MSO SET TO RELEASE ONE SINGLE PER MONTH IN 2010 - January 5, 2010
Good and bad news from Albertan bass & drum duo My Sister Ocean...
The good news is, My Sister Ocean has an album's worth of new songs written & recorded. The bad news is any fans wanting to hear all the songs back to back will have to wait ten months since the band has decided to release one song per month until October. Here's the deal:
1. The first Tuesday of each month, a new song will be available on iTunes and sent to radio nationwide.
2. The band plans on releasing 3 EPs during the year leading up to the full album release.
3. In November, a full-length CD of all the songs will be released. That CD will be called "The Month of Tuesday"
The first single, "We Die Alone", will be released January 5th. Followed by "Burn The Truth" in February, and "Please Don't Say It's So" in March. [Followed by 7 more songs, 1 each month]
Members of the band's mailing list will also be the first to hear B sides/extras and there will also be monthly and random draws for giveaways of merchandise such as new T-Shirts, EPs, tickets to shows, stickers, exclusive listens, and more.
Check out http://www.mysisterocean.com on the first Tuesday of each month to stream each new song. Songs will generally be available on iTunes that same day or within a few days.
Physical EPs will be for sale at http://music-on-demand.ca, Megatunes, and the band's shows.

FREE EP - July 4, 2009
In exchange for your email address (which we will never give to anyone else), you can download our latest batch of songs.
People in Edmonton (and only those who attended our EP release) have received a limited edition CD, but we've finally decided that instead of selling these songs on iTunes, we're just going to give them to you.
Why?
Well, we believe you'll tell your friends about it. And we hope they tell their friends about it.
So - sign up and get the music. If you're already a subscriber, simply enter your email address again and the link will appear for you as well. Pretty cool, hey?
You can unsubscribe anytime, but we hope you'll stay on our list so we can keep you informed of shows, new music, and merchandise offerings in the future.
If you feel like the music is worth something to you and you have a paypal account, send any amount you'd like to mso@mysisterocean.com.
