Surfer Blood & Lil BUB Team Up for 7″ Split,
Out May 13th via Joyful Noise (pre-order)
Surfer Blood has teamed up with everyone’s favorite magical space cat, Lil BUB, for a 7″ split due out May 13th via Joyful Noise Recordings. Featuring brand new Surfer Blood track “Evil Cat” on Side A and BUB’s contribution “BUB the Builder” on Side B, the 7″ is currently available for pre-order. It’s limited to 500 copies on special “Eye of Sauron” colored vinyl.
100% of profits will benefit long-time Surfer Blood guitarist Thomas Fekete’s cancer treatment. Currently unable to tour and make a living, Thom has relied on the generous donations of fans & friends via his GoFundMe page, sales of his new solo album Burner, and various other fundraisers (the most recent being an auction of previously-unreleased tracks from artists like Yo La Tengo, Guided By Voices, Cults, Real Estate, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart & others, which are still available for download with a donation of $10 or more.)
