NEW 1,2,3 PARTYY! MUSIC VIDEO!!! Directed by Aaron Brown and Ben Chappell



Below is footage from Studio-O-Rama in Cleveland on 9/5/09. Thanks to Steve Barrett:



Below is footage from the vinyl mastering sessions for The Mission of Burma Definitive Editions:

Not A Photograph is now available through MVD. You can pick up a copy right here.


'The Obliterati' has arrived.
Order it here.

"They're making their noise their way, the same way they did some two decades ago. And it's a sound as vital and inspirational as ever." - Pitchfork

"The Obliterati is powerful, smart and noisy, and, in a perfect world, would be enough to re-start the whole punk thing back at 1975 ground zero." - Aversion

"The Obliterati succeeds wildly: These 14 all-new songs might even take 1983s legendary Vs. in a fair fight." - Time Out New York

"Mission of Burma have made their best record ever. Not kidding. It's incredible...simply too many beautiful moments to tell you about here. This year's best album, yo."- The Weekly Dig

"Two albums into its second life, Mission Of Burma is making its legendary early days seem like a prelude. (A-) - The Onion

"Sonic rabble-rousing doesn't get much better than this." ****1/2 - All Music

"How the hell do these 40-something Massholes rock with the urgency of Fugazi and the intelligence of Gang of Four (not just the basslines)? And where do these guys get off taking a 20-year hiatus only to return like Lazarus with a volume fetish?" - Filter

"Theyve managed to produce the best American rock record of the year so far; not bad for a bunch of middle-aged guys from Boston with a nasty case of tinnitus." - Cokemachine Glow

"...a maelstrom of music that comes after you like a police dog on a bloody scent. Its flat out fabulous." - The Big Takeover

Merch
Three brand new t-shirt designs for the Definitive Editions are now available in our on-line shop.

Hut Ab geht in die 3. Runde



Lieber Freund und Besucher unseres Kleinkunstwohnzimmers,


das war nun auch die 2. Runde der Veranstaltung “Hut Ab“. Das gemütliche Ambiente lud ein weiteres mal zum verweilen, zuhören und genießen ein. Annika Hein und Band überraschte das Publikum mit einer vielseitigen multiinstrumentalen Performance. Mit leisen Tönen verzückte uns Dana Shanti und ließ uns den lauten Alltag vergessen. Last but not least, Sid der Liedermacher zauberte mit gesungem Wort und Witz allen ein Lächeln ins Gesicht. Nicht zu vergessen die Leckerein von unserem buchhaltenden Chefkoch Rudi. Es war wieder ein schöner runder Abend. Wie immer gilt ein ganz besonderer Dank an die Künstler und die vielen fleißigen Helfer.


Hoffentlich bis zum 06.11.09, wenn es wieder heißt „Hut Ab“ im ORWOhaus.




Nächstes HUT AB:


Freitag, 06.11.2009

CARE TO PARTICIPATE IN A COMPILATION CD?
Greetings fellow bands and musicians!
a year ago i put together a compilation called Songs That Made An Impact 2009, it was released as a free download last February and www.unuradio.com has been promoting it ever since with all the songs in rotation, 2 months later www.thecreativeplanet.com featured it on their site for the entire month of April.
i have personally sent out free physical copies of the cds to people that buy items from me off ebay, i have sent out over 100 copies that way thus far.
if you have not downloaded the cd yet, please check it out at:
http://www.mediafire.com/?tqgynzh25un

i am now in the process of putting together Songs That Made An Impact 2010, there are still a few openings left and i wanted to let you know in case would like to submit your best song, please send it to: Madbatcat@yahoo.com with "COMPILATION CD" in the subject line and please fill out the info below:
ARTIST NAME:
SONG TITLE:
ARTIST LOCATION:
COPYRIGHT/RECORDING YEAR:
SONGWRITER:
NAME OF CD THE SONG IS FROM: (if it's not on a cd, no worries, i can always put down that it's previously unreleased)
ARTIST CONTACT INFO: (your myspace url and/or your e-mail address,etc.)

as of now i only plan on making another single cd, however if a lot of bands send me mp3s, a double cd is always a great option, it really depends on each band =)
the only profit that will be gained by this will be more people listening to your music
the deadline is 31 January, 2010 but as they say of course, the sooner the better!
if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me asap
thank you so very much!
