Obnox reissue, New Unholy Two 7″ and some big plans for 2013

2) our reissue of the 2011 Obnox LP, ‘I’m Still Bleeding’ (12XU 039-1), originally released in 2011 by Smog Veil, comes out at the end of August.

3) Rebecca Gates and the Consortium just completed their 2nd batch of US touring in support of ‘The Float’. There’s a great live session taped by OPM Music available for streaming.

4) Cruddy are currently touring the western US and they’ve got an 8 song casstte of new material that you’d better snap up before some label forces an overproduced, overpriced version out of them.

4) The Golden Boys are playing Goner Fest, preceded by Eastern U.S. dates with The Spider Bags and the Limes.

5) Unholy Two’s first recordings as a quartet will be available on a new 12XU 7″ in mid-September.

6) on the horizon : a debut 7″ from Melbourne’s Ratsak, the first first studio offerings from Dustin Pilkington & Anthony Davis’ slaytastic Burnt Skull, the debut album from Austin’s Sweet Talk, the first new recordings from Austin’s The Gospel Truth in way too long, and that oft-promised, but not yet delivered full length from James Arthur’s Manhunt. And some surprises. Please act surprised.

The Golden Boys – “Dirty Fingernails” video

The Golden Boys – “Dirty Fingernails”, from the LP, ‘Dirty Fingernails’ (12XU 033-1). Directed by James Parker and Jeremy Ward.

The Golden Boys are playing a free show for the Austin Chronicle’s Paper Cuts series on Tuesday, May 15. This is terrific news because we’ve been sitting around for weeks wondering what chain of events would have to occur for the band to allowed to play in front of Quiet Company fans. You might even say it’s a lifetime dream come true.

If, however, a promotional event for the local weekly isn’t to your liking, you can see The Golden Boys on June 16 at Austin’s Scottish Rite Theatre, supporting Quintron and Miss Pussycat.

We’ll have news shortly about Chris Brokaw’s forthcoming autumn full-length, along with new albums from Burnt Skull, James Arthur’s Manhunt and a reissue of Obnox’s ‘I’m Bleeding Now’ (Smog Veil, 2011). Early next year, we’re looking forward to new albums from a pair of Austin bands, The Gospel Truth and Sweet Talk.

Rebecca Gates and the Consortium – ‘The Float’ LP – coming June 12

‘The Float’ is the first album from Spinanes founder Rebecca Gates since 2001’s ‘Ruby Series’, recorded in fits and starts since from ’04 onwards. Featuring members of Califone, Godspeed You Black Emperor, The Jicks, Iron and Wine, Los Lobos, Tortoise, Silver Mt. Zion, The Sea and Cake, Wild Flag, Eleventh Dream Day, The Decemberists, Blue Cranes and Portland Cello Project, this is by far, Gates’ most ambitious work and an early best-of-2012 candidate. In stores, June 12.
