ASCETIC RECORDS EARLY SPRING '09 UPDATE
Here it is fast and hard for the people. You're busy, we are too! Let us tell you about our bands that still swim relatively below the radar despite releasing, arguably, the best, most interesting stuff happening today under that massive umbrella of "rock" music. Call it indie, call it prog, call it metal, call it punk. We call it, "What do you mean you don't own their new disc yet, are you freaking high??" Nah, we love you all and are happy to minister to your needs.
TRAINDODGE -
The new disc, "I Am Forever," is in and ready to be ordered!!! Yes, I said it's in, yes you can order it now from Ascetic Records. Recorded by the one and only John Congleton, delivering his famous "Congle-Tone," this is beyond "must have" levels of awesomeness. Order now.
Traindodge will be touring in May to support this beaster. Keep your browsers dialed to their page for updates on this.
ROMA 79 -
Their latest disc, "Praise The Divide," will be available from I-tunes and pretty much every single digital retail spot worth visiting. You know it, you may own it already, buy it again. If you haven't heard it... I mean, why do we even write these updates... are you reading this? Their new disc is fucking brilliant. So brilliant that I will use a curse word in a general news update. Sorry for the swearing, moms.
Hieu and Christine -
Are getting hitched! Whoohoo! The wedding is October 9th, and the BIG SHOW/Celebrathonization is Saturday October 10th at the Firebird. Do you really need to ask which bands are playing? C'mon buddy. You have plenty of notice to make this an event you can attend. Hieu, Chris and the rest of us would love to see you all there! Give it up for the raddest dude on earth! 'Till then,....
Bestish,
Andrew@asceticrecords.com
-OTHER STUFF-
Some fellow Ascetic folks have launched an indie-distro company based in Oklahoma called, DATA PANIC DISTRO.
Wanna get some t-shirts? www.DATAPANICDISTRO.com So far, GPS, Traindodge and Riddle of Steel have opted in to sell stuff here along with The Flaming Lips, Starlight Mints, Destroyer Destroyer, El Paso Hot Button, Okie Noodling, among others. Look for Ascetic Records t-shirts here soon as well. Sweeeeet!
The rad thing is, these dudes run a screen printing shop, so there's no way in hell they'll ever run out of anything. They'll just print more! Records, cd's and other tidbits will be sold here as well. You can never have too many places where your stuff is for sale, can you? We think not.
Yo! It is jim from The El Camino. The New Sorrows (myself and a violinist with the occasional guest) are coming through in July- lemme know if you gots anything going on that we could be a part of.
Other than that I just hope all is well!
Jim
I'd really like to see the phylum silica artwork posted somewhere so I can have it for my iPhone.
I'd also like you to put out a record for me so I can start touring again already. Word.
Thanks for being our friend!!! Check out our new film REBEL SCUM. Insanity, Sex, Drugs and Rock in the Bible Belt! It features Dropsonic and a soundtrack featuring Traindodge.
Hope all is well with you!

Elastica doing Weezer. Ace, obviously." NME
"Sludge-sleek pop songs with spiky guitars and ear splitting noise
freakouts. Ones to watch." The Guardian
"Like one of the Deal sisters in a cosmic deathray fight with Be Your Own
Pets Jemina." NME
