Since debuting at The Station last year on March 15 during a crazy show that also featured their longtime friends Tough Shits, Gold Crowns have gone on to perform at some big shows at Kung Fu Necktie and events like the Art Star Craft Bazaar. However, the band that features former members of Dark Horse & the Carousels, Sweatheart, and The Invisible Friends has taken a bit of a break since the fall to concentrate on some much-needed recording. Their first offering is a 7” that will be released on a new local label Founding Fathers Records (run by their bassist Max Jonas). The band will celebrate their debut album at the bar where it all began tonight, and they’ll be joined by the always impressive Adam & Dave’s Bloodline as well as Far-Out Fangtooth’s Joe Kusy & the Big Shirts.
