Hello, friends of Luke Warm and the Cool Hands! How we feelin\u2019? We\u2019re feelin\u2019 not so bad. Maybe we could go out on a limb and say, pretty good. Hey, while we\u2019ve got your attention, we\u2019ve got a question for you:<\/span><\/p>\n

What Makes You Happy?<\/span><\/p>\n

You might hear that question a bit for a little while here. That\u2019s because it\u2019s the name of our sophomore album, which is being released Friday, November 25th<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span>(so, late, late, late spring, right? Because I think that\u2019s what we said last time we talked).\u00a0 That\u2019s pretty cool, right? We figured Black Friday because we want to do our part to get this economy roarin\u2019 along.\u00a0<\/span>And the next day, Saturday, November 26th<\/sup>, we\u2019re having a big ole party at The Hook and Ladder\u00a0Theater & Lounge<\/a><\/span><\/span> in South Minneapolis. We\u2019re honored to be joined on stage with Ryan Young of Trampled by Turtles<\/a> for the evening.\u00a0 We\u2019ll also have a bunch of other friends join us for our set, which will be followed by another fabulous band, the Stringdingers<\/a>, who will finish the evening with sweet, sweet music for your ears. We\u2019re going to play some music, tell some stories, and maybe imbibe a beer or two. We\u2019d really like to see you there.\u00a0 Bring some friends \u2013 let\u2019s make it merry!<\/span><\/p>\n

What Makes You Happy?<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s an appropriate question at this time of year when we are giving thanks. Although, we might say that while the questions \u201cWhat Makes You Happy?\u201d and \u201cWhat are you thankful for?\u201d are similar in spirit, are they different in scope? Maybe each should be considered separately. We know what makes us happy is seeing all our friends and family get down on a Saturday night. We’d also be pretty thankful for that, too. Hmm, they are hard to separate!<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, enough philosophical weirdness \u2013 let\u2019s talk about malts.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Makes You Happy? can be thought of as a nice malt (apologies to the milkshake lovers (or should I say malt powder haters?)). We\u2019ve got the magic that\u2019s created when you mix all the ingredients together just right. LWATCH is the ice cream \u2013 the base of our delicious concoction, true; but without all the other added parts, it\u2019s just ice cream.\u00a0 You know? We had Ryan Young add some of his delicious flavor that can be tasted throughout the entire album. We also had numerous special guests add their flavors, too. Some tunes are more chocolate malt. Some are more butterscotch. There might even be a straight up milkshake tune in there, too, in case you aren’t on the malt bandwagon. Hold on a minute, we\u2019re getting hungry here. Be back in a jif (short for jiffy, not some weird pronunciation of the moving picture format). <\/span><\/p>\n

What were we talking about? Oh yeah, flavors\u2026<\/p>\n

We tried to create an album that had something for everybody, but most importantly, it was made for us. We kinda thought, what makes us happy? And we followed that ethos throughout the making of the album. We worked long and hard, and made lots of minor changes that nobody would probably ever notice; but if it didn’t make us happy, what’s the point?\u00a0 You know? Then we got a superb artist, Aaron Renier<\/a>, to whip up some whimsical artwork to adorn our album. Ultimately, we had something that made us very happy, and we hope it makes you happy, too.\u00a0 So start saving your allowances and pick up a copy of What Makes You Happy? when it comes out in a few short weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope you have a fun Halloween and a real nice Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

We’ll see you folks real soon!\"161126-lwatch-poster\"<\/p>\n

Happy & Thankful,<\/p>\n

LWATCH<\/p>\n
