CONTRAPHONIC

More love from BoingBoing.net for Pronto!

Xeni Jardin of BoingBoing.net lets us in on her recent visit to Amoeba Records in Los Angeles, CA. Some clarification is needed however: the Pronto record she’s describing is “The Cheetah,” the "glitchy, computery one" available in digital glory now, while the record she’s holding is “All Is Golden,” the acclaimed 70's style-release available both digitally and in CD form.

Get 'em both in your bag now!

Pronto's been BoingBoinged!

The good tidings of the Holiday Season seem to get merrier each passing day here at Contra HQ. As we continue to celebrate the season with our Holiday Sale, we were ecstatic to learn that our good friends Pronto have been BoingBoinged! Slow jam track "rRan," the latest single off this fall's 'The Cheetah' release, is now traipsing through the Winter Wonderland of the blogosphere, thanks to the high-tech wizardry that is the Michael Lascarides-created video. Check it out now so you won't be left out of the convo around the yule log, and fill up your digital stocking by grabbing a copy of the Deluxe Video Version of 'The Cheetah,' as well as other ContraGoodies, over at the ContraStore today.

Pronto Comes Home

After their initial string of successful shows in support of 'All is Golden', the golden crew that is Pronto has returned home till May, when the next round of shows will begin. From playing a sold-out show at the Mercury Lounge to two supporting slots for Jeff Tweedy, and capping it off with a raucous set on a rather frigid and blustery Chicago eve, Pronto earned many stripes on their freshman tour.

A number of loving folks have taken note, with the group gracing the cover of the Chicago Sun-Times weekend insert, as well as being hyped in the some of the outlets below. Catch up and get your fix below. Then head on over to the ContraStore and grab a copy of 'All is Golden' today!
