and bringing so many friends! What a parties.

“In a time of laptops and drum machines, the roots-blues the band plays is a welcome change. Enthusiastic and talented, the Stone Foxes knocked it out of the park for the release of Bears & Bulls.” - Relix
That is all. But not ALL.
With the utmost sincerity,
-The Stone Foxes
Avi, Shannon, Spence, Aaron, and Aaron (Japan)

Hey Everyone,
Major News:
1. Rapidly Approaching LA Release Show @ Viper Room
2. Cafe Du Nord Sold Out!
3. Avi dies during show, is resurrected for encore, re-dies post show, and is re-resurrected in time to pack up his equipment
Lengthy Bits:
1. On The Calendar:
• Jul 29th Sausalito, CA @ BSSP Summerfest
• Jul 30th West Hollywood, CA @ Viper Room * Los Angeles CD Release Show
• Jul 31st Visalia, CA @ The Cellar Door
2. Our San Francisco Release show was PACKED and it was a confirmed 96 degrees on stage. It was also a confirmed SELLOUT show! They had to turn people away!! Thank you to all who came and very sorry to those who couldn’t get in. The scenario has inspired a hot new song entitled “You Snooze, You Win” written especially for you, late dude.
3. For those who missed it, during a hearty rendition of “Reno” Saturday night at Cafe Du Nord Avi died. Then just in time to play an encore, he came back to life. After the last note was played, he re-died on a couch backstage. With enough prodding from Spence he was once again conveniently resurrected to pack up his amplifier and carry it to the van. He’s still alive now.
Over and Out see you at the Viper Room!

Blip is a site where you pick your favorite songs and play them one at a

Amoeba Records on Haight St. in San Francisco. In other news, on July 21st we
will all die happy. So don’t miss our last show ever!

Let’s talk next week and discuss how elated we are to be a part of something.
A big week for us has arrived!! Let’s outline why:
• Album physically available on July 6th
• New York Post to review “Bears and Bulls” in print on July 6th (wish us luck)
• Booked to play live In-Studio on Blip.fm July 14th
• Record release show and party on July 17th
• Aaron elected Governor of Ohio
• Featured on NPR’s “World Cafe” July 5th
Further Detail:

The New York Post is supposedly going to review our album on July 6th. If it’s good, read it. If it’s not, pretend you never heard this.
We have become fans of this website where you post whatever song you are feeling: www.blip.fm/thestonefoxes. They even asked us to come “blip” an in-studio performance on July 14th at Noon, which I assume means to play live music.
