Today, October 4th, has officially been declared Mission of Burma Day by the City Council of Boston. This comes just prior to tomorrow's release of 'The Sound, The Speed, The Light' , Mission of Burma's 5th studio album. Also being released is an awesome new 7" containing tracks not on the album, specifically, the single, Innermost, with Here It Comes as the B-side.
A more tangible way to celebrate Mission of Burma today would be to go see their free show in the MIT courtyard which has just started. Contest Winner Eula opens up the show at 2:30, then Big Bear plays, and finally Mission of Burma will go on at approximately 5:00.
And things to do after...
