Rock Hop & Roll Tour - Fall '08 Attaboy is back on the Rock Hop & Roll Tour and will be coming to a city near you this fall! As we hit the road this September and October, we will be joined by acoustic/hip hopper, Heath McNease, and indie-rock newcomers, The Fabulous. The full tour schedule will be sent out very soon, but in the meantime you can check our website or MySpace page for new shows as they are added. New Sponsors If you have visited our website recently or have seen our trailer at a show, you may have noticed a bit of a new look for Attaboy. That is because we have recently partnered with two great sponsors - Huntington University and Compassion International. We are very excited to be teaming up with an incredible Christian college that challenges students to impact their world for Christ, and an outstanding ministry committed to helping impoverished children around the world. If you have a moment, check out both of these groups online, or feel free to ask us for more information at an upcoming show! We had an incredible summer playing at camps and conferences in Colorado, North Carolina, New Hampshire, and the Midwest! We're already looking forward to seeing all of our new friends from these weeks out on the road. Also, thanks so much for your emails, guestbook posts, MySpace messages and comments! We take the time to read each one, and we appreciate your encouragement. Your prayers are especially felt as we are on the verge of some very big developments. We'll let you know more as soon as we can! Blessings, Attaboy May 3, 2008 Now on iTunes - California EP! If you are a regular iTunes user, be sure to check out Attaboy's brand new "California EP"!
