Many of you have asked when we were going to make a music video. Well, we kept hemming and hawing - Doris wanted a video like Aha's "Take On Me", Ty wanted to do the dance from "Thriller", and Nate basically wanted Madonna's "Like a Prayer." Well, cartoonization, zombie makeup, and burning crosses aside, we were *thrilled* when our new friend Margaret Cho said she wanted to direct a video of "Young James Dean." We're exuberant beyond belief with the result (although Nate's still sad there's no stigmata scene).

To read Margaret's description of the video, you can read her blog at:

Introducing the Newest Girlyman!

We are pleased as punch - no, we're more pleased than that. We're utterly beside ourselves. No, we didn't have a baby. But we did adopt a very cute human.

JJ Jones is an old friend and a fantastic drummer whom we've crossed paths with many times over the years, and when we finally got to play with her over the past couple months, something just clicked. Our sound got bigger and closer to what we had all imagined it to be for years. So, what else could we do? We gagged her and threw her in the Girlyvan. We're excited for you to meet her.

Due to the overwhelming response to our new t-shirts, we're now sold out of most sizes and will be shutting down online sales for the time being. If you missed out, we'll have a new batch for sale at Girlyman shows starting in February.

Thanks again for supporting Girlyman, and happy holidays!

Love,
The Girlyteam

Soft, cheap, pretty, and just in time for the holidays: New paint-by-numbers Girlyman t-shirts are here!

We've designed two new t-shirts based on the paint-by-numbers artwork for Everything's Easy. See what they look like and order them at the Girlyman Store.

P.S. If you like what you see, it's a good idea to order now. We have a limited number of these shirts, so they're available online for a limited time. Your order will go out within 5-10 business days. Thanks for supporting Girlyman!

Girlyman will be finishing up the year in southern style with a handful of shows in North Carolina and Georgia, including another TWO SHOW night at Eddie's Attic in Decatur! We're so excited for these hometown (and close-to-hometown) shows. We'll have drummer extraordinaire JJ Jones with us, as well as our new CD, Everything's Easy, and some brand spankin' new Girlyman t-shirts too, just in time for the holidays!

Hope you can join us for these last few shows of 2009. Thanks for another great year, y'all! It's been the best yet, truly.

Thank you for making 'Everything's Easy' the #1 selling album on CDBaby!

There are 278,510 albums currently being sold on CD Baby, so this is quite an honor. We're so glad y'all are as excited about our new CD as we are.

We've posted a new video of us rehearsing for the October tour. Features us, JJ Jones of Po' Girl, and Nate's cat playing with Doris's dog. Inter-species love.

Girlyman's east coast CD release tour for the new album 'Everything's Easy' starts next week!

We'll be hitting cities from Maine down to Virginia, and we'll have our new friends Po' Girl (www.pogirl.net) with us. We just got back from a little Canada jaunt with them, and so far the energy has been through the roof. Collaboration! Revelry! Even more instruments onstage! And we'll be borrowing their drummer, JJ Jones, which means that Ty can play other things for a while. Creativity!

Hope you can come celebrate with us.

What on earth is happening? Is the sky falling? The ground trembling? Is it that 2012 movie with John Cusack?

No worries. It's just a new look for girlyman.com. We've added a couple things (like this news section), and we've let go of a few things (our rarely-updated blog). Stay tuned here for more updates from us (in a blog-like style), or you can follow us on Twitter (for the micro-blog experience).

much love,
