The Moonlight Market was wonderful, Related Records raised $110 for unsheltered phx from the sales of the Heat Is Murder T-Shirts. Even though it is barely April, we are already seeing some temperatures in the high 90's here in Phoenix.

Unsheltered Phx is an organization that is doing real work to help our houseless neighbors, providing them with coolers, tarps, storing their belongings when they get arrested for sleeping on the street, refilling their prescriptions, organizing protests, holding city council members accountable and providing information and updates on what the city of Phoenix is doing to either help or fuck over our community.

​So anyway, thanks for buying those shirts and supporting this cause, it means a lot.

Holiday Gift Ideas

I'm gonna speak candidly for a bit in this newsletter (ha! as if I am ever not writing every newsletter like a personal letter to a friend or some shit... ANYWAY!)

I hate holidays... all of them, even my birthday most years. BUT some people who are close stressed to me recently that I should take holidays more seriously and as a "business" I could/should use this holiday season to try and boost sales or something. So this newsletter is going to be all about my Related Records holiday gift suggestions.

And the reason this email is going out when it is, is because if you want to ensure you get something before "the holiday" you need to place your order before I go to the post office next on December 5th.

THE FUNNY UNCLES "I've Been Drugged" T-SHIRT
​

This shirt comes in gold or white and features a large screen printed illustration from John-Ross Boyce from the Funny Uncles album "Writin' Songs" it includes a sticker with the same image/message and a download code for all 180 songs+jingles on the "Writin Songs" album
​
The other reason this is such a fantastic gift is because the sizing is inclusive of all adult bodies ranging from Small-6XL 
​(while supplies last)

BUY 1 GET 3 SALE!

I've done this before and people seem to enjoy it! So for the rest of the year 2021 I am offering these 3 different sales, which is a fantastic way to find out about new music or introduce someone else to some cool new music. OR maybe you have a loved one who just got a record, cassette and/or CD player and you want to give them a cool boost for their brand new collection!
​
Or maybe you have that one super weird friend that has an 8-track player and you want to surprise them with a new (as in made in 2015) 8-track! Check out this hidden/under rated gem. VARIOUS ARTISTS "Dick" 8-TRACK

MOOEY MOOBAU "LIVE BLOODY LIVE" CD

U.S. HIGHBALL "GREAT RECORD" LP

JACOB SMIGEL "The Carol Tapes" Cassette

I feel like the distro​ page is overlooked a lot and there is a ton of great stuff in there.
​
Maybe there is only 1-2 artists on Related Records that you like, when was the last time you checked out their artist page to see if maybe I have added something related to them for sale? The artists that have the most items to choose from are

Dinosaur Love

Fathers Day

Hi My Name Is Ryan

Human Behavior

Turqouiz Noiz / Sweat Lodge

Treasure Mammal / Taurus Daddies

Maybe you wanna get something for someone who is a loving/caring human being and they don't care so much about material things? Here are some items that Related Records has to offer that benefit other people/groups.
​
The HEAT IS MURDER t-shirt is $15.99 and all of that goes towards mutual aid supplies for the people of phoenix.It's available in Small-3XL
Picture
Picture
The "I Hope This Helps" mixtape is $20 and all $20 goes to unshelteredphx which is a mutual aid group that is working to decriminalize homelessness and provide supplies for our houseless neighbors in Phoenix, AZ.

The mix tape is compiled of punk music that has helped me throughout my life.

If you show me you have donated $20 or more to this group I will send this mix tape to you as well.

Only 5 left by the way.

This "Barnard Sanders is the 46th President of the United States of America"​ sticker is $5 and all the money gets venmoed to Black and Indigenous People.

The story behind this sticker is like an inside joke gone wild. From summer 2020-summer 2021 I had a website where I sold these stickers called 46thpresident.shop.
​
Anyway, I still have a ton of these, so I include them in orders, but continue to send Black and Indigenous people money monthly on Venmo.
Picture
Did you know that there is a "Send as a Gift" feature on bandcamp? Well there is, and it's great! i've used it a handful of times to send friends a single or an album that I think they would like and tomorrow (12/03/2021) is the last Bandcamp Friday of the year and possibly ever. on Bandcamp Friday, bandcamp waves all of their fees and gives 100% of the money to the artists. It rules, and it has really helped a lot of artists get through the last 2 years because so many governments all over the world have done such a shit job of taking care of their citizens during the pandemic (Which is still a thing by the way, what the fuck?!) Anyway, I pay out the artists on Related Records twice a year for digital sales and the next time I pay everyone is coming up later this month, so if you already own something digitally, this is a great way to support your favorite artists and get them some money this month. ​
Anyway, here is what people are listening to on the RR bandcamp

BANDCAMP DAY IS HERE AGAIN!

100% of the sales from downloads on the Related Records Bandcamp page this weekend will be going towards Mutual Aid PHX. If you would just like to donate, I am doing a costco run for supplies on Saturday or Sunday, so you can send donations here this weekend and know that's where the money is going, I will show my reciepts on the Related Records Instagram stories. There is also still "Heat Is Murder" shirts available in sizes Small-3XL and all the money from these shirts goes towards this cause as well. Last month, I did a run & raised close to $500.

NEW HI MY NAME IS RYAN ALBUM

HI MY NAME IS RYAN "I FEEL LIKE CRYING" CD

$5.99

HI MY NAME IS RYAN "I FEEL LIKE CRYING" TAPE

$5.99
Hey 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.

Hi My Name Is Ryan is going on tour... kinda

Picture
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.

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...

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

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

PRAY FOR RAIN FUNDRAISER!

From the bands GoFundMe
"Waddup Homeys

We're about to get the 2nd Turqouiz Noiz album pressed on vinyl and we couldn't be more stoked. This new album flows solid front to back, sounds great and we had a bomb-ass time making it. 

Rachel had the idea to have a GoFundMe to cover the last bits of cash needed to make it. Rather than just giving us cash, this would essentially be a pre-order for the album and when it's pressed, you'd get your copy. We figured doing this might expedite us getting the physical copy in our hands as opposed to scrounging up the money over the next couple months. 

We got a couple tours coming up that we're trying to have the vinyl for. One in July, one in August and one out to the East Coast in September.  We been hustling at home to get the word out and to get out to as many other towns as we can. We got so many good homeys out here who've been supporting us and asking us when the new album is coming out so we figured this might be a good way to have the answer be "Much Sooner Than We Had Planned"

SO: If you were gonna buy a copy when we got one pressed-pre-order/donate and we'll be able to get them made sooner. If you got homeys who like the band, let them know about this and we'll get the record pressed even sooner.

Stay Lit out there"
