Announcing the Piñataland cover song contest

The rules are simple.

1) Record a cover of a Piñataland song. Audio, video, whatever. Recording quality doesn’t matter. It doesn’t necessarily have to be from one of our albums. Could be you just heard it live. We’ll provide chords/lyrics to any songs on request.

2) Send us a copy of your version by the end of May.

3) We’ll post all the entries on our Facebook page.

4) The maker of our favorite version of one of our songs gets to come into the studio with us to help produce a track on the upcoming album.

It’s really that simple. So don’t be shy. And don’t be afraid to make the song your own. As people who regularly change chords and/or lyrics when we cover songs, we’re all for hearing different takes on our stuff.

Barbès‎, Brooklyn, 8:00 p.m.

As all collapses around our ears, let’s take a moment to remember 2 things:

1. We still have it better than the pitiful denizens of that vast orgy of murder, the sea

2. If you’re out of work with no massive inheritance squirreled away in your collection of silken purses, Piñataland’s show this Friday at Barbès is free

So come and feel wanted and welcome as we spin heartwarming musical tales of:
imminent collapse
new jersey ‘leapers’
lovelorn astronauts
telegraph hoaxes
credit catastrophes
forgotten national anthems
a-bomb worshipping scientists
beloved atheists
kentucky conspiracies

and much more…
