Andy Frasco & The U.N. Share Psychedelic Birthday Anthem 'Birthday Song'

Andy Frasco & The U.N. have released “Birthday Song,” a psychedelic birthday anthem that sees Frasco, along with a circus of animals including a monkey drinking whiskey, enjoying a birthday celebration.

“Birthday Song” is available now at all DSPs and streaming services and comes from the new album, L’Optimist, arriving via Fun Machine Records/Soundly Music on Friday, August 11. Pre-orders are available now.

"We were bored of all the birthday songs that we’ve been singing our whole lives so we thought, why not revamp a classic tradition A.F.U.N. style," says Frasco.  'Birthday Song' is a psychedelic rock 'n roll anthem for anyone celebrating a birthday.”

Frasco’s sixth released studio album and most hopeful and enthusiastic collection thus far, L’Optimist also includes the previously released songs, “You Do You” and “Iowa Moon.”

A much-beloved live outfit renowned for unbridled improvisation, audience interaction, surprising covers, special guests, and animated antics unlike any other, Andy Frasco & The U.N. will celebrate L’Optimist with a stacked live schedule including a just-announced headline run getting underway September 28 at East Lansing, MI’s Hall 224 and then continuing through mid-December.

In the meantime, Frasco will spend the summer traveling America on a wide-ranging itinerary that features headline dates, top-billed festival appearances, and an eagerly awaited double bill supporting Slightly Stoopid set for August 13 at Morrison, CO’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Additional dates will be announced. For complete details and ticket information, please visit www.andyfrasco.com/tour.
