when I previously posted the track, I forgot to mention that the single is available for purchase as a 45...you can get that ONLINE or at your local record shop, if they have it in stock (they probably do)
previous single "Hang You From the Heavens" is also available.
so the boys and girl of Grand Lake (well, now with a different boy behind drums, as over-booked Ryan Parks was replaced by John Pomeroy...guess he's no Jack White) have released what is probably my favourite song of theirs so far, previously dubbed "Werewolf Workweek" but now shall be known as "Sandusky Sunset"
a couple of things worthy of note, the single will be released as a CASSETTE with a free mp3 download and a nifty button (I'm speculating on the qualifier here, I haven't seen them but I think it's safe to guess that they're probably quite awesome) AND the limited 100 copies will be solely available for purchase at their concerts.
so, as not to deprive your wonderous collection of these soon to be priceless artifacts (I don't think teenagers these days even know that cassette tapes contain music in them, they probably think they're old school birth control dispensers or something), head on out!

“Carnival of Light” is supposedly a 14-minute improvised psychedelic jam the band recorded in 1967 and was left off of the Anthology releases because it was “too adventurous.”
