Harry And The Potters

Via Mimi Smartypants, news of the next big band: Harry And The Potters.

The idea is that the Harry Potter from Year 7 and the Harry Potter from Year 4 started a rock band. And now, no one can stop the wizard rock.

They've just released their third album, Harry And The Potters And The Power Of Love, not counting an EP and a Christmas collaboration album. This newest includes these tracks:

1. New Wizard Anthem
2. Song for the Death Eaters
3. Flesh, Blood, and Bone
4. Save Ginny Weasley From Dean Thomas
5. Felix Felicis
6. Slug Club
7. Smoochy Smoochy Pukey Pukey
8. This Book is so Awesome
9. (not gonna put on) the Monkey Suit
10. We Save Ron's Life, Part 8
11. Hermione's Birds and Boys
12. In Which Draco Malfoy Cries Like a Baby
13. Dumbledore
14. Phoenix Song

You can listen to some of their songs on their MySpace page. (Uck, I can't believe I'm linking to a MySpace page. It's worth it though, just this once.) "Save Ginny Weasly" is my personal favorite. Hey wait, they have another MySpace page, with more songs. Working around a MySpace limit on how many songs they can post, I guess. (Yes, I realize I didn't even make it out of this paragraph without breaking my word about linking to MySpace "just this once". It's still worth it.) "Wizard Chess" is my favorite off that page, by the way.

They're on nationwide tour right now - coming to a library near you with their Summer Reading and Rocking Tour 2006:

It's going to be an amazing summer! Joe and I are putting together a summer reading list too! 6 books! 6 weeks! If you come to a show with a book report on one of our reading list books, we'll give you a free toothbrush. What a deal right?

They'll be in Austin on Aug. 10., with Draco And The Malfoys (those jerks). See you there!
