TKO Records is releasing a new 12" 3 song single from The Distraction titled More Trouble At the V . The release will be on four colors of vinyl, with the artwork in 3D (3D glasses included), in the label's own words "thus setting a new standard for ridiculous, over-the-top vinyl packaging."

The band now features frontman Hot Rod Todd (ex-Le Shok & Neon King Kong) and keyboardist Daryl Licht (ex-Le Shok). They have scheduled a number of shows in the coming months, including an in-store record release show at Vinyl Solution in Huntington Beach "sometime around the 17th of March." Check their website for the details on that event soon.
