WARM IN THE WINTER RECORD RELEASE PARTY





















Tonight at Los Globos in Los Angeles is the official release party for Glass Candy's new double single. Two killer tracks that finally give us a peak at BODY WORK. They'll have the cd version with them tonight. Chromatics is going to be there too. So get there early because it's going to be insane. The bands have sick new shirts and traveling with the entire Italians Do It Better store. As usual everything's cheap. For everyone who isn't on the west coast...we'll have the cds & colored vinyl 12"s next week here in the store.
