Meanwhile, the 4th has come and past but in my neighborhood people are still blowing stuff up all night long. I'm writing this the night before sending it out and sorta in dread of the Michael Jackson memorial going down here tomorrow. I'll just make sure not to leave the house.

2. Anti-Magic update
-------------------------
While the good news is that we'll have copies of Foot Village's "Anti Magic" on cd for these UTR shows, unfortunatly the vinyl version has been delayed due to the pressing plant running way behind. This means that the release party at Origami is being postponed. Both The Urxed and Foot Village will perform at the postponed event. We should have the new date in next weeks newsletter. Sorry about this folks!
Also, just got an email from Cristopher Cichocki that his music video for the actual song "Anti-Magic" is 99% done. Time allowing, we will debut it at the Upset The Rhythm showcase in LA!

4. New in the distro
----------------------------
Anni Rossi & Whitman collab 10"
This record is a collaboration between Anni Rossi (on 4AD) and Whitman that was recorded back in 2004 in small rooms in both Riverside and Valencia, California on a cassette four-track and until now has only been released as a very limited cd-r. This is a collection of seven songs that were written together by both artists; both lyrically and musically. However, it may not be what you’d expect to come from these two artists, as this record stands on it’s own and sounds very different from the previous work of either artist. The songs range anywhere from mellow ballads lead by guitar, viola and even piano, to upbeat chants driven by junkyard percussion.They come housed in white record sleeves with beautiful artwork by Kristina Collantes hand screened in burgundy ink.
http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/anni-rossi-whitman-collab-10-w-download-card

Black Pus
zero: the ultimate beatoff cd
After a series of CDrs and limited vinyl releases, Black Pus (Brian C of Lightning Bolt's solo insanity) releases its first pro pressed cd. While recent Black Pus releases showed the act moving into more and more song/pop/grunge territory, this disc is a return to the early compositional mood. Relentless and incredibly layered (you want to hear lots of drums? you got it.) and packaged in a ton of awesome handscreened art. A must.
http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/black-pus-zero-ultimate-beatoff-cd

tik///tik / naomi split 7"
Long long overdue debut vinyl for THE tik///tik. Deathbomb and tik///tik have a long history that hopefully you have followed, but either way, now is the time to grab a part of history. Not noise. Not industrial. Not noiserock. Not glitchcore. Slightly pop vocal dreamboat. This will be gone instantly.
http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/naomi-tik-tik-split-7

I posted a different mp3 link from them a few weeks back. This one rules just as hard. Check it out and get hyped for their tour! http://rosequartz.blogspot.com/2009/07/moon-bungalow.html

Hello Deathbomb Friends!

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER SENT TO YOUR EMAIL, PLEASE SIGN UP AT http://deathbombarc.com

I'm slowly writing this newsletter, distracted by massive nerd-whispers in my house. That said, on the drive home yesterday I was so excited about the news in this weeks issue that I kept imagining writing it while driving. Maybe traffic is making me my imagination dull!

This week:

1. Upset The Rhythm is about to invade America!
2. Anti-Magic Release Party on July 10th!
3. Webness for all
4. Last week to send in your Chicken & Cheese cover
5. Upcoming LA shows


1. Upset The Rhythm is about to invade America!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you can get your butt to NYC, LA, or San Fran, or maybe all of them, I highly recommend you mark your calendars right now! Do not forget about this incredible and monumental series of fests that are about to happen in July. The UK label Upset The Rhythm is coming to the states and doing 3 festivals. Despite being in the UK, this label has been the biggest supporter of what the press likes to call "The Smell Bands" and lots of other amazing Cali-DIY acts. The lineups are impressive to say the least.

There will also be other satelite events surrounding these shows, info to come on most, but one that is near and dear is:


2. Anti-Magic Release Party on July 10th!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
While those of you in the UK/EU will be able to get Foot Village's new album on either vinyl or cd (they both have alternate tracks, so why not get both!) on July 6th, those in the US will have to wait till July 21st... that is, unless you can make it to LA on July 10th. That is because on July 10th Origami Vinyl will have a special release party just for the vinyl version of Anti-Magic. Foot Village will perform. The Urxed (Rob from High Places) will perform. Limited repackaged copies of Foot Village's OOP first album/10", World Fantasy (on Not Not Fun), will be available, and a bunch more.

