One Stop Super Vacations Shop!

Looking for The Super Vacations on vinyl? Then you have come to the right place! We recently picked up two new splits, bringing our total available 7”s by the band up to four.  This includes our most recent release, The Mystic Fortress Sessions Vol. 1 (F/NF 014), a split between them and the Eternal Summers. We also still have copies of their LP entitled Thicker Milk and copies of the Rich Ivy curated cassette entitled Dick’s Picks 4006, which features a song by them. Information about the new split 7”s are listed below:

11-11-11 marks Great Dads first trip to Harrisonburg!

Funny / Not Funny Records is proud announce a little surprise. Today, on 11-11-11, Great Dads will be visiting our base of operations for the very first time!  If you are unfamiliar with Great Dads, they were featured on our F/NF Summer 2011 Mixtape that is available on our site for free and we first blogged about them back in June.  If you are looking for more tunes by them check their bandcamp. The Charlottesville based band is yet another project to spawn from the musical mind of Invisible Hand frontman Adam Smith.  We highly encourage to come out to the Blue Nile tonight if you live in the area and to scope their tunes online if you are not.  Also, make sure to get to the show early tonight, before 9pm, as tickets are selling out fast for this special occasion.  Oh and did we mention Ted Leo and the Pharmacists are also playing?

Congratulations to Nicklaus Combs!

Here is just a sample of the nice things some have said about this release:

…a brand new treat by the wonderful Roanoke, Virginia psych pop group Eternal Summers, taken from their forthcoming split 7 inch Mystic Fortress Sessions Vol. 1 together with fellow Virginian garage outfit The Super Vacations, to be released August 2 via Funny / Not Funny Recordings. [The track] On My Honor expectedly captures simple and good vibrations for tonight’s lush barbecue, perfectly sundrenched melodies for sing-alongs and happy endings.
