Friends, there is SO MUCH EXCITEMENT GOING ON OVER HERE.
Firstly, we are about to do a co-release with our dear friends over at the brand new label “Little Room Labs”! We are releasing “Esther Grey”‘s debut 7″!!! And they are an absolutely FANTASTIC band. So it is a perfect fit. Really really really excited about this, it is impossible to hear this band and not add them to your favourites. You can check out some of their music on their Band Camp page here: http://esthergrey.bandcamp.com/
Secondly, right now Label Fantastic Co-founders Mathias Kom and Wax Mannequin are at an insanely incredible musical summit in the Yukon. Our honorary Label-ite Richard Laviolette is there too! Along with our fantastic musical best friends Construction and Destruction and Shot Gun Jimmie and Mike Feurestack, and a bunch of other awesome people. It is being put together by You’ve Changed and Headless Owl Records. It’s called “The Cost of Doing Business” and you can find out more about it here: https://www.facebook.com/events/204621099707984/ And YES I’m insanely jealous. Of COURSE I am. Because it sounds like it’s pretty much the best thing ever. Make us proud, friends!
Richard Laviolette and Jenny Omnichord and Wax Mannequin and Esther Grey AND Blimp Rock ALL have a bunch of shows coming up. SO MANY CHANCES TO SEE FANTASTIC LABEL FANTASTIC! BANDS!!! I listed as many as I could track down down below on the post here. There’s lots of overlap, some of us even sharing bills, so make sure you have your calendar ready! A couple of us are headed all the way to the East. Lots of us are playing Ottawa. If I could find a way to be everywhere at once, even if it was a magical power that expired after one month, this November is the month I would use it. Holy Moly.