Hello Deathbomb Friends,

IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER SENT TO YOUR EMAIL, PLEASE SIGN UP AT http://deathbombarc.com

Just another one of those endlessly cloudy summer months here in LA... what? Well, just means more reason to stay in and bust booty on DBA stuff. At long last the last of the year 4 tape club tapes are done and packaged up and will ship out this week. People have asked if there will be a year 5. At this point, unfortunately there will not be. That said, the increase in handmade releases this year is the counterpoint to that and in July there will be another even huger wave of those! BTW - only about 4 copies left of the Blue Sabbath Black Fiji cdr from the May batch.

1. New in the distro
2. Sonic Youth, Origami Vinyl, Pocahaunted, & Deathbomb team up today!
3. "Free" new XBXRX album
4. Web Wandering
5. Upcoming LA shows

1. New in the distro
-------------------------------------
Just one new addition this week, but it is a must-have. A self-released CDr from Chicago's Fake Lake. Only 5 in stock, and I'm pretty sure no where else to get this other than if you live in Chicago. For those of you that have followed Deathbomb since the turn of the century, you'll remember a band called Djiin Teeth Fangs that did a split tapeclub tape with Quem Quaeritis and had an incredibly popular cdr in the old Neon Hates You distro. Fake Lake is Keelin frm DTF's new band. Their sound closes the gap between chicago style punk ala Coughs and the more organic Not Not Fun nature-drone sound. One of the most amazing bands Foot Village got to play with on last year's US tour, and when Fake Lake played in LA last week they were even better than before. Don't miss out!
http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/fake-lake-cdr


2. Sonic Youth, Origami Vinyl, Pocahaunted, & Deathbomb team up today!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We were very excited to be invited to participate in the official Sonic Youth record release party in LA today. It is at our new favorite record store, Origami. Here is the press release on it:

http://origamimusic.blogspot.com/2009/06/sonic-youth-to-takeover-origami-vinyl.html

In celebration of their new album on Matador Records, The Eternal, Sonic Youth will take over our little record shop. For one day only, on June 9th, Origami Vinyl will become Sonic Youth's House of Shifting Plates and Ridiculous Juice, as dubbed by the band itself. Our wall of featured albums will display selections hand-picked by Thurston, Kim, Lee, Steve and Mark - ranging from Okkyung Lee to John Lennon - as well as a wide range of Sonic Youth and Sonic Youth related releases. The band has also invited their friends Pocahaunted and Shiloe to play sets at the store. Deathbomb Arc, a local label in Los Angeles that has released some Thurston Moore stuff on vinyl, gave us the following very limited edition goodies to sell in-store:

Gang Wizard / Algebrassiere
split 12"
originally co-released between Deathbomb Arc & Ecstatic Peace
Test pressings packaged in exclusive handmade art by Melissa
Kinsman.
From 5:30 till 6:30 on June 9th, Melissa will be in-store to
personalize the art on these for the lucky buyers.
limited: 2 copies / $25

Thurston Moore / Men Who Can't Love
split 12"
originally released as a part of the Thrash Sabbatical box set by
Deathbomb Arc
Overrun of this record from the box set has been hiding at DBA HQ for
some time.
Now repackaged in exclusive handmade art by Josh Taylor.
limited: 13 copies / $15

Origami has also teamed up with local artist, Seizer, to create a special limited edition silkscreen print of the art below. The art poster will be limited to 50 copies, hand numbered and signed, available for pre-order the day of the event.

As if that weren't enough, Two Boots Pizza will create a special "Eternal" pie that resembles the album's artwork. Free slices of this pie will be given away during the event at Origami. Phil, owner of Two Boots and long-time friend of the band, is excited to be a part of the band's new release.

The details of the event are:

-----------------------------------------------
XBXRX test out the donation system for releasing their incredible new album "Un Usper". It is definitely their most amazing album to date. Check it out and donate whatever you can!

4. Web Wandering
---------------------------------------
Tiny Mix Tapes helped announce the upcoming Foot Village album, "Anti-Magic" last week. This includes both the actual release dates and the track listing for the CD version.
http://www.tinymixtapes.com/It-Takes-a-Village-of-Feet-to-Hold

Gully of Noise interviewed me re: Foot Village. They also have IVs with AIDSwolf and the Locust: http://gullyofnoise.blogspot.com/2009/06/primal-but-far-from-primitive-prying.html

My friend David from the Che Cafe has been in Taiwan. He bought a bunch of Taiwanese vinyl from the 60's, 70's and 80's while he was there. He then distilled it down to his favorite tracks and posted them for you to download! http://coolbreakfast.blogspot.com/2009/06/special-guest-mix-by-david-b.html


5. Upcoming LA shows
--------------------------------------
Last week there were 3 important shows left out of the newsletter. It is difficult for me to keep up with everything going on in LA, esp stuff not on the usual venues. If you have an event for the newsletter, please email it to me with NEWSLETTER in the subject!

