Mayday, mayday! /// Sunday, 1 /// dispatch from Chris!
Dudes! Long time, no update. Sorry. New distro item: DIBS' "More Unsent Letters" on Luv-A-Lot Records. Totally rad. Check the CAPITALISM seciton. Other updates: New shows in the shows section, including a RiYL & Friends Night at Sidewalk Cafe on May 21st w/ The Wowz, Dream Bitches, Secret Salamander, Jack Lewis, Chris Maher and hopefully Rebecca Schiffman. More news on that soon. The "official" release date of The Fugue's Mysterious Animals EP may be pushed back a bit, but we'll have copies for you here beforehand with a special pre-release companion tape from Death Tapes/Sex Threats. The Fugue leave for their tour in just about a month, but they have at least three shows in Brooklyn in May.
Chris Maher will be out on the West Coast for all of July, and will likely play some shows in the first half of the month before embarking on a two-week West Coast tour with Jeffrey and Jack Lewis City and Eastern Songs and two acts from Baskerville Hill, Black Bear and Throw Me The Statue. Hopefully some recording will take place with Criminal Bones before he leaves.
The artwork for the long-delayed Pathways record, "Boat of Confidence", and for Secret Salamander's "Beebles" are both coming along. More news on those (and sneak peaks) soon...
