New Key Party EP!

(My apologies: I drafted this post a couple of weeks ago but completely forgot to put it up.)

You may remember Darren Gaines of The Key Party from his days in the criminally underrated The Great Shakes. Or you may have caught my post last year about The Key Party's excellent debut LP.

Well, I just discovered that Darren and the gang have released a brand new 5-song Demo EP. All of the songs are available for stream and free download at MySpace.

I gotta say -- this is a great bunch of songs. And my favorite of the bunch, "Hallelujahville", has quickly become one of my favorite songs of the year (then again, I've always been a sucker for a slide guitar).

Darren Gaines and the Key Party, "Hallelujahville"

Here's hoping that this EP gets Darren et al. the attention they deserve.
