Hi, guys!
I work at Frank Black's label, SpinART, and I've already posted to the Abstract Plain mailing list about this but Dave suggested I post it here too. (So if you've heard this already, I apologize, but I'm copying and pasting from my other post cause its easier.)
Currently, Frank Black and the Catholics are working on confirming dates for another US (and possibly Canada?) tour starting in late February and running all the way to the end of April. What that means is a whole bunch of shows to promote! Ideally, what I'd like to do is set up a Frank Black street team of sorts in order to give FB as much support as possible for this and future tours/releases. So if anybody wants to help out promoting shows/hanging tour posters and such, please email me at sarah@spinartrecords.com with your address and contact info and any questions/concerns/ideas you might have!!
Thanks much,
Sarah |

| Everyone should volunteer for this! I've distributed posters for the last two shows, and the labels usually throw in a disc or two as well for a little thank-you. |

There may be no 'I' in team, but there's a 'ME' if you look hard enough. |

okay, okay i get the hint; i'll see if there are any european plans in the making 
Re: merch, I know, but the band doesn't have a tour manager and that stuff can get messy otherwise - for what it's worth, i did merch (and may do so again) for his new york shows last time around. no shirts though, just music. |

The bonus tracks are the original, Joey-Santiago-recorded, acoustic demos of "Robert Onion", "Blast Off", "Stupid Me", and "If It Takes All Night."
We should have the list of confirmed tour dates by Monday or Tuesday, BTW. |

| To sarah spinart, it would be greatly appreciated if you can find out if Frank and his catholics would be coming to Australia. He hasn't toured here since '94 and im sure there are alot of people who would love to see him. How can we convince him to come over? He tours the US, Canada and Europe regulary, but not down here, why is this. Im sure we could get him to play one of the many festivals we have here. When he was over in '94 he toured as part of the Livid festival, he should do that again. |

Sarah from Spinart.... try to convince Frank to come to Beijing and I'll do all the advertising for you.... I'd even run across Tiannanmen Square naked throwing a bunch of Frank Black BLD China Tour flyers at the secret police.

| I agree with Alstar, please ask Frank if he can consider coming to Australia some time in the next 50 years. |

Sarah I'll cut a bargain with you that I personally will sell 50 tickets for Frank; if you can get him to play a date in London at the end September this year.
Hows that sound?

As for "sticky" mersh:
Frank should do like Mike Watt and sell his own shirts out of a hefty bag from the stage, after the gig.
Unless he doesnt want to get harassed, making change for fans who only carry Twenties....then he should just make Dave do it.

Replying to my own thread to request that anyone who emails me about this in the future (and while I'm at it, no i'm not sure what I'm doing/when I'm gonna have street team stuff surrounding the new album, soon I will coordinate things with our sales guy) please, in addition to your contact info, include "frank black" in the email somewhere because I keep getting emails from people that just say "I'd like to help out" and I'm really glad that so many people want to help out, but it's always nice to know what they want to help out with.
Thank you!
(Edited to add that if you've emailed me about this in the past, I have your contact info on file so there's no need to email me again.) |
