Limited Edition Microcosm digipaks are now being carried at Reckless Records in Wicker Park and should be showing up at their other locations in the near future.

Cole’s Bar in Logan Square has invited us to play their Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival after-party. That means you have not one, but two opportunities to see Automata for FREE on July 24th (7:30pm at the Cole’s Bar stage and again at 11:30pm at Cole’s Bar). Fancy that.

We’re happy to announce that we’ll be playing the Cole’s Bar Stage at the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival this year. We play at 7:30pm on Belden, just off of Milwaukee Avenue, on Saturday, July 24th. This event will be very fun and very free, so you should come out.

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to Lincoln Hall last night (and the after party). Along with Aktar Aktar and Dastardly (who were most excellent), we managed to break the record for most walk-in tickets sold at Lincoln Hall. ‘Twas a special night indeed. Looks like many good things are on the horizon for the Automata crew.

Our good friends are throwing an after party following our Lincoln Hall show tonight. We’ll be playing an impromptu set, chalk full of… well, we don’t exactly know just yet. But, it will be good. And there will be libations for those who throw donations our way. For more information, check out the event page on Facebook. In other news: Reviewsic has just run an interview with Justin Martin. Feast your eyes upon its glory.

Finally, stay tuned for some exciting news.

Our show at Lincoln Hall with Aktar Aktar and Dastardly is quickly approaching and we’ve whipped up some nifty fliers to promote the occasion. If you’d like to help us let people know about the show, you can click the image, print it out and hang it up in your neighborhood. We also have a Facebook event page that you can invite your friends to.

See you next Saturday!
