the Vans EP is finally here! Three brand new songs on red translucent vinyl with pink splotches! In addition to the music we’ve put together quite a package. A fully operational, kid tested mother approved board game called Battle of the Vans: The Touring Sabotage Game! Each EP is hand screened and comes with a BOTV Starter pack including a die, four game pieces, eight playing cards and the rules to the game. Look below to see video footage of us putting this stuff together!
Post Tour Thank You’s
We’ve most recently finished a highly successful tour with Man Man, thank you to everyone who came out to the shows and had a great time. We are still accepting video footage and photographs to be compiled in a post tour video journal, send in your submissions! We have many shows on the horizon, including Man Man’s album release here in Philadelphia and the now SOLD OUT Bowery Ballroom Show in New York! YIKES! Check our dates for shows in your area!
If you attended the shows on this past tour you may have gotten a chance to hear some new songs. That means only one thing, and that is we are currently writing for our third full length album, which will also be packaged in a brand new hand band hard cover book from Punk Rock Payroll!!
The Ribbons of War: The Musical DVD is also finally here and available at both our shows and online at punk rock payroll! The DVD is footage of our fully staged musical of our first album Ribbons of War, at Space 1026 in Philadelphia!
For all you cross-platform online networkers, you can now friend us on Facebook!
Also, our official website ExtraordinairesMusic.com is fully operational and updated with a beautiful new user friendly interface, including a worthy home for most (but not all) of our short films.

YEAH! Missouri!!!! You play this funky ass rockabilly wonderment and you plant yourselves in the 13 original colonies. Don't you know that we love you in the Midwest now too??? Don't you know that we regular at bars that are made out of sheds? Don't you know that we camp and bathe at the rivers? Don't you know that you BELONG HERE? i know you're probably not rich enough yet. but i miss you so fucking much that I can't stand myself. and i've been too poor to see you too because of this gas fuck:( I guess that sometimes shit's not fair.
Definitely going to need your cover of the Maneater song up here so it can be on my profile. Also, whenever you guys feel like coming back to Arkansas, you can bet we'll roll out en masse! The Spa City is talking about you guys still!
My kid is so madly in love with High Five. But if she starts bombing her school or something as she ages when she's in that awkward stage where everyone makes fun of her...I'm totally coming for you. And we'll duke it out. But she does have a good point...poor High Five...
IM DYING TO KNOW WHERE THE HOUSE SHOW IS, EXTRAORDINAIRES. my friend john and i vowed to each other that we would not miss a single one of your philly shows besides the one on thursday. i bet its a secret. house shows are always a secret.
EXTRAORDINAIRES!!!! we saw you live in birmingham ALabama along your tour with Man Man back in november! we will never forget you, we all love your music
Man I really wish that I would have been able to see more of your set here in Louisville. Everyone that I told to come to the show, basically fell in love with you here, but I made it late (though I did see you all play Wendy from the entrance of the venue). As soon as you all travel back around here, I'm totally showing up, and you're totally signing my damn poster that I got at the Louisville show ;0
my cats have been really bad lately (i.e. peeing in the fake ficus, throwin up in the washing machine, knocking down my canvas), and i've really had to use your cd for stress relief. hope you boys don't mind being used. and another thing real quick. i've had to physically stop myself from flooding this page with comments and your inbox with messages, i miss you and your liveness BAD. i'm sure you miss me too. c: have fun the next few months, i'll start planning my next trip to see a show asap.
you. are. possibly. the greatest band to ever exist.
please come visit me in hot springs, arkansas again. you don't even have to play, you just have to bring that wicked cool fish guitar and make "wooping" sounds. :D
