Animal Law Double-Dose

Animal Law will decamp from our Near West Side cluster, to Hyde Park, for a busy weekend at The University of Chicago. On Friday night, we will perform live on WHPK, and we may talk a bit, too. A link is included below, so that you can listen to the live stream, via your computer. On Saturday, we will perform outdoors, in daylight, at the annual Summer Breeze festival. I will have some SPF 50, even though the forecast calls for it to be in the mid-60s and cloudy. Please note that the show starts at Noon, not at 2:00 PM, as originally listed. You will probably be able to go back to sleep after the show, before Saturday night actually rolls around. How nice.

PHASES : CONTINUED

After some artwork tweaking and additional meetings with Rococo Records, the BLOODYMINDED "PHASES : THREE" vinyl set is finally about to go into production. We are really excited to finally see this project through! As "Within The Walls" is moving slower than we had hoped [this may serve as an official announcement that we have blown our hoped-for June 6th release date], we will now happily announce that there will be a "PHASES : FOUR" 12-inch released by Land O'Smiles, as part of their Black Lodge Series

Dwindling 7-inch Stock

There have been several orders over the last few days for the Atrax Morgue "Her Guts" 7-inch... I am down to my last eight (8) copies, as of this morning. If you are interested in grabbing one, please e-mail me first to confirm availability. Last chance on these...

Also, with the new CD out, I am now down to my last 25 copies of the M.O. (Mauthausen Orchestra) "Forbidden Ground" 7-inch


Thanks!
Mark

OUT NOW: B!090 Slogun "The Glory Of Murder"

BloodLust! New Release - Out Now:

Artist: Slogun
Title: "The Glory Of Murder"
Format: CD
Catalog Number: BloodLust! 090 / Circle Of Shit 21
Genre: Power-Electronics / Noise / Experimental / Industrial / True Crime Electronics




This is the sixth and final release in the main part of the Slogun "History of Violence" re-issue campaign. "The Glory Of Murder" was originally released on cassette, in April 1998, on the short-lived Italian label, Soffitta Macabra, which was co-run by Marco "Depla" Deplano [Wertham, Foresta Di Ferro, etc.] and Pino; The hand-numbered edition of 100 copies has long been a rarity; This cassette was a major entry in the evolving world of true crime subject matter, which Slogun was already immersed in, and it was also the last cassette released by Slogun prior to a notable switch-over to the compact disc medium; Like the first five re-issue CDs in the set, the audio for this re-mastered version was expertly prepared in Lille, France, by Jerome Nougaillon, while John Balistreri's bold graphic design follows the standard that he created for the ongoing series. This CD is packaged in a jewel box with a four-panel color and black and white booklet; True Crime Electronics - FTW.

Track Listing:
1. “Cross Their Hearts”
2. “I Divide”
3. “In My Mind's Eye”
4. “The Sex Beast”
5. “All Hail!”
6. “B.T.K.”

Destroyed Ears

Animal Law practice has seriously laid waste to my ears. Christ. Well, we seem all set for the U of C double-header this weekend. Oh, and the Saturday concert starts at 12:00 Noon, not at 2:00 PM, as was listed in the monthly update. We should be streaming live, on Friday, by the way...

Status - 05/12/08

- Super Eight Loop day... recording + mixing in progress

- Packing orders... I hope to have all Slogun distro orders and pre-orders taken care of quickly, along with the weekend's eBay sales

- Of note -- The City of Chicago appears to be cracking down on unlicensed venues and uninsured promoters. AV-aerie was issued a severe citation over the weekend. The following link has much more information on legislation that is being pushed through, etc. This will, no doubt, severely impact noise shows in the city: http://chicago-music.org/promoters.php
