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?
