Soft Targets tracks on our myspace page
We’ve added both rockin’ tracks from the new (but delayed) Soft Targets 7″, ”The Kids Want Action“ and ”Don’t Ask Why,“ to the Loud Devices myspace page — so now you can preview the record both there and on the Soft Targets myspace page. Enjoy! And we promise the vinyl is coming!

Just a quick post to note that you can preview the new Soft Targets 7″ over on the Soft Targets myspace page. (!)
Record release show — without the records
Well tonight’s Soft Targets show at the Mutiny was supposed to be the record release show for the new 45, but we still don’t have the records. (In fact, they still haven’t been pressed! Word from the plant, simply: “Seven-inches are backed up.”) We’ll let you know more when we know more, but hopefully we’ll have the vinyl soon. In the meantime, tonight’s free show happens as planned, there just won’t be any new records to buy. (But that means you’ll have more money for those frosty mugs of beer.)
One final caveat: the real Soft Targets are playing tonight at the Mutiny, 2428 N Western Ave; strangely, Tallahassee, Florida band (myspace), strangely also called the Soft Targets, will be playing an unrelated show just across the street from the Mutiny. Don’t be fooled! It is to the Mutiny that you want to go to see the real Soft Targets from Chicago.
7″ Release Show 9/12 @ the Mutiny, Chicago
The Record Release Show for the new Soft Targets 7″ single “The Kids Want Action” b/w “Don’t Ask Why” will take place this Friday night, September 12, 9 PM at the Mutiny (myspace link).
The Mutiny is located at 2428 N Western Ave (just north of Fullerton) in Chicago (map).
The Titmice (myspace) and The Party Downers are playing, too.
This is a FREE SHOW! 21+
UPDATE (2008-09-12): This show is still happening, but as we don’t have any vinyl yet (how often have you hear that one?), it’s not so much a record release show.
Soft Targets 8/30 @ Bottom Lounge, Chicago
The new Soft Targets seven-inch is being manufactured as we speak. “The Kids Want Action” b/w “Don’t Ask Why” is a high-powered slab of double gold and will be released as Device-004 in the Loud Devices catalog. We’ll be announcing the official release date soon.
In the meantime, Soft Targets are headlining the new Bottom Lounge this Saturday, August 30th. Titmice (myspace), Papillion (myspace), and Mr. Russia will also play. Doors at 8pm. 21+. The Bottom Lounge is located at 1375 W. Lake Street in Chicago (map).
