Help Us Let People Know About Tonight

While we're lucky enough to have the love, support, promotional skillz and knowledge of yesboyicecream records to push the vinyl release of Tonight, but we decided to do a lot of the promotion ourselves with the tools that the information age has provided us.

And that's where you come in: there are LOTS of very little things that you can do to help Tonight get to a wider audience.

If you like Tonight, don't just appreciate it quietly in your headphones: let people know that you like it!

Share Tonight now

Other Ways To Share

The easiest way to share is to just email your music-loving friends, especially if those friends have wildly popular music blogs or work for internationally known music magazines. But even just those people you think would like it would appreciate knowing about it. But there's other easy ways too:

If you're on Facebook, let your friends know. You can share the Tonight page (look for the Facebook icon below the album cover). Click 'Like' at the top of our Facebook page if you haven't already, and then share the bigger announcements from us (click the 'share' button at the bottom of the post when it appears on your wall). And click the 'Like' button below the album cover on this page if you haven't already.

If you're on Twitter, follow us and retweet the big announcement tweets. Or just retweet this one.

If you're on last.fm, you can post something in the shoutbox on our page or on the Tonight album page,   and love one or all of the tracks, but mostly, if you're sending your listens to last.fm (aka "scrobbling"), you can just listen to Tonight a lot.

If you're on Google Reader or Buzz, share the Tonight page. Look for the Google Reader/Buzz icon below the album cover. And include a note so people know that it's not just some random share.

If you have a blog, you can REALLY help. Post something about the album, and link back to our site. You can post an mp3 or two (if you can't decide which one, post the title track, "Tonight!"), though please don't post the whole album. There's also embeddable widgets for the whole album and each song at our page at Bandcamp. And please link back to our site somewhere in the post!

Also:
Rate both our albums wherever you see them. You can rate albums on Amazon, iTunes and eMusic, among others, and if you're feeling generous and wordy, you can write a review on those stores as well.

One thing we want to be clear about is that you should always be sincere. Don't do this out of obligation; do it because you want to help us out and because you genuinely like the record.  And if you do help us...we appreciate that more than we could ever say. Thanks.
