Hey! How are you doing?
I’m writing in the name of a Brazilian indie-rock band called Single Parents (http://www.myspace.com/thesingleparents). Their debut EP was released on January with four tracks and it’s titled “Could You Explain?”. You can get a free download of it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?1jnzid1izfi
The group is now heading to the US, where they are performing in five venues around New York: Arlene’s Grocery (20 – April), Bar Nine (21), Lit Lounge (22), Pianos (24) and Trash Bar (26).
It’s really important for us to have some notes in American blogs and sites about this little tour, mainly because it will be the first time Single Parents will be playing in the country.
Please, would you help us on that?
Thanks a lot

Cheers,
Alex.
