June Birthdays 
Firstly, I'd like to thank the sg101ers for the great support we received for our last album, Cinematic.
It's been two years since it's release and in that time, I've seen tons and tons of great psych/garage rock bands that are flourishing here in Los Angeles. It really made me think, what really would've happened had surf music really continued strong into '68.
That's the jumping off point from which the Trabants album, FREAKOUT was crafted - an attempt to really create a modern psych/surf blend.
There's a healthy dose of many assorted classic fuzz sounds, sitar guitar, phaser, tape echo effects etc...
FREAKOUT is going to be released by the Los Angeles based cassette label called Lolipop records. This is really great because many of the bands on their roster played a part in inspiring this album. The cd comes out this week and will be available on our May west coast tour. The cassette will be available through Lolipop 2 weeks later.

Hope to see some of you on our upcoming tour. We've never been to pacific northwest before so we'd love to meet some new sg101ers.
