Lo-Pan: Sasquanaut Vinyl Pre-Orders Coming; Tour Update
At this point, I don’t even know what I’d do if a week went by and I didn’t have some news to post about Ohio four-piece Lo-Pan, who just wrapped a tour alongside Torche and KENmode and will head out over the course of July and August with the likes of Borracho, Devil to Pay, Gozu and Weedeater. Their second album, 2009’s Sasquanaut, is about to receive the vinyl treatment for the first time, so along with that and an excuse to put all their upcoming gigs in one place at the same time — at least those that have been to this point announced — there was no way I could resist.
Plus, all the whatnot about pre-orders and that gives me an excuse to post the stream of the album, which is an automatic win:

More psyched for this than I probably aught to be. I’m such a sucker for a good preorder package…and Lo-Pan. I’m still pissed that I spent all my cash on beer and had nothing left to buy whatever they were selling at Ace of Clubs way back when that place was still around, but this sorta makes up for it.
