Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. Not a statement of adoration, but the name of a Springfield, MO band.
SSLYBY, for short, is named after the former Russian president. The trio, composed of Will Knauer, Phillip Dickey, and Jonathan James, formed after meeting at a Super Bowl party in 1999. Since then, the Missouri band has toured in many countries, including Russia and Japan. The band has released numerous LPs and full-length albums that are praised for their charming and likable indie-pop sound.
Adding to their collection of feel-good albums, SSLYBY recently released their album Fly by Wire through Polyvinyl Records. The album features ten new tracks, written and recorded in the attic where the band made their debut album, Broom. Fly by Wire has been pressed on special limited-edition Coke-bottle clear vinyl, and we’ve got one to give away!
In support of Fly by Wire, SSLYBY is currently on tour, and though the tour is nearing its end, West Coast music enthusiasts can still catch the indie-pop band on the last remaining dates listed below.
For your chance to win a special limited-edition, Coke-bottle clear vinyl of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin’s album Fly by Wire, drop a comment below naming your favorite pop (or soda as it’s known as in other regions) drink. Mine would have to be the Vanilla Coca-Cola.
A winner with a North American mailing address will be chosen a week from today, November 26!
