Now that our music week shows with Daniel Johnston and Jay Reatard are over we're done here at Samizdat for the year. We hope you've all had a good year and enjoyed some great bands. For now, get down to see Indica Ritual and pick up their new 7" on Samizdat and PostMusic, it's strictly limited to 250 so wont last long! As for next year we've got the fantastic Tera melos with if all things go to plan some ridiculously rad support, Trans Am in association with Meshuggy and Ian Svenonious' (Nation of Ulysses / Wierd War / The Make-Up) new band Chain and the Gang. On top of this expect more Samizdat Cinema screenings, maybe another 7" or two and some very very special one of gigs and workshops. Have a good one.

We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.

Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound.
Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape.
Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.
Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.
Thank you so much for "bandfriending" us, Samizdat! We truly appreciate it.
We hope that you find something of ours that will wriggle into your ears, burrow down next to your heart (in a good way), and compel you to ROB US BLIND (again, in a good way: "Free downloads, ahoy!”…that is, if Myspace ever gets around to reactivating that feature).
If you like us, please, tell a friend. If you hate us, hell, tell an enemy!
we definately have a free song for you to have at www.hyhi.co.uk you definately should go there now and download it now definately thank you please excuse me x
