Our gift to you + updates
Hello fans, friends, and family
We appreciate your support and to reward that, we are offering our music to you for FREE.
It will only be available for free on bandcamp, since we paid to have it promoted on iTunes, Amazon, and many other markets.
You may be thinking, why? Simple answer, no one buys music anymore.
So our only request to you, is that you please promote the fact that you got our music
FOR FREE
Support us by purchasing tangible items, like physical copies of our EP and merch which are only available at our shows, so COME TO THE SHOWS :)
If you are a fan of us on Facebook or you follow our blog, share it with your friends.
Since musicians can’t make money selling music we now have to rely on word of mouth and performing live.
Updates
As of now we still have no bass player. The last 6 months have been hell without one.
If you know anyone who is passionate about music, and plays bass. Please send them our way. We are a serious band, with drive and motivation to promote, tour, and make music for the sake of making music.
-New Music: we plan on recording some tunes for your listening please this summer. Since we are beginning the phase out a few of our old songs.
-Our next show is July 7th at DubLand Underground Rochester, NY w/ Amigo The Devil.
as promised here is a link to our free music.

We are lucky enough to be playing TWO shows with these cats.
HIDDEN HOSPITALS
4.12.12 DOONS, Fredonia NY
&
4.15.12 BUG JAR, ROCHESTER NY
3.9.12 Goals
Some of you have probably been wondering what we have been up to lately.
So here’s an update!
Since our last show, we have been spending our days writing new songs, that we hope you learn to love. It has taken quite some time for the new line-up to finally gel and become an efficient writing machine. But we are finally there!
So far we have about 4 new songs that are not available anywhere but our live show. We are still unsure about whether or not we intend on doing a full length or another EP. As vague as this all sounds, we really have been focusing on our music more than anything right now.
Another one of our goals is to expand our fan base regionally. Our first weekend tour was a success and we cannot wait to play out of state again. But it takes a lot of time and money to organize such things. So if your out there begging for us to come to your town, please be patient and let us know where you want to see us play!
One way we plan on expanding our fan base is to participate in this years Warped Tour Battle Of The Bands, it is a long shot, but if we can get everyone’s help on this it can happen. It is up to you to vote daily and spread the word about Alberto Alaska.
Here is where you can vote: http://warped.battleofthebands.com/u/Alberto_Alaska
VOTE DAILY :)
If we can get 1,000 votes by March 30th we will make our ENTIRE EP, available for free download on bandcamp. But only if we get to 1,000. (about 50 votes per day starting today)
If we do reach this point, we will be honored but it cannot stop there! Bands who currently hold the lead already have 1000+ votes, Alberto Alaska really needs your help on this one.
Other than this, we have been looking into working with local promotional companies and even getting sponsors or endorsements. We all love this band and want to be successful, but all of our hard work alone can’t get us to that point. We need YOU the fan, the family member, the booking agent, talent buyer, venue owner, etc to help a group of musicians who are passionate about what they do.
Here is a list of our upcoming shows:
March 24th @ EBC - Fredonia, NYCANCELED- April 12th @ BJ’s - Fredonia, NY
- April 15th @ The Bug Jar - Rochester, NY
- April 21st @ Life Is Art Festival - Fredonia, NY
Keep checking back for more updates and keep voting :)

hermitologist:This is spot-on. Well said, Mr. Buckley.
