The OFFICIAL Weathervane Music Launch Party -
Thursday, June 25 at Kung Fu Necktie in Philly

PHILADELPHIA, PA June 1, 2009 –

Hi, everyone!

It was a great weekend here at Weathervane, and things are really starting to get busy! On Friday we had an incredible evening with Sunset and Philebrity at Fishtown’s 2424 Studios. The space was beautiful and the band took full advantage of it. We also got to reveal a sneak peak of the first Weathervane Project Series to an incredible response. We can’t wait to show it to everybody! A big thanks to everyone who came out and donated to the cause, and to everyone involved in putting this together – especially Sunset, Philebrity, and 2424 Studios.

But Friday’s success got us even more excited to announce the OFFICIAL Weathervane Music Launch Party at Kung Fu Necktie on Thursday, June 25 – a viewing and listening party followed by performances from rising Philly bands and friends of Weathervane, The Armchairs and Papertrigger. We’ll watch the videos from the first two sessions with Sunset and East Hundred, which, if I do say so myself, have turned out to be pretty damn amazing. Then the bands will take the stage, and if you know anything about either of them, you know they always put on a good time. Tickets are $10, and proceeds will go directly to benefiting Weathervane, raising some much needed funds to keep this dream going.

We’ll also be unveiling the first of our series of Commemorative Posters – hand silk screened, signed, limited edition prints. The man behind our 2009 series is Philadelphia/NY-based artist Mark Pernice, and he’s been putting together some really beautiful stuff for us that you can check out now on our blog. The individual posters and the entire 2009 series will be available for sale soon, and on-hand at the Launch Party, so keep your eye out for those, and check out more of Mark’s work at his site.

Buy tickets for the Launch Party here, and don’t forget that in the coming weeks we’ll be releasing the video introduction to Weathervane and our first two projects. We’ll see you in a few weeks!

Love,
