The TomorrowMen record release show June 18

TomorrowMen Poster

The TomorrowMen are proud to offically announce our CD release party and show on June 18th at The Hotel Utah in San Francisco. It was a long time coming - the band has been together 5 years (give or take a few thousand) and we are incredibly excited that this CD is finally completed.

It's jam packed with lots of your favorite Tmen songs painstakingly produced and recorded in 4-D sound by Pollo Del Mar's Ferenc Dobronyi, who just happens to be playing at the show with us, along with our good friends Blammos!

This is a rare Saturday night show at The Hotel Utah, 21+ and $10 to get in. Hope to see you!

If this isn't reason enough to come, Lady Reverb and I are also celebrating our 25th anniversary! Don't buy us anything, just come on down and bring your friends and  buy the brand new CD "It's About Time!

-Mycroft Eloi aka Danny Snyder
