Merchandise (proper noun, i.e., the band) have got some merchandise (noun, i.e., wares to be purchased, viz., their new full-length Totale Night) that they want to merchandise (verb, i.e., promote the sale of) in your general direction. More succinctly: Merchandise merchandise merchandise.
In order to facilitate the merchandization of their merchandise, the band has released a teaser bit of digital merchandise in the form of a stream of the song “Who Are You?” which is, quite disappointingly to dads everywhere, not a cover of the classic Who song. Nevertheless, you can listen to it here:
The specific Merchandise merchandise that Merchandise would like you to consider purchasing is their new full-length, Totale Night, which is out April 2 on Night-People Records. Maybe the following will help convince you: the album was mastered by Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3.
Merchandise are also touring like madmen. At the following shows you’ll be sure to find them at the Merch-table, which is what they call the stage.
