We never could have imagined imagined that Tampa post-punk dudes Merchandise would ever do morning television, but low and behold here they are on WFTS's Morning Blend program. Watch the footage and interview here.
Seriously, who knew those guys even got up this early?
The appearance comes in advance of the band's two Bay area LP release shows and on the heels of CL's interview with guitarist David Vassalotti. Merchandise's fifth release, and second for UK imprint 4AD, officially arrives in stores Friday, but Microgroove and Mojo Books & Music are selling it now.
Watch the clip here. See more about tonight's show at Mojo Books & Records and Friday night's get down at Crowbar via the links above. Check out this amazing screen grab, too.
