NEW HI MY NAME IS RYAN ALBUMHey it's me, Ryan, I got a new album and its official release date is today, but if you pre-ordered one, you probably already got it because I have been mailing them out as soon as I got them. Anyway, this is a follow up to my last album "Honestly" and I think its just as good as that one. It's got a couple stories, some old songs, a couple covers and a magic trick. On Friday I am going to be live streaming a performance around 5:30pm (Pacific Coast time) on the Related Records instagram. I wanted to organize a whole live streaming album release show but I think It's just gonna be me.
NEW SHIRT FOR A GOOD CAUSE!! All sales from this shirt will go towards supplies that will be donated to the PHX Mutual Aid Solidarity Network. which is an all-volunteer grassroots group operating in Phoenix, AZ. They are prioritizing folks who are sick, disabled, quarantined without pay, elderly, undocumented, queer, Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color. This group does not accept cash donations.
This group is doing a lot of work with the homeless population in Phoenix right now and in case you are not aware, the city of Phoenix has very few shade structures and is forcing this community to set up camp in vacant parking lots in the middle of summer, the average temperature in Phoenix between the months of May-October is 102. Shirts were designed and paid for by @later_operator

Hi My Name Is Ryan is going on tour... kinda Back in December I requested the first two weeks of May off from my day job so Hi My Name Is Ryan could go on a little West Coast tour. Obviously that’s not happening now, so I am experimenting with a digital live-stream European tour with my friends from all over the world* Each show will start at 8pm CET (Central European Time) that is about 11AM on the west coast of the US and a few hours later if you’re in a different part of the US. This is also maybe an hour later if you are somewhere else in Europe. Time Zones are confusing so I’ll leave it up to you to figure it out for yourself.
Click here for more info on the different shows, the artists playing them and how to support them. *=USA and Europe Today is Bandcamp Day!On March 20, 2020, Bandcamp waived their revenue share in order to help artists and labels impacted by the pandemic. The Bandcamp community showed up in a massive way, spending $4.3 million on music and merch—15x the amount of a normal Friday— helping artists cover rents, mortgages, groceries, medications, and so much more. It was truly inspiring. But the pandemic and its impact on the music community aren’t over, so today, as well as on June 5, and July 3 (the first Friday of each month), Bandcamp is waiving their revenue share for all sales on the platform, from midnight to midnight PDT on each day. If you wanna help...Check out the following links and buy something today.
HEY REMEMBER THESE?! In case you havent been following the stories on the Related Records instagram... There was some issues when screen printing these and only about half the orders were able to get sent out. I had to order new shirts/sweaters to replace the ones I fucked up. I was planning on screen printing them last week but then this Coronavirus shit started getting REAL SCARY and now everyone is isolating themselves (myself included, because of my terrible immune system) So I wont be able to finish these until its safe enough for me to do normal things again. I feel awful and will give refunds to anyone who wants one. OR you can wait > I screen print the new shirt/sweater ASAP and throw in a TON of extra merchandise for free. I am thinking like an extra $50-$60 worth of merch for being patient and understanding. Let me know. ANYWAY...I put all the fuck up shirts/sweaters online for people to purchase if they want. They are priced at cost pretty much. $5.99 for shirts and $10.99 for sweaters, plus shipping.

 1970s U.K. CompilationAlmost a year ago, I had the idea to do a compilation of songs from 1970s U.K. artists and I now that I have a grip of songs from friends and it is now looking more like a reality, I am finally putting some energy into this project. So far we have covers of the following artists: The Specials, T-Rex, David Bowie, Crass and Roxy Music. But there are so many other amazing artists to pay tribute to from this period of time and I want to hear them.
If you are interested in contributing something to this compilation, send your submissions or questions to majestic.ryan@gmail.com The deadline is going to be June 23rd-ish and it will be released digitally for free on our bandcamp. More info can be found on this Facebook Event Page cd & cassette sale!!I need to clear some room in the office. So you select 1 tape (or CD) for $8.99 and I am going to through in 2 more tapes (or CDs) from our catalog for free. (Plus, like all other orders from Related Records we throw in free download cards, buttons, random photos, old show flyers and other cool shit) we are on depop now! It's my new favorite app on my phone. I am going to be listing clothes and other non-media band merchandise here every day. Follow us!  For the past couple of months Related Records has been selling and playing records at the Black Market (located at Dark Hall Coffee in Phoenix) I feel bad that, I haven't really posted about it outside of Instagram until this newsletter. It rules, 10-12 vendors curated by people I adore and a portion of all the sales always go to benefit a different animal shelter, PLUS Dark Hall Coffee is the coolest coffee shop in AZ with the best desserts. If any of this sounds good to you, you should go. I think starting in May it's going to be happening at night too! Which should be pretty weird/great!
Instagram / Facebook DINOSAUR LOVE
"Dinosaurs Have Feelings Too" is finally here!
Dinosaur Love is the solo project of Peter Kulikowski . I first saw him perform these adorable Dinosaur Songs when he was 19 years old and just out of Art School. I thought “this kid is going to grow out of this and that’s a real shame” So I put out his first album “Dinosaurs Attack!” the next year thinking that would probably be the end of it. But that was definitely not the case, the same year he recorded and released a Christmas album “Have a Dino Christmas” and then the following year wrote a brand new dinosaur song each week for an entire year. You can see and hear these songs on his bandcamp, some of them are mind meltingly bad as you can imagine but others are so smart and clever. Then in 2017 Related Records released is extremely complicated concept album “The Gospel” songs about the Illuminati hiding dinosaurs from us, Jesus was a dinosaur, dinosaurs fought in World War 2… lots of conspiracy theories and religious shit going on, on that album. “Dinosaurs Have Feelings Too” is a much simpler, catchier take on songs about dinosaurs, obvious influences from Brian Wilson and early Flaming Lips. Pretty much all love songs on this album and I am sure is going to be a hit this Valentine’s Day.

On August 3rd, 2006 The Phoenix New Times published an article written by Benjamin Leatherman about Ryan Avery. On August 7th Ryan Avery is contacted (via Myspace) by two film makers from Utah that want to make a short documentary about him. On August 10th those film makers show up at Ryan's house in downtown Phoenix and spend the next 2 weeks filming a feature length documentary and conducting interviews with Ryan's friends, family, peers and critics click here to read more and download it. PRAY FOR RAIN REVIEWS!
"This is a group of Bay Area weirdo rockers that sound like a friendly version of the BUTTHOLE SERFERS or if MR. BUNGLE wanted to perform for children. The mood of this album drifts back and both between chill stoner vibes and the terrifying experience of realizing you drank too much MD 20/20 and are in for a rough night of flailing and throwing up. The most exciting thing about this album is that I don't believe I've heard much that sounds like it, so it's a nice treat to experience something completely unique." - Maximum Rock N' Roll
"There's been a wave of modern psychedelic music the past few years, and we've been all for it. If you love psychedelia but hate the hippie vibes it usually entails, the new album from Oakland's Turqouiz Noiz is worth your time." - If It's Too Loud " If you dig Garage/Punk with more than just a tinge of warped psychedelia then you may want to give this a listen." - Thee Psychedelicatessen An italian blog wrote a nice review about the new freaks of nature CD. here it is translated in english.
