Taters PARTY is here!
Starting to get a bit of airplay - or, in some cases, ether-play, including Mike Lidskin's TWIRL Radio in Sacramento and ShockPop! out of North Carolina. The first press we've seen is a nice write up in North of the James magazine. You can pick up this free monthly all around the Richmond area, or read it online. Here's a link to the Taters review, written by Anne Jones. Visit the Facebook page for the new album and let us know how you like it. We want you to like it. We'd like for you to LOVE it! Either way, we're good. Buy Taters PARTY directly from The Taters through PayPal |
