It’s exactly 2 months since and released their latest album ‘Super What?’. Naturally, since the promo that we animated for them was our first official job as Friend Party, we got a bit excited and ordered a copy for a friend, who was equally excited and forgot to tell us he’d already ordered his own copy! So… we want to give this copy a good home where it’ll get the playtime it deserves!

Happy Pride Month! Lots of love to our friends in the community, but Pride shouldn't just be for June, it's for all year round. At the end of the day we're all just human beings, love is love and everyone has a right to feel it without persecution. If you want to learn more about why pride is important and the historic struggle against hate and bigotry, check out Stonewall Uprising and Paris is Burning. Two fantastic documentaries. Everybody love everybody!
