#NerdsUnite: YAY!!! New @AnnieAuto!!

AHHH!!! DUDES!!! Just got an email from @iamfrench letting me know that @annieauto's debut album is finally out!

Dude, I LOVE me some Annie Automatic. I got to kick it with them last year in studio, and seriously - they are the NICEST people on the planet just following their passion. So so so much love and respect!!!

BAHHHH!! Here's a love note from French:

It's finally here! Our Debut Album, which we've spent the better portion of the last year working on, is DONE.

Let me be the 1st to say, Thank You, for all the Love and Support - all the Inspiration and Encouragement we've received from people looking forward to it! It helps.

...And an Enormous Thank You,
to everyone who has been a part of it and helped us to really be able to do what we want with it,
to make something we're so proud of.

It will be available everywhere, 8/23.

It's called "Don't Look Down" -
so that we all remember that the key to Living and Loving the way we want is to not think too much and just go for it. Be Brave... You're worth it.

Mixed by Kyle Moorman, and Mastered by Tom Baker, it came out Huge.

The 1st single, "Burn This Prison", will be available EVERYWHERE online on July 12th, and all your local radio stations will have it - so be sure to call em and tell em to play it :)

("Burn This Prison" is a story told from the voice of an innocent man, wrongly imprisoned- he takes us through life in a cage, and tells us about the Home and the Love he hasn't seen in 10 years, and how he plans to escape...and whether he succeeds, or is killed in the process, it's his last attempt to do what's right)

We'll release 2 other singles leading up to the Album release - "Miss McKenzie" (8/2) and "Dear, Charlie" (8/16). Stay Tuned for more info on those.

ALSO THIS MONTH - We're extremely excited to announce that, along with our friend, British screenwriter SAM SCOTT and the amazing illustrator RUSSELL DAUTERMAN, we have put together the 1st issue of a RADICAL Ashcan Comic Book:

"Annie Automatic: Killer In Disguise" 

Well hello unreleased leaked image ... where did you come from??? *snicker snicker snicker*

This will be distributed directly to fans, in Limited Edition form, by our lovely street team at COMIC-CON San Diego 2011. Look for people around the convention in our signature Annie Tshirts who will have a fresh copy for you FOR FREE. (while supplies last)

These will be available exclusively through our webpage as well.

It's an exciting time for us, and we cannot tell you enough how grateful we are to be able to do what we love,
and have fun creating new things - ALL of which is made possible by you, and your friends.

So please, continue to spread the word and show us your Love, and we'll continue to do the same.

#ItsHere: @KaleyCuoco and @AnnieAuto sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow!

AHHH!! BAHHH!! and YAHHHH!!!!

It's freaking FINALLY here!! The single that @kaleycuoco and @annieauto's @iamfrench recorded after her horseback riding accident, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Humane Society. READ READ READ!!

Per the Humane Society: Kaley Cuoco, star of the hit TV show "The Big Bang Theory" and a life-long animal lover, was inspired by an painful accident to make beautiful music for homeless animals.

Kaley is a regular at The HSUS’s annual celebration of the media, The Genesis Awards. A champion for shelter and rescue dogs, Kaley is always willing to use her celebrity to bring attention to the cause. In September, she—along with Wendie Malick ("Hot in Cleveland") and Jorja Fox ("CSI: Crime Scene Investigation")—was honored for being one of The HSUS’s most supportive celebrity advocates.

The accident

Unfortunately, shortly after that recognition Kaley suffered a freak accident while riding her horse, Santos, leaving her with an open compound leg fracture. (Not surprisingly, her first reaction was concern that her screams had scared Santos.)

During her long hospital stay, Kaley's boyfriend, Christopher French of the group Annie Automatic, stayed by her side and played his guitar for her. Seeking some distraction from the pain, she asked him to play something she could sing to. He strummed a playful version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

The inspiration

Soon they were laughing, and as they played various versions and traded choruses, it seemed as if the music was helping her overcome her discomfort. And so, although this is her only foray into singing in public, Kaley and Christopher decided to record the song in support of the The HSUS and our work for animals.

The video

After Kaley was released from the hospital, they recorded their version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"in their living room instead of a studio, so Kaley wouldn't need to leave the house. And—with a little help from Kaley’s sister, Bri, who filmed the session, and Christopher’s photographer Noa Shaw—they created the video version!

“Kaley and I are happy to be able to help draw attention to the important issue of animal adoption and rescue and raise a little money, 99¢ at a time,” says Christopher.

Download the video

You can purchase the digital single, and support The HSUS's work for homeless dogs, at any of your favorite online music stores, including iTunes and AmazonMP3. Please help make this holiday season a special one by purchasing this song and helping The HSUS fight for animals everywhere!

So much awesomeness ... I kinda don't know where to begin.
