Baby, where did our month go? /// October 12, 2004 11:53 PM /// dispatch from Chris!
How did a month go by with no updates? Crazy. So what's been up? First, we've got a friend helping out with the label. Please welcome Karina Czoka to the fold! She'll be helping with the day-to-day as well as heading up the press and promotions side of things for the next few months. We're glad to have her involved!! Rock it, K-chan.
Glitter Pals recently finished recording their first EP, Unleash the Compassion, with producer Martin Bisi. Its just under ten minutes of sonic brilliance. Cuz RiYL wouldn't be able to put the record out until the Spring, Glitter Pals Mookie and Jake have decided to start their own imprint to release the project. SWEET!! The more, the merrier! As an added bonus, we get to include the exclusive, Bisi-recorded song, "Aluminum Bat Bomb", on the upcoming RiYL Compilation. Killaaa.
The Wowz continue to play more shows than we can count. Check the shows section for new Wowz dates (including one at Sin-e) and some other upcoming RiYL-related dates. The response to Long Grain Rights has been extremely positive. Find out why: CAPITALISM.
Daggerhearts' Tori recently relocated from Philly to Baltimore, MD. She and Dirck are working on new Daggerhearts material. Cool! Likewise, the Pathways have regrouped as a five(?)-piece, with two new members. Expect the debut performance of the new lineup in November (coinciding with the release of the long-delayed "Productivity" 7")! Oh, and the preliminary artwork for the Boat of Confidence LP looks spectacular! We can't wait to see all of it.
The Fugue's Mysterious Animals is at West West Side being mastered by Alan Douches. We can't wait to hear the results!!! The "Four Corner Races" 7" is at the pressing plant and should be available here soon.
Oh, and Chris Maher's website has finally been revamped. Check out the new, minimalist design here: www.chrismaher .net.
More news soon?
