I would be doing myself a disservice if I didn’t mention that this Saturday, May 30th, the Moustache May 2009 Wrap Party will be taking place at Mercy Lounge. The debut live performance from Uncle Skeleton will be accompanied by solid treats from And The Relatives and Ghostfinger.

Speaking of And The Relatives, they have a forthcoming Lake Fever Session and you can (and should) watch a preview of it here. It’s unfortunate that the audio is a bit on the rough side (in-camera style) but that will make next weeks debut just that much more enjoyable.

Jeremy Ferguson, mastermind of Battle Tapes, was nice enough to catch us up with all the craziness he’s been involved in for the past few months.

last we spoke of the old battle tapes schedule, i was getting ready to go into the studio with turbo fruits, i think. well, the january session ended up being sorta preproduction/warmup for the new fruits lineup in the studio at welcome to 1979 and we cut 11 tunes, one of them making the bside of the new “Mama’s Mad Cos I Fried My Brain” 7″ that fat possum released earlier this month or something. we completed recording for what has become the 18 songs which are currently being put into possible varying track orders for LP2 in the uk and us. it’s a really fantastic group of tunes and i’m really excited for people to hear it… should be out around the end of september or beginning of october, i’m thinking.
