Check out this nice review of the new album: http://www.inkkc.com/article/local-album-review-sam-billen-0

As some of you may remember, my brother and I wrote and recorded a soundtrack for a documentary about a little deli in Topeka’s ‘little-Russia’. Well, they have completed the filming and editing and my brother and I (and families) are excited about going to the opening night showing tomorrow night in Topeka at the Hollywood Theatres. Apparently there’s limited seating so hopefully we’ll be able to get in and find seats.

There are actually 4 showings going on over the next couple of weeks – 2 in Topeka, 1 in Lawrence, and 1 in Manhattan, KS.. Keep your eyes peeled for local listings / the details about the showings.

If you want to listen to the soundtrack my brother and I did for it, you can hear all of the songs on our myspace: www.myspace.com/thebillenbrothers

In other news, I might try to swing over to KC tonight to visit with my old high school friend, Andy Smith, whose band the Paper Route is currently on tour with Paramore. His band is pretty awesome – check them out if you have a minute: www.myspace.com/paperroute
