About Me


All the Big News

It's early July and we're getting pumped on our next small albeit jam packed tour of the north and south east. We're especially excited to be bringing a set of almost entirely new material!! In preparation for the recording of our 3rd album we're are using audiences of this tour as test subjects! All of our dates are posted above ^ and will be either split with one of our personal great friends and brilliant musician Tavo Carbone , and our newest allies Light Pollution !
New Album As previously stated we are currently writing not our Freshman, not our Sophomore, but our Junior album here in Philadelphia. We can't say much about it now, but we do know this is some of the best music we've written to date, and we plan to have more instrumentation and high energy vocals than all of our albums and EP's combined. We are also back to the drawing board in an attempt to reinvent the interactive qualities of our album packaging. We have no solid release date, but we're aiming high for the end of the year.
Also, don't forget our latest vinyl release, the 'Battle of the Vans EP', a split with our friends in Kill You in the Face ! Not only does it come with our latest three tracks (including 'The Chicken, the Egg, or the Song?'), and not only can you download the whole thing for free when you buy it, but it is also a BOARD GAME! Piece, cards, die, rules and all. All hand made, with love, for you.
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 .
For all you cross-platform online networkers, you can now friend us on Facebook !