Drop Dead magazine posted their new issue online for free, it includes an article on one of our favorites, Nero's Day At Disneyland. http://dropdeadmagazine.com/

3. Tapeclub update
-------------------------------------
Subscribers to year 4 of the tape club I'm sure are wondering where their last shipment of tapes are. Due to busyness, band cancellations, and a million other boring excuses, the tapes were late, but now they are all done and copied. They will be sent out early next week. If you are missing anything after getting this last shipment, please let me know! This should be the mailing to complete your box set. Thanks for your patience!

Hello Deathbomb Friends!!!

IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY OF THIS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER SENT TO YOUR EMAIL, PLEASE SIGN UP AT http://deathbombarc.com

If you have been waiting to hear what the new Foot Village record, Anti-Magic, will sound like, then today is your day! Also, some vague but awesome news about the new Captain Ahab album and a bunch more. So read closely, there are gifts for you inside!

1. Foot Village leaks from Anti-Magic
2. Captain Ahab's "The End of Irony"
3. New in our distro
4. Web watcher stuff
5. Foot Village EU tour in fall
6. Upcoming LA shows


1. Foot Village leaks from Anti-Magic
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lets get right to it: Upset the Rhythm has added a band page for Foot Village to their site. It has an awesome new bio, locks down the release date for Anti-Magic as July 09, but most importantly has an mp3 of the track "T.A.K.E." http://www.upsettherhythm.co.uk/footvillage.shtml
ALSO, Citizen Rowan has been hard at work on the Foot Village website. Although there still are some small changes to make, you should take a look because there is lots of awesome content on it including a library of all the "Chicken and Cheese 2" covers people did for the collage at the end of Anti-Magic. Dozens of free mp3s for you from the likes of Death Sentence: PANDA!, Tussle, Robert Inhuman (of Realicide), tik///tik and many many more.
The site is at http://footvillage.org
and the library is at: http://footvillage.org/music/anti-magic-friends


2. Captain Ahab's "The End of Irony"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The followup to Captain Ahab's "After The Rain My Heart Still Dreams" is much closer to coming out than we though. I talked with Jonathan the other day and he said that most of it is done. He is talking with some of his "team" this week and we will have a release date locked down very soon. In the meantime, a track from "The End of Irony" was leaked thanks to Cock Rock Disco (who will be doing the EU version of the album): http://cockrockdisco.com/CRD2/albumpages/Crockp3-016-MoCRD.html

2. Origami Vinyl store in Los Angeles
-------------------------------------------------------------
An amazing new store has opened in LA. It is a record store that only carries new vinyl. Hands down the most amazing record store I've ever been to anywhere on the planet. No kidding. Plus Neil who runs it is a total gentleman AND loves Jesus Lizard. I just went by this week and stocked them up with a bunch of Deathbomb vinyl, including some sold out stuff like the Robin Williams on Fire 7", the Thrash Sabbatical box set, and a ton more! Everyone should check this place out! http://www.origamiorigami.com/


3. my new 20 Jazz Funk Greats / Thee Outernet articles
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My newest article in 20 Jazz Funk Greats has exclusive mp3 leaks from Social Junk, Realicide, and Child Pornography: http://www.20jazzfunkgreats.co.uk/wordpress/2009/04/15/brians-cali-trip-slimer-fetish/
My newest article in Thee Outernet has a ton of links for outsider hardcore acts: http://theeouternet.blogspot.com/2009/04/outsider-hardcore.html


4. Tape Club update
---------------------------------------
To anyone that is a subscriber to the DBA Tape club, please pardon the massive delay in this last shipment. Due to some band breakups, the last tape was hard to figure out. BUT now I have the music for it. It is a split between Teeth Mountain (who are on tour both supporting and as a part of Dan Deacon's huge band) and gdfx (a Teeth Mountain solo project). The other tape being sent out soon is a split between Jason Forrest and Hawnay Troof (covering November Rain!). International subscribers and new subscribers will be caught up soon as well. Sorry for the delay! If you are concerned about your tapes, feel free to write!
