Wild witch children Christmas are about to kick off a three-week tour of the American eastern regions and southern underbelly. The trouble starts on Wednesday in Austin, TX and will rip up to Boston by mid-November.

And as always, they’ll be slinging some rad merch: soap, tote bags, and other handmade goodies… not to mention their LP and various 7”. Stock up, ‘cause ‘tis the season and all… nothing like getting your friends and family some great Christmas presents.
Single from the upcoming self-titled Christmas LP (out 3/14 on Hivefives & Handshakes/CMRTYZ). Available for free download on the Christmas Bandcamp.
And if you dig this, then dig THIS: excerpts from the album will be polluting your ears this Saturday between 10-11pm, via KEXP 90.3FM in Seattle (with live streaming over the internet for all you non-Seattlites). Tune in.
Want to hear what Calvin Johnson and Christmas cooked up? Grab the recently-released “Namiot” 7” or K Singles Zip-Pak KZP009 (w/ a CJ and Emily Beanblossom duet!).
Mercurial Olympia rock misfits Christmas have two new releases in early 2011, including “Namiot,” a 7” Dub Narcotic Disco Plate (with a Selector Dub Narcotic remix on side B!), and self-titled 11-song LP produced by Arrington de Dionyso on Highfives & Handshakes/CMRTYZ in mid-March.
Christmas will also be part of K’s soon-to-be-announced SXSW showcase in March! These will be the first Christmas shows outside of the Pacific Northwest since the bands US tour in August & September 2010. This band slays live, so make sure to catch one of their sets!
“Namiot” (featured here previously) is now available for order from the K Mail Order Dept.
This song, “Whips of Love,” is the lead track on Christmas’ self-title debut full-length.
