What's your perfect day?

I'm not asking a question; the question isthe name of Argonaut's latest EP, released on Strange Earth Records. If your perfect day has anything to do with rock 'n' roll that's heavy in sound and heart, that's saturated with the sweat of hard and pounding drums; includes a wonderfully mastered EP set on replay, lyrics hitting home and guitar driving hard, then your perfect day would include an afternoon listening party for Argonaut's What's your perfect day? Friday, then press the stage at Argonaut's show the same night at The New Frontier Lounge.

Tacoma's Argonaut is Brandon Boote on drums, Matt Sader on bass and vocals and Dave Takata and Chad Baker on guitar. Van Conner of Screaming Trees fame owns Strange Earth Records. Together, they have dropped a much-anticipated EP into the South Sound, with a splash and a ripple that resonates from Seattle to Portland and beyond.

Come celebrate with Argonaut, enjoy the magic that only happens at live shows and pick up What's your perfect day? You won't be disappointed.
