10 Year Anniversary
Friends, it is with a cornucopia of emotions that we'd like to announce The Pinstripes 10th Anniversary show at the Southgate House Revival on Friday,
March 28th. The show will be a celebration of all the love and joy we've shared together over the years and also a reminder of the fantastic community we are a part of.
The show will not be without a touch of melancholy as well, as it denotes one of the last shows you'll see us at for a little while as we enter into a
new phase of existence. With our beloved brother Chris living in Chicago, and the imminent departure of Matt (who has accepted a position with Square in NYC!),
along with "life changes" and whatnot, performing live has invariably gotten more complicated.
However, we still have several unreleased tracks new and old that we'd love to get into your hands and one never really knows when we might show up at a bar / club / festival / basement / party near
you. It will probably just be a little more rare these days.
So from the depths of our beings, we'd like to offer a sincere thank you to ALL of the support we've received throughout this amazing journey.
We hope you can all come join in and celebrate 10 years with us at the The Southgate House Revival. See you soon

We're Going International!
We've just learned via The Counter Rhythm Group that our music has been put into regular rotation at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, along with other local artists like The Tillers, Shiny and the Spoon and more. A community supporting its own art, how beautiful.
On the subject of going international, we're playing our first shows out of the country in Canada on December 7th (Toronto) and 8th (Montreal). Check out our shows list for more details.

Back on the Block
And it feels like home.
After a 1,500 mile excursion with our friends, The English Beat, we are back home. The tour included stops in St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, Atlanta, Pensacola and more. We'd like to thank the Beat for showing us a great time out on tour and also a huge thanks to all of our new friends we made along the way. We hope to see you out at a show soon.
The Pinstripes: International Touring Sensations...?
2012 has already been a great year for the Pinstripes. Next month we get to add another notch on this year's successes list: Our first international shows. We'll be playing two shows in Canada in December: Friday, December 7th in Toronto, Ontario and Saturday, December 8th, in Montreal, Quebec. We could not be more excited and we hope to make lots of new friends. If you know people in the area, send 'em out! For more info on the shows, check our shows list for more info.
The Pinstripes will, "cuddle you and give you cab fare too."
The lovely miss Amanda Jane wrote a really nice review of "The Pinstripes/I" on her site, A Perfect Mess, and has been spinning some our tunes on her Chestnut Radio program of the same name. There are some great quotables in this thing. Read it here.

Project Successfully Funded
We did it! ...well, truthfully, you did it. This past Friday, October 28th, at 11:59pm marked the end of our campaign and we clocked in with a final total of $5,700. Thanking all of you a million times would not begin to do justice to how we as a collective feel and it would not explain all that you've done for us. Now we've got to hold up our end of the bargain and get this album out to all of you and the world!
…So what's next?
First thing's first...we placed an order to Brooklyn Phono this week to begin pressing "The Pinstripes - I" onto high quality vinyl. From there we've still got to screen print all of the record jackets as well as work with the All Night Party on production of the CD version of the album. We've got artwork that we'll be ready to reveal to our backers soon and getting ready to kick things into high gear for this.
Backers:
We will need info from you very soon as far as where to send our rewards. When that time comes, we'll be sending out a survey to collect all of that info through Kickstarter. We'll make sure to keep you updated on the status of everything as much as possible. Right now, an estimated guess of when you can expect to receive the physical rewards would be early 2012. Until then, sit tight and look out for more info, as there's sure to be much more revealed in the coming weeks.
Everyone else:
If you weren't able to make a donation for our campaign but are still interested in the release of "The Pinstripes - I", fear not! Look at the top left part of this website. You can enter your email address in and sign up for our mailing list. We're going to be sending out updates on everything album related through that, so that's the best way to stay in the know.
And last, if you have any questions about any of this process or are just need some more of the Pinstripes in your life, you can always drop us a line at thepinstripes@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you!
Thanks again everyone and we hope you are as excited for "The Pinstripes - I" as we are.
Love,
The Pinstripes
