So, the first release is well on it's way, with all four bands now recorded!
Artwork is coming along nicely, and the date's set for final mastering of the tracks for vinyl. This all makes me very happy.
If it keeps going as smoothly as it is at the moment, expect it to be excusively available on the Lavotchkin/HUSH mini-tour in December, whoop whoop! There'll be a very limited run of colour, hand screen printed covers available on these dates too.
Last weekend was a good one, with The Ghost Of A Thousand, Lavotchkin, HUSH & Horrors That You've Seen tearing Bannerman's the kind of hole it hasn't seen in a LONG time. Everyone, bands and fans, had a great night, followed by much debouchery at the Banshee Labyrinth afterwards.
There's plenty of stuff keeping me busy at the moment; The December split, getting involved in the new Pariso 7inch, which will be out in the spring through myself & Tangled Talk Records, and i'm well on my way to booking some really great shows in the new year, including a bunch of Scottish dates in January for the always awesome Axis Of, and Invisible Noise Brighton kids Brides, who've got some great new tunes on the way, along with some nice a bunch of shows coming together for February.
And of course there's the HTYS long player due in March, along with a good 10-14 date tour to spread the word that is....... Sorry, the title'sbeing kept a secret for now.
(I'm also getting up to date with the ol' reviews, so there'll be two up by friday, huzzah!)
Right, onto the shit news: Stirling, Scotlands Notebooks suffered that most shit of things that can happen to a band.. They had cash, merch and passports stolen while playing a show. This really is a shit thing to happen at any time, and it only ever seems to happen to bands who really need the merch and the cash it provides. Notebooks were going to be recording for their first ep in December, and this was where the cash was going to go. They're getting so good so quickly, and to suffer a setback like this is fucking heartbreaking.
Therefore, seeing as they're good friends of myself and the label, this is what's happening; from now until they get into the studio, 50% of all money from Dead Dead Dead merch sales will be going to the band, in the hope that we can help them get into the studio and get recorded before they lose their momentum, and before the opportunity passes to get some of this anger on record.
So, pick up one of the (Awesome) T-shirts from the DDDM Big Cartel, and not only get yourself in a cool as fuck tee, but you can be happy to know you're doing something good for a great young band that just got fucked over.
Check them out on facebook, or at www.myspace.com/notebooksband, and keep yourself updated on what's happening in their world.
