VUM free cassette release performance
Friday, October 21st at 7pm




VUM's first cassette was "Strange Attractor" on Los Angeles' Living Tapes in 2009, and now they're playing Vacation Vinyl to celebrate the release of the "Night Sun" also on Living Tapes. Dreamy Keyboards and guitar melt in some sort of new-wave post punk bliss.

CRAFT - VOID LP on SOUTHERN LORD




Erupting forth from the filthiest ranks of the underworld, the long-awaited new album from Swedish black metal horde, CRAFT, is finally upon us!

Diehards of CRAFT’s vicious, orthodox black metal bombardment have been seething in anticipation of this album for years, their immensely praised/feared 2005-released Fuck The Universe full-length having infected the metal community on impressive new levels for this previously cult outfit. But 2011 will bring that wait to a crushing end, with the release of the band’s fourth LP, Void. Delivering a nine-track convoy of punishing black hymns over forty nine-minutes, Void does not just pick up where Fuck The Universe left off, rather it also explores some crushing new angles, as well as revisits some of CRAFT’s earlier, scathing days, and wholly channels the band’s obvious, endless hate unto the human population. (from EARSPLIT).

Vacation Vinyl will have copies available on Clear with Black Splatter vinyl.

TOMMY KAT RECORDS film kickstarter

"Tommy Kat Records" is new series being developed for Internet or TV broadcast about a woman owns an independent record store and the struggles she faces in a tough economy and the digital age. The story will focus on these difficulties as well as the sort of people who love and frequent independent record stores across the country.

They're attempting to raise some funding via Kickstarter to make this project a reality. Below you can view the promotional trailer they've made:

PRIZEHOG free in-store
Friday, October 14th @ 7pm



For all of you hard and heavies that like it slow and low, and dig the likes of the Melvins, Harvey Milk, Boris and other slo-mo dirge merchants. But Prizehog infuse their low end assault with all manner of druggy psychedelia, warped doom pop and blurred blissed out slow-core, conjuring up a sound that pounds and pummels, drift and shimmers, grinds and churns, slipping effortlessly from bombastic Melvinsy howl and chug, to a super hooky heaviness, that reminds us of the warped Buttholes beholden noisepop of Prizehog pals Wildildlife, from a sort of bluesy, blissed out tarpit ZZ Top swing and swagger, to a dark and dolorous black hole heavy slowcore a la Codeine or True Widow, often all wound up into a single song.
