// Zoo Animal @ The Cake Shop (house show)//

Zoo Animal only has TWO MORE LOCAL SHOWS IN 2012. Yes, that means this show I’m about to tell you about and ONLY ONE MORE. So if you know anything about anything, you should get your tickets to this show right now.

This Sunday (8/19), Zoo Animal is playing at “The Cake Shop,” a semi-secret location that will be given to you when you buy tickets. Usually the band consists of Holly Newsom (vocals & guitar) + bass + drums, but for this show the lineup is going to be her + Grant Cutler (adding another guitar and bonus vocals). Throw those two amazing musicians five feet away from you in a living room and we’ve got ourselves a show that you’ll tell your friends about for months.

What you need to know:

-There are two shows: Sunday, August 19th at 4:30pm & 7pm

-Each show is $15, which seems like a lot for a house show, but all the money goes to Holly and Grant.

-This is in a house, so space is SUPER LIMITED.

-All of the information on buying tickets is here: Zoo Animal with Holly Newsom & Grant Cutler at the Cake Shop

-I’m out of town and super depressed I can’t be there.

// Zoo Animal - Young Bold (long lost remix album)//

Zoo Animal put out an album back in 2010 called Young Bold which features remixes of five songs from their 2008 debut Young Blood. This remix release was only available online by way of download cards, and after those cards disappeared so did the album to the endless graveyard of the interwebs. 

But today is a glorious day—IT HAS BEEN FOUND! You can now purchase this album, as well as all of Zoo Animal’s other releases, on bandcamp. So while you’re there you should just buy all of their albums. You can thank me later.
