Compulation III

Although not technically a release by us, the nice people over at Pox World Empire finally put out Compulation III, which includes our track "Talk Talk Talk". There's a nice review of the compilation over here: blogs.dailytarheel.com/index.php?s=compulation I had no idea that "Talk Talk Talk" was so deep. Crazy college kids. Anyway, there looks to be quite a few standouts on the track listing, including one by friends and former label mates Tennis and the Mennonites. Should be worth whatever they're charging. I mean, we're on it, right?

Knights in Shining Armor

I've spent the last two days mixing and mastering two songs for our new record (to be released in 2072). The tracks, "Please Try Again" and "Knights in Shining Armor" (formerly "The Orchards") are about as far away from each other as you can get in terms of style, but I think that they will both fit nicely together on the record.

Since we're still a bit away from releasing this thing, why don't you check out some other locals who are putting out some great music:



First, Aminal (http://www.myspace.com/theaminalmusic), Patrick O'Neill's other band is having their CD release party TONIGHT at the Local 506 in Chapel Hill, NC. Patrick is OUR guitarist/keyboardist/lover/hater/friendly bartender/moustache and his new band is obviously the bee's knees. So come on out and show him and the band some love and maybe even buy a CD or two. I'll be there! So should you. After that, you can go here: www.vrprsnts.blogspot.com and listen to the other EP that they are releasing online only. Cool beans, eh?

Second, Minor Stars (http://www.myspace.com/deathofthesun), the newest incarnation of Death of the Sun (an Eric Wallen spearheaded group) is playing at the Pinhook in Durham, NC on Saturday, May 9th. Death of the Sun played with us in Austin, TX a couple of years ago at the Breakfast Mascot Records Showcase at SXSW. They were great and I expect that Minor Stars will be the same.
