The second single "Winnipeg Beach" is released today! The CD single and digital download include two new b-sides, one of which, "Bad Friends," was a reject from the album which Devin tweaked and remixed for inclusion on the single. The other new song, "Do You Remember," was written and recorded in a single Memorial Day based on an idea Devin had years ago. It also includes the video, directed by Dylan Tucker with Marc Loren, Myles Matisse and Robert Garcia filmed at Will Rogers Beach in Santa Monica, CA.

Bad Friends
You got some bad influences in your life
Just because you call them friends doesn't make it alright
The only interests they have are their own
Under the bus is where you're gonna get thrown
Yeah you been let down,
dicked around, unwound
You gotta wake up,
punch a clock, tick tock
But your bad friends say lets go out tonight
We'll drink more than we can afford and then we'll get in a fight
They'll leave you stranded, looking for another ride
and the last time you said it was the last time you'd let it slide
You felt the sting of promises made and then quashed
that familiar feeling of being lost
a little integrity is too much to as for
try to be cautious and they call you a bore
Yeah you're frustrated
it's complicated, overrated
Manipulated,
your breath is bated, desecrated
But your bad friends say lets go out tonight
We'll drink more than we can afford and then we'll get in a fight
They'll set you up and leave for you to take the fall
but all your good friends are good for no fun at all
goodbye, my friend
my independence I must contend
farewell, adios
you are the one I'll miss the most
na na na na na na, na na na na na
na na na na, na na na na

OutRadio June Features Devin Tait
Devin is honored to be included in OutRadio's June program. The tracks Winnipeg Beach and Strange Season are included as well as the following dialogue:
"For about ten years Devin Tait was a member of the sort of new wave, electronic rock band that called themselves Shitting Glitter. They released three full-length CDs and about a dozen EPs. Naturally with a name like Shitting Glitter, they did not garner much if any airplay on broadcast radio, not that they cared about that. Devin has left that band and now has his own, just called the Devin Tait Band, and the new CD is called "It's Never the Way You Imagine It." Well, I can imagine airplay for these two tracks from it, Strange Season and Winnipeg Beach."
