We’ve been keeping this one under wraps for the last few months as we’ve worked on it but we’re ready to officially announce it. On Friday May 15th, 2009 Unuka Records has booked its first show. We have to thank our good friends at GNYC for allowing us to work with them on this one. We’re really excited because we’re all originally from the Jersey Shore (Oakhurst and Toms River). Needless to say we pulled at all the stops and booked a few of our favorite up and coming local acts. The show is at the Beach Bar on the Funtown Pier side of the boardwalk in Seaside Heights. As mentioned in the title its part of the Seaside Music Festival on Friday May 15th with the show starting at 8. The lineup consists of Philadelphia, PA based the defog, New Palz, NY based Liz Welter (originally from Oakhurst, NJ), Unuka Records own Hip Like [blank], Farmingdale, NJ based Skull Motion, Neptune, NJ based Vanities and headlining, Toms River’s own Flights Kool.

Hip Like [blank] will be doing 2 sets tonight at Joey’s Cafe in Washingtonville, NY. The address is 19 E Main St. Washingtonville, NY. We’re pretty excited for them to venture in new grounds and build on their already strong NJ/NY fan base. If you’re in the area be sure to come over and hang out. Also, Liz Welter, a long time friend of Kiirstin’s will be opening the show. She’s a solid acoustic act. The show starts at 9:30 so its late enough for all us 9-5ers.

See ya there.

After countless hours of preparation the day is finally here. Hip Like [Blank] hits the stage at the School of Rock in South Hackensack, NJ with MAE to release their debut EP. Kiirstin and Mikal are welcoming Zack Passman on bass and Craig Williams on drums to fill out the sound and rock all of you tonight.

We’re stoked to have over 100 of our closest fans there to enjoy everything with us. Thanks for all your continued support whether you are coming or not. Look for the EP on iTunes and other digital outlets soon.
