Here are a few recent events and features of note from our artists:
Whatever Blog - Raleigh, NC Post-punk weirdos Whatever Brains recently started a Tumblr with some new material, some cool free downloads (including an out-of-print cassette, CD-r, and a live set), and some really great photos…I’ll let you check those out for yourself. The Brains recently released a split Cassette on DiggUp Tapes with Birds of Avalon, which you can purchase alone for $2, or with it’s accompanying box set for $12. All singles from DiggUp are available for free stream at their BandCamp page. Head on over to DiggUp’s official site for more information.
In tape related news, Check out NPR’s wonderful music blog The Record and its take on Cassette culture posted yesterday. This post, and really everything else from this column is quite informative and interesting. props NPR!
Live - Sam Jones, Singer and Guitarist from The Young Sinclairs will be playing a very special solo set with Eternal Summers, a fellow Magic Twig Community band that shares two overlapping members from the Sinclairs, Tonight (02/25/2011) at the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar in Charlottesville, VA. Make sure you show up on time, Charlottesville; this is an early show, beginning at 8pm, and ending in time for the Corsair EP release at Dust later on in the evening.
Spring Mix Tape - Speaking of new releases, both Borrowed Beams of Light and Invisible Hand were featured on a mix tape by the up and coming “Authentic Cassette Label” Crash Symbols (A collaborative effort from Get Off The Coast and Royal Rhino). The comp, entitled “Dope Valley F-ck,” is available for free stream and/or download at the label’s bandcamp page. The Beams song is the first track available from the Beams’ new LP, which is just about half way to its goal on Kickstarter. Go donate now for a pre-order CD or LP.
My Mind - In case you missed it a couple weekends back, My Mind’s second “official” release, a 45 speed 12” rock opera on Harvest Recordings came and went from our store in a matter of hours! Harvest still has a few left, and I stress a few. This clear vinyl, hand screened, limited to 100 12” won’t last too much longer, so pick one up online or in their actual store at their Grand Re-Opening March 4th in Asheville, NC (Congrats guys!).
Have a good weekend, everyone!
