Promotion
Lead single "Dude, Where's My Skin?" debuted on the website PureVolume on August 8th of 2007. "The Plastic Surgery Hall of Fame" was chosen as the second single, and received a music video helmed by Brian and Brad Palmer. The video features kids in a cult, and was followed by a music video for "Dude, Where's My Skin?" The band embarked on a nationwide tour, opening for the Seattle-based band Aiden in support for the album. Donnelly expressed that performing was an important aspect to her music, stating that "the more visceral a response the audience can have, the better. I don’t ever want to hide behind pyrotechnics, or too much show. I think that we are a really solid live band and really solid performers, and our music is the most important element of the equation. If your music isn’t there, it’s not going to matter; it’s just going to be a circus.” The album was released onto iTunes on September 17th.

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
