Currently, the band finished recording the new album,"Everybody Wins!" which drops June 12, 2012 followed by a CD release show taking place at the legendary Metro club, just down the street from Wrigley Field, in Chicago on June 16, 2012. Until then you can find the band tentatively working on the prizes given out to their 127 backers that donated money to the Kickstarter campaign to make "Everybody Wins" a reality. * (Kickstarter Campaign ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cobalt & the Hired Guns」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
