The wait is finally over! Our new album, The Ancient Cry of the Tyrannosaur, is almost here. To celebrate, we're releasing the first single from the album as a FREE download! Click here to visit our bandcamp site and get "Surfing or AIDS (I'll Take Surfing)" as a high quality mp3 or lossless file! You'll be able to get the full album on Aug. 29 at the EARL during our CD release party with The Bearfoot Hookers and Tendaberry. Buy advance tickets to the CD release party here.
If that's not enough AEWsomeness for you, check out this behind the scenes video, featuring the Death Skull Napalm Sword Choral Ensemble recording their sweet, sweet harmonies (WARNING! NSFW audio).

Vote for us! That's right, it's time once again for Creative Loafing's Best of Atlanta! Voting takes only a few seconds (you only have to vote in 10 categories for your ballot to count). This year, we really think we deserve to win a couple of these, so we're asking you to specifically vote for us in these two categories:
Song with an Atlanta reference: "Sock Man", "Stomp and Stammer", "Murder Kroger", "They Shoot Hipsters, Don't They?", or "Pandamonium" by Attractive Eighties Women
Local YouTube video: "Attractive Eighties Women Need Your Help"
Feel free to vote for us in any other category you want, but come on! We all know that AEW have the best YouTube video this year, and the best local references in our songs!

Well, it's official. We're the best band in Atlanta!
Creative Loafing has asked us to headline their annual Best of Atlanta voting party. This year's event is at the Masquerade and will feature free food and beer for all who attend. Cover is only $5! Hardy Morris of Dead Confederate will be doing a special acoustic set to open the evening. See you all there!

Kickstarter update
We've broken the $1,500 mark thanks to all of your generous donations. We still want to hit $2000 by July 10 (if we do, everyone who pre-orders our new album will get an exclusive t-shirt). With your help, we can do it! To pre-order the album, just donate $20 to our Kickstarter campaign. Also, for one day only we're offering a very special prize. If you donate $100 to our campaign before 6 PM today, you'll receive two (2) tickets to Eddie Vedder tonight at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre! Plus, you'll receive all the other prizes that donating $100 gets you! That's nearly half off the face value ($180)! More details can be found on our Kickstarter Page. So, if there are any Pearl Jam fans on our mailing list, you've just hit the jackpot. Also, don't forget, we're still uploading exclusive videos to the Kickstarter blog that only donors can see. We'll probably put a new one up later this week, so donate today!
See you at the show!

Dear fans, friends, and family:
We need your help. We are trying to raise $1,000 by July 10 to print the first 500 copies of our new album.
We've spent the last three months in the studio recording and we're almost ready to unleash this beast upon an unsuspecting public. Imagine Exile on Main Street, crossed with Led Zepplin IV, add a dash of Reign in Blood, and I think you get the picture. CD players and car stereos across the Southeast will be melting this August, not from the oppressive summer heat, but from the mind-burning, earth-scorching, soul-splitting sounds of Attractive Eighties Women!
What do you get in return for helping us? Just visit our project page to see the list of fabulous prizes. Donations as small as $1 help, but as you donate more the rewards get better and better. Also, you will only be charged for your donation if we actually meet our $1,000 goal by the deadline.
We've spent a lot of time and money on this new album already, because we love making music and we love you. Without our fans, we'd have no reason to do this. We feel this is the very best work we've ever created and we want to share it with the world. We want you to hear this album. We want you to see the artwork and hold it in your hands. Please help us make that possible. DONATE TODAY!
xoxo,
Attractive Eighties Women

I am going to be redesigning our website very soon. This one is old and crappy, so I probably won't be adding many more updates to it until the new one is launched (sometime in the next couple of months, hopefully). In the mean time, if you want to keep up with us, the best places to check out are our mailing list, myspace, facebook and twitter. We also have a calendar feed you can subscribe to in either ical or google calendar.
Our friend Julio got some great video of the first 16 minutes of our show at the EARL last Friday. We encourage all our fans to document our shows via photographs, video or audio recordings! If you have a recording from one of our shows you'd like to share, just contact us and we'll put a link here.
We're on twitter now, so follow us. We'll be in the studio all weekend working on our new album so expect a lot of pictures and updates.
