THE SLUGS HAVE A NEW LP! In August, 2020 I put out their 2nd EP on vinyl titled "Don't Touch Me I'm Too Slimy!" and a few months later they said "we've begun working on a new full length album!" and I said "Hooray! I cannot wait to hear it and I hope you'll let me put it out!" then after years of little check-ins here and there, Lib and Phoebe sent me an email with everything finally finished! All the tracks, 90% of the artwork, title, center labels...etc just like - ready to go! and it rules! The album is called "A Song For Every Feeling" and it's because they wrote all of these songs while going through some very big life changes - which brought on a wide variety of feelings and I think it came out perfect! You can currently hear 2 songs from the album on their bandcamp page. But the full length comes out officially on Friday, December 6th. **FINGERS CROSSED** that I have the records by then! They are shipping from Poland, I was told they went into production last week and am hoping to get some tracking info this coming week! Pre-Orders will be sent out as soon as I get them! I FOUND SOME DEADSTOCK STICKERS!I was cleaning up my office (aka Related Records HQ) and found a handful of stickers that had been sold out for a while.
NEW REVIEW FOR AND OLD RELEASE!
MARY OCHER IS ON TOUR!This is exciting for a couple of reasons. 1. It's Mary Ochers first time playing in the USA in over 5 years! 2. Her new albums are so good! and are both getting a special limited edition cassette version released on Related Records specifically for this tour!

Related Records will be set up at PHX FAT MARKET on Saturday December 7th. I will be sharing a tent with my favorite local jewelry maker LATER OPERATOR! We will each have a table set up with our goods PLUS we will have a big clothing rack filled with our clothes (sizes XL-6XL) that will be for sale.  Then on Sunday, January 19th I am booking the Mary Ocher Phoenix show! It has been over 10 years since she last played in Phoenix and every time has just been so cool/memorable. The local support is from 2 of my favorite local bands (both of which are pretty new bands, but not new to performing)
GOHNE - featuring Lonna Kelley (from Cherie Cherie, Giant Sand and frequent collaborator/featured guest with Treasure Mammal and almost every artist on Moone Records), Jay Hufman (from Gene Tripp, Cherie Cherie and frequent collaborator with Golden Boots), Wally Boudway (from Wooden Indian, Slow Moses, Califone and frequent collaborator with Yairms as well as like... every other super talented musician in Phoenix) - Here is an okay video of them playing inside an old train station for Moone Records Fest last year. Every time I have seen them play it has been haunting and beautiful. I AM MISS HAVISHAM - this band features 2 artists who I have been a fan of for years but still don't know all that well. Bailey (aka Kylo Gun) and Ava Fox have both been playing in local punk bands since they could hold their instruments and they both have had that fierce / honest / no bullshit type attitude about them that seems very genuine and real to me, so whenever they have something new they are working on, I try to book them when it makes sense and works out. This new project though is the coolest + most exciting to me, with I AM MISS HAVISHAM I see and hear elements of bands like Elastica, Pere Ubu, Mika Miko, Automatic, The Muffs, but with a good mix of like art school and a sprinkle of Negativland mixed in. Watch this video of their first show and you'll see what I mean - I think they really should be playing every good show happening in Phoenix right now, cause this shit rules. |
