CD Release Party Highlights Several Bands

Possibly the biggest show to come to the Livingston County area since Bled Fest, Fusion Shows is proud to be presenting the album release party for Howell's Good Weather For Airstrikes at the Hartland Performing Arts Center on Friday, Oct. 14.  

This as yet unsigned post-rock/indie group appeals to fans of Moving Mountains, Explosions in the Sky and Death Cab For Cutie. To hear them, go to http://gwfaband.bandcamp.com/.

Good Weather For Airstrikes will be releasing its new full-length record, To Have Our Hearts Emptied, To Be Left As We Came at the show.

GWFA has grown a nice fanbase in the area with their passionate live performances and diverse songwriting.

What started as an acoustic side project of Howell native James Radick turned into a full 4 piece band, with Joe Hillier on guitar, Josh Fenn on bass, and Bill Grant on drums.  
The band has performed for two straight years at Bled Fest, and has performed with bands such as As Tall As Lions, Lydia, The Dear Hunter, and La Dispute.  Additionally, they have sold out the Opera House in Howell as part of 3 shows in the past.
