PJ Bond 22 April: Vienna, Austria repress and European tour
11/12/2011

Our favorite singer songwriter Mr. PJ Bond is coming back to Europe to do a full scale European and UK tour. On the mainland dates PJ will be accompanied by no other than Mr. Greg Laraigne. The UK dates will all be with our friends Bad Ideas. 

Greg Laraigne has a debut LP coming up called “Story Tellers, True Believers” and just released a new song “Nothing to write home about” which you can check out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m_HiQqpSiQ&feature=youtu.be

Bad Ideas also has finished there debut album which will be called “Murder of Gods”, The new songs are not online yet but you can listen to the complete “Dear Regret” EP here: http://www.myspace.com/badideasuk

We at Shield Recordings strongly suggest you to check out both amazing artists! 

Since the first pressing of the PJ Bond 12 inch “22 April, Vienna, Austria” almost sold out we did a repress in support of the European Tour. We pressed 220 copies on clear vinyl. With a brand new screen print on the B side the records look awesome. Thanks to our friends of Fairtrademerch.com we got 4 different colors of screen print.
