BloodLust! sold out of Plague Bringer

I meant to post this the other day, but BloodLust! is totally out of the Plague Bringer "Burning Inside" box set. The band still has a small number on hand for their upcoming Chicago and Milwaukee shows. I was just told that the Reckless Records store in Wicker Park will have the final few copies on hand from the stock that all three locations started with this past Saturday. Thanks to everyone who enthusiastically supported this release! It was a great project to work on, all the way around...

Plague Bringer at Reckless

There was an excellent turnout at Reckless Records yesterday for Plague Bringer's Record Store Day show and the band sounded great. And at the last moment, when the packed crowd thought that they were finished, Greg announced that they were going to play "Burning Inside," much to the enthusiastic crowd's approval. I believe that this was only the second time that they played the song, the other time being the very first time that Isidro and I saw the band, when they appeared with Prurient at Transmission Gallery in June of 2004 (!). Von Leutch and I ran over to Beard Papa's for a chocolate custard cream puff and a nice shot of Illy espresso, and I had to be content to watch Sweet Cobra from outside the store, rather than fight through the crowd to get back inside. Bassist and vocalist Botchy Vaquez rewarded the sidewalk audience by popping out of the store a couple of times, once even with his microphone stand. Fun day! Thanks to everyone who came out to support the band and the special "Burning Inside" box set!!

BlackBerry Snapshots of Plague Bringer Box Set

After a marathon session last night, the Plague Bringer box sets are all assembled and they are being dropped off at the three Reckless Records stores today, in preparation for tomorrow's Record Store Day event, featuring Plague Bringer live at the downtown store. Here are some low-quality BlackBerry snapshots of what the boxes look like. This is definitely one of the most elaborate BloodLust! releases ever...
