Good year.

We played some great shows. Here’s Annandale in a basement in Oakland. Here’s Sleep Debt at the DNA, opening for Kylesa. Here’s our friends Madraso, killing it at our record release show. Here’s an idiotic but accurate video documenting the one bit of touring we got to do this year.

We recorded and released a record. HAVE YOU BOUGHT A COPY.

The record got some good reviews. 9/10 at Lambgoat, 8/10 at Decibel, etc.

The record also made some “Top XX of 2009″ lists. Here’s one, here’s another.

Snailface.

Good year.

We’ll try and do the thing again this year.

Life on the road, man

Heading off today to play a few dates out of town. Tonight – Chico CA. Friday – Eugene OR. Saturday – Portland OR.

If you live near these places, come see us and we can play Pass The Pigs and talk about Billy Squier.

This is finally the day.

YES! Our new record, Gambling on the Richter Scale, is available today.

You can buy it at the Perpetual Motion Machine Store. The LP with included CD is only $11.

You can also download the entire record for free.

We owe big thank yous to Paul from PMM for putting out this record, to Greg Thompson for mastering, and to Bradee Evans for graphic design. Thanks, guys. Next time we’ll totally pay you. Not you, Paul.

Silkscreening CD sleeves

Spent a bunch of time this weekend silkscreening 500 CD sleeves, to be inserted in the vinyl package. We did the first color with the regular silkscreen rig, added type with a Gocco printer, then glued everything together. The results are pretty great.

Preorders now available!

YES! Preorders are now available for our upcoming opus, Gambling on the Richter Scale, at The Perpetual Motion Machine store.

It’s lovingly packaged as 12″ vinyl in a heavyweight jacket, with an included CD in a hand-silkscreened sleeve. There are two flavors of vinyl: clear, and black/silver swirl. Here’s the cover:

Perpetual Paul is also doing a cool limited-edition t-shirt; the shirt is a “preorder only” thing.

Release date is Sept 29, but preorders will ship as soon as the vinyl comes in, which will almost certainly be a couple of weeks early.

Here is where you go to make the ordering.

Done mixing

gse — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:59:35 +0000

We finished mixing a week or two ago, actually. Now Grammy Greg and I are going back and forth about mastering details. VOLUME WAR. And we’re working on album cover details and hashing out production details with Paul.

Hey, here’s some cool pics that Shannon Corr took at our last Oakland show.

Have you heard of twitter?

It’s so very.

No more CDs

gse — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 06:29:34 +0000

We sold out of Turk Street CDs. We may do a repressing, gotta wait until the new record is done first.

Speaking of the new record, making lots of progress. Tracking has been done for a couple of weeks, all the songs are just about mixed, and the album cover is coming along.

In the meantime, you can buy a Snailface tie and skateboard.
