Ben Kweller's 'Sha Sha' to get deluxe 20th anniversary reissue in March

It's been 20 years since Ben Kweller's Sha Sha took the indie world by storm. On March 10, the "Sundress" singer is releasing an anniversary edition entitled, Sha Sha Deluxe. Now fans can immerse themselves in remastered nostalgia plus 22 demos, B-sides, live recordings, and other rarities never before released to the public.

One of those unearthed rarities is "I Have the Power," streaming now at all DSPs. This slacker-core song was recorded by Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Lemonheads) back in 2001 when Kweller was coming up in NYC with The Strokes and Moldy Peaches. Sha Sha Deluxe will be available on Triple-LP, Triple-CD, and USB Toothbrush (Yes, a red toothbrush that you plug into your computer).
