So much has
been going on the past year I haven't even had time to post much about it but
here goes! Ok, we celebrated one year in the red. In other words, we
are releasing discs (both physically and digital) and still not making any money
but are putting out some great releases. We kicked off the year with the
first release by Transient Songs. The EP is called "Plantation to Your
Youth" and was recorded late 2007 and early 2008. That EP is finally in
its initial promotional stage being sent regionally by XO Publicity in Portland.
Early in 2008 I broke my arm so everything music related (including much work on
the label) was on hold. In Early 2008 we also put out the first EP by my
old mates in Ft. Worth, Barrel Delux. This was a six song EP and is a
great EP. Finally we are just now putting the finishing touches on the
Eyes, Wings And Many Other Things first full length release titled "Tonsils,
Toes And Everyone Knows". We have high expectations for this release and
are excited to see this one get released. Look for the actual release mid
August.
It's not easy
making a buck putting out music these days as the compact disc is going the way
of the eight track and people simply are not into paying for music much anymore.
We encourage you to consume our bands music anyway you can but if you have
Rhapsody or iTunes, a play or a purchase sure would be appreciated. We are
not in this to make money but having enough to sustain and put out the next
release sure is nice. Anyhow, I'll try to keep things updated more.

Greetings,
We have been busy getting The Me-Thinks release on the major music sites
(CDBaby, Amazon, iTunes, Rhapsody). That and sending out copies to some rags
has been eating up what little spare time we have. Look for a financial bust
or a good year from us hear at Indian Casino Records. Cheers,
Jack

The
Me-Thinks album is Out! Sort of. I just got back from Texas and is the
case with many things in the record industry and Haltom City in general, things
don't always go as planned. The show was great. The band played well,
the people came out. The Wreck felt like home, etc,etc. But we had a
CD release with no CD's. We did our best to get everything lined up in time
but they will not be in until Wednesday. We did however give out some Bensonhurst
Bucks as vouchers and those who bought early got a killer t shirt. 8 bucks
for a t and a record (a double ep that is) is a hell of deal. So the album
is on it's way and it should be available on Rhapsody and iTunes in a few weeks.
I came home with a wad of cash, half of which was blown at the airport bar and the
other half that I'm still carrying around. Thank god for tax write offs.
And thanks to Linda for manning the merch booth while I was being a typical Jack
and not minding my business like I should. Oh yeah, buy a CD! Cheers,
Jack

Well
well well. The time is upon us. Saturday
night is The official release of The Me-Thinks make
mine a double ep. This bitch has been years in
the making and you won't be let down. I'm
taking time away from my busy schedule to fly down
to the Lone Star State to party with the boys.
If you are in town, Ft.Worth town that is or Texas
for that matter and you aren't at the show on the
11th at the Wreck room you're missin out (on
something at least). I'll be the one with the
suit on at the cd sales table if anyone cares to
stop by and say hi. Oh yeah, if you
think your band is great (don't we all have bands we
think are great?) then feel free to drop off a copy
at the table. I'm looking for some good talent
and can't afford the bands in Seattle anymore....
See you in Texas
-Jack
