Early show November 10th at Rockwood Music Hall

Tuesday, November 10th get ready to enjoy that after-work cold one at Rockwood Music Hall with Argyle Johansen (and his fancy band). The set begins at 6. Rockwood is located at 196 Allen St. (between Houston and Stanton), NYC.

New Music Player!!! Listen to the entire album here for free!

Tired of the crappy (circa 1997) mp3 player we had on this page that was continuously on auto-play (and would not shuffle the songs, nor change the parameters, show artwork etc...despite my best efforts to learn rudimentary xml code)? So is Argyle Johansen. But, thanks to the lovely marketing department at our digital retailer Tunecore, we now have a delightful media player to the right of this page allowing the streaming of the entire album for free! Have a listen, most of these tracks have never been on Myspace or Facebook and have until now only been available as snippets on iTunes or by hearing them live at a show (or buying the album). There's a convenient links to iTunes and also one to share this player as a widget with whomever you like. Enjoy!

iTunes link and of things to come

(see it there -->) snuck it in to the right side of your screen with the other links. haven't been to a show yet and picked up a copy of the album? live in Kalamazoo (a live market we at Argyle Johansen have yet to infiltrate) and want to get your ears wrapped around the album? the little blue
[iTunes] link can make all the pain and longing go away. what's that you say..?..digital media not for you. taking the Firebird (or Trans Am maybe?) out for a spin and looking for a compact disciola to pop in the Sony Car Diskman (the one with the cassette adapter that fits into the tape deck). well you're wait will soon be over, as hard copies of Argyle Johansen's LP are soon to be available via mail order from amazon.com

until then,
let's just concentrate on making it through this seltzer shortage. be well.

Downstairs at Club Europa (Greenpoint Discoteque!) Tuesday 9/22

Dust off your rhinestone studded platform shoes (the ones with the goldfish in the heel) because Argyle Johansen (and his fancy band) will be playing this Tuesday night downstairs at Club Europa in lovely Greenpoint, Brooklyn, USA. The doors open at 8pm and the show starts at 9 two very fine musical outfits Will Levith and Leland Sundries. Argyle plays at 10:30pm. There is no cover to boot!

Argyle on iTunes!

Links coming soon (or just search in the iTunes Store). Also available on Amazon.com (mp3 only for now, but cds will be available soon) Otherwise, if you live in NYC and/or surrounding villages, come out to a show and just sweet-talk the band (we'll give you a copy for free if you make us blush). More news to come.

Oh yes!..and, THANK YOU!!!!!! to everyone (old friends and new ones) who came out for the cd release show at Pete's. Thanks for making it a great night (-john)

CD Release Show at Pete's Candy Store (Thursday, Sept. 3 at 9:30PM)

Well, after all these years of procrastination punctuated by brief flares of intense hard work, solo shows, duo shows, band members that went nowhere and hundreds (possibly thousands) of hand-labeled burnt cds, Argyle Johansen's debut Album is finally being officially released on Thursday, September 3rd at 9:30 PM in the lovely and intimate back room of Pete's Candy Store (709 Lorimer St. Brooklyn, NY). Free copies of the album (the artwork, designed by Michael P. of the wunder-rock-group Schocholautte, is the main image at the top of this page) will be given out at the show, which as always at Pete's will have no cover! Joining the effort on stage as always will be Sam Merrick (percussion) and David Kross (bass) with the dulcet tones of multi-instrumentalist Taylor Galassi (cello, accordion and glockenspiel). It'll be a slightly longer than usual set for us, and be sure to keep your ears peeled because you might here some new as-of-yet unrecorded (and somewhat unfinished:) songs! See you there.

Fontana's

Kind thanks to everyone who came out to Fontana's (and who dealt with the venue change). You were a lovely and sweet-smelling audience, and we hope to see you again real soon!
-Love, Argyle
