We are happy to announce the release of 10 Ft. Ganja Plant’s new album, 10 Deadly Shots Vol 1… available today exclusively through their new website, 10ftganjaplant.com!

10 Deadly shots cut from Vinyl!

Its a cold weekend in February and the Cessna’s land. The vibes brew as the room fills, while the bass thumps a beat and the snare drum rings a tune. The chords echo through the room as the smell of analog tape enters the air… A familiar start to a 10 ft Ganja Plant recording session.

Digital album only $6.99 until 4/27/2010 (reg. $8.99)
Purchase it  here or stream it here

Directed by Univox’s own Josh Jones:

“The concept for the Pi video came to me the same way my songs normally do: IN A VISION FROM GOD! So I wrote down the vision as a video treatment, and then, after reading it, God sent me an estimate for how much it should cost: $110.”

The video is dedicated to the late music British journalist Steven Wells, who while writing for the Philadelphia Weekly challenged the band to make a video.

>> Dig the music? You can download the track “Pi” for free here.

Univox are also going to be on the radio this afternoon doing a live set & interview on WZMB 91.3FM in Greenville, NC. Tune in at 4pm!
