We're going to put aside our Fashawn gushing for a while to talk about another local act with a big release today. That's rock band Fay Wrays who are releasing "Mata Hari" via JAXart Records. It's a digital release, so check your local iTunes.
Or, if you want to pick up a physical copy, stop by the band's CD release party on Thursday night at Audie's Olympic (flier below). You can read more about the band and the new release in this Bee story.
As a gift to all you Beehive readers, Fay Wrays have offered up a free mp3 of their rock goodness. Check out "Weatherman" below. We're not lying. It's super good.

Also, check out Benji doing "Weatherman" solo and unplugged this past summer on 90.7 KFSR. The post includes two other Fay Wrays favorites, performed live on local radio.

you can also hear their song broken wings, along with a good interview, in episode 32 of the view looks good from here, fresno.
Anybody else?
Can't wait for the show. I'm bringing Benji a big bag of flaming hot cheetos.
Sure Mike Oz,
There is an older Fay Wrays bootleg I recorded that can be found here:

Plus they will be on our next Dorktown Podcast that should be up Thursday morning.
Hey Mike Oz:
Here's a podcast you did back in 2007 that includes The Nancies (includes members of Fay Wrays).

Why don't you do podcasts anymore, you lazy ass?
Just to clarify. faywrays started back in the summer of 06.
OK, my apologies. I'll adjust my previous comment.
Benji McEntee for mayor!
thanks everyone for posting stuff up here ... thanks Oz for all your work ... appreciate it everyone!!!
