I have been putting Tallboy magazine out for years. It went digital for a while (we called them “blogs”), but that never felt right. This special four-issue, 164-page series was part of a crowdfunding campaign for my 2017 release, “Minor Fits.” In it, you’ll find short fiction (some of which I’ve told on stage); backstories about my most well-known songs; and confessions from the music industry—so it’s funny and full of idiots. Now that “Minor Fits” is out in the world, I’m offering the entire series on Bandcamp. I’ve put the same craft and quality into this that I’ve put into my music, and I hope you’ll check it out. Includes unlimited streaming of You Shook Me All Night Long (AC/DC cover) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. BUY TALLBOY MAGAZINE AT...

Backstory: As part of the Minor Fits crowdfunding campaign, I offered a four-issue special edition of Tallboy magazine, and now the offer is available to you, too. Wait…what is it? It’s hand-crafted, artisanal literature in the old-school punk ‘zine tradition. (That’s fancy-talk for “stories I’ve told on stage, scans of lyrics directly from my notebooks, the history behind the songs, and more.”) If you want in, you will receive FOUR issues by end of 2018 (two are already out, but we’ll catch you up), plus a free download of AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long,” from the Minor Fits sessions.

This includes deluxe editions, unreleased live tracks, podcasts, singles, and all of that. That’s the motherlode.)and of course, you can:STREAM ON SPOTIFY (check out playlists, too) STREAM ON APPLE MUSIC (if you can figure it out, that...

Final tally. Guys, this was amazing. I did not know what would happen, or whether you’d even be into the crowdfunding thing, and it exceeded every expectation. There are a couple of house concerts we still need to schedule, and I’m always open to book more, especially now that I know you want them. Hit me up. If you missed the crowdfunding deadline, I’ve decided to keep making and selling some of the hotter items: BUY MERCHANDISE (Lyric prints, signed lithographs, T-shirts, subscription to Tallboy magazine, etc.) BUY MUSIC (The largest selection of my work on ANY platform, includes deluxe editions, unreleased live tracks, podcasts, singles, and more) or STREAM ON SPOTIFY (check out playlists, too) STREAM ON APPLE MUSIC (if you can figure it out, that is…) I’ve loved hanging with you, getting you the new stuff and preparing the next stuff from a much stronger place. So. Happy tears, for real. This has been gratifying, validating, and inspiring. Thank you for that. Here’s to a great 2018....

Folks: The CDs, T-Shirts, and lithographs are out. Tallboy magazine is on Issue #2. Many of the house concerts have been played, and the Omens are in the mail. This has been the most gratifying year of my career. Your support of Minor Fits has been overwhelming, and I’ll never forget it. But bars must eventually announce last call, vampires must return to their crypts, and campaigns must come to an end, so: THE MIKE ERRICO CROWDFUNDING PAGE WILL CLOSE ON JANUARY 1 This means that it’s time to take your last looks. No matter what you buy, I hope you’ll pick up your free downloads of the new album; the new recording of “Daylight”; the full-blown cover of AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long”; the deluxe edition of Pictures of the Big Vacation; and the Minor Fits demos. It’s been gratifying to be able to give all this stuff to you. Especially since you helped me make it. So. That’s it! Take a look around. One more T-shirt? Lyric prints look cooler than you thought? Now’s the time. Thanks again. Let’s have a great 2018. Cheers,...
