Heypenny CD Release @ Mercy Lounge, 2/26/11

HEYoh! It’s what we’ve been waiting for for over two years…the full-length release of "A Jillion Kicks," by Nashville dance-pop group, HEYPENNY. Apparently this album has been a long time in the making, was at one point completely scrapped, and then re-recorded alllll over again to ultimately achieve that infectiously catchy, unique sound the persistent group has been looking for all along. Phew. Good thing they’re alive and here to tell us about it, which will all take place on Saturday at Mercy Lounge. Opening the show will be local artists Natalie Prass, Action!, and Mikky Ekko, who are also actually some of the collaborators on the Heypenny album. You’ll be getting the best of both worlds at Saturday’s show, so make sure you grab yourself a ticket in advance–(this one sounds like it juuuuust might be a sell-out)–but if you’d rather gamble your Saturday night, you can buy tickets at the door for $12 (assuming you want a CD included), or for $7 (no CD included wah wahhhhhh). Doors at 9 pm. HEYte to miss it!–Erin Manning
