Free, as in $0. As you can tell, I don’t have time to put into it any longer. If I can’t find a home, I’ll archive it for a few years, then it’ll slip under the waves one night while you sleep.

If there are respondents to this (use the Contact page), I reserve the right to pick who gets it under what will surely seem to you completely arbitrary and unfair criteria, but to me will appear as my best attempt at vetting.

I’ll host it for one year and transfer the domain name.

The Dandy Warhols Present Logan Lynn + The Gentry ON TOUR

Logan Lynn + The Gentry, The Hugs, and Little Black Bats

Logan Lynn is touring in support of his recently released and critically acclaimed CD, From Pillar to Post, on The Dandy Warhol’s indie Beat The World Records. His three CDs have generated an extraordinary amount of buzz, particularly in the Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, and New York LGBT communities. Additionally, his videos have been well received on MTV, VH1, and LOGO channels. Comparisons ranging from The Postal Service to M83, Lykke Li to Cut Copy, and even Ladytron, Goldfrapp, and indie rockers Metric, are often applied to Logan’s music.

The Gentry, a separate entity providing Rock & Roll to Logan’s emo-tronic sound, also have a new record recently released entitled ‘Sex by the Unit’, which sports an awesome condom-like package which is well worth the $10 I paid for mine. You even have to tear it like a condom package.

Recent shows in the Pacific Northwest have been raucous parties, featuring lines stretching around the block, and satisfied partied-out party-goers filtering out into the early morning. The Oregon Music News recently profiled Logan’s growing impact on the Portland live music scene.

This past Sunday, June 27, marked the launch of Logan’s West Coast tour, starting in Seattle at The Cuff’s Gay Pride Block Party and playing to an estimated crowd of 6,000.
