I don't know why I'm bothering to respond, but anyway - I quite like the pick and the colour scheme, but feel the text is off - it doesn't in any way say 'acoustic' to me. I'd try it with a similar layout, but a slightly 'traditional' (maybe Goudy-esque?) serif, or something, perhaps even going so far as very subtly texturising the outlines. If you do it smartly enough, heck you might even be able to get away with keeping those back slashes you're so fond of. Think 'modern' layout with an old style feel.
Whatever - draw a box around whatever text you do employ and make sure everything fills into it to line off properly - your stuff never seems finished properly.

Maybe have a look at '60s ear Columbia album covers. There could be something there for you.

lots and lots of dead spage on the page.. the colour isnt even nice enough to handle its own for that much space..
also that pic looks a bit plonked there..
why dont you find an awesome pic or design one yourself.. and plop it bang in the middle of the empty space on top of the text?
also rounded text? why? hardly 'raw','live' and personal.
the connotationsit gives me are more like a web2.0 party. - but the beige makes me think of my gran.liven it up a bit.

There is waaaay too much going on.
Governors of California Amnesia & ?
The tag line at the bottom is terrible, light blue text on white? Illegible.
The type hierarchy is non existence.
I was wondering what people were talking about the potatoes. It was hidden. I shouldn't have to try hard to get the information I need.

I didn't really read the comments but it instantly says rave flyer. Too computer influenced, not enough "acoustic". Think classic, emotion, spontaneity, and more importantly, human. Get rid of the backslashes for sure it screams computers!
