House of Awesome - Five Year Anniversary!!

thewhompingwillows:

I can’t believe it’s been five years since I released Welcome to the House of Awesome! This album is by far my best-selling and most-loved album of all time, so much so that I sometimes find myself wondering why people like it as much as they do. When I insist that Demons at the Helm and Wizard Party Forever!!! are better, people just shake their heads and tell me to stop talking. I guess I can’t argue with the people!

In any case, I AM very proud of how successful this album has become, and I’ve decided to honor its five-year anniversary with an incredible deal: I’ve created a limited edition, 22-track version of the album that I will be selling in the form of a homemade CDR. This will allow me to keep costs low and offer House of Awesome enthusiasts a chance to own every version of these songs that I currently have in my possession! Specifically, the CDR will include the entire original album, as well as the Rock n’ Roll Redux EP and five exclusive live tracks! Most of the live tracks come from my legendary full-band performance at Wrockstock ‘08 — the one that was threatened by tornado warnings, and the one that many fellow wizard rock bands cited as their inspiration for assembling full bands at major events. There is also a live track from a house party in Providence RI, during which my cousin Erin chews me out for being a “manwhore” and using Wizard Rock Heart Throb as a means of gaining sympathy from adoring female fans. Winky face! Warning: that live track contains explicit language due to my cousin’s potty mouth!

If this all sounds good to you, feel free to bop on over to my online store and get yourself a copy before they sell out! It’s only $12 plus shipping for 22 tracks of awesomeness!

Love,

Matt

Song for hayleyghoover.

Matt and I wrote this song for Hayley because she is the best and we want to cheer her up. 

Hayley’s channel: http://www.youtube.com/hayleyghoover
Matt’s channel: http://www.youtube.com/thewhompingwillows

I filmed a (fancier, longer, and more serious) video for one of Matt’s new songs and it’s really cool. Plus it stars Nina, the other Moaning Myrtle, if you’ve been missing her. Watch it and leave Matt a comment!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qrUG8IfXQg
