Back in the day, Wendy & Lisa made incredible music with Prince. Just take a listen to Purple Rain, Parade, Around the World in a Day or Sign of the Times and you’ll be instantly reminded. Since then, they’ve been working together on various projects including the 2008 release, White Flags of Winter Chimneys which will be available for sale at AMOEBA HOLLYWOOD.

Also available exclusively for Record Store Day - a limited edition promotional CD of the release with gorgeous cover graphics by comics legend, Jaime Hernandez.
