Tracklist:
01 Grand Parade In addition, The Reindeer Section will be playing the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan on August 18th (Tokyo) and 19th (Osaka), along with Morrissey, the Hives, Suede, and others. No word yet on how many of the 'Section members will be travelling to the Far East for those shows, but it may be enough to warrant a charter plane!
