I am proud to announce that I am taking pre-orders for the Her Breath On Glass "What we left behind" collections c.d.
This was a collaborative effort between myself, Bear Records, and Her Breath On Glass.
All the c.d.s are pressed on black poly carbonate discs with elaborate full color arigato pak covers. The c.d. includes songs from hbog #'s 1,3,5,7,8,9,11,12 . plus the live tracks from the limited box sets that hbog did a few months back.
The pre-order version is limited to 25 and come in handsewn sleeves with a screened image, cute her breath on glass lettering, hand numbering, and a special message from me. This is exclusive to my label.
They are $12ppd (only because of the special packaging and shipping) and should ship around July 17th. You can order: paypal: vegan_hugs@yahoo.com or message me about snailmail.
Thank you for your patience. As always I appreciate the support. xo Erick
! there is a new track on the myspace page of hirnmetastase records - the track is from a new split with the german noise project "the shock technician"... the split will come out mid july...
I'm glad everything ended up working out time wise, sorry if it felt i rushed you in any way. Thank you guys for coming out all these times, i hope you guys and your other bands continue to come and enjoy this place. Your set was the sickest ive seen you guys play yet. Though i will always remember being blown away the first time i saw you play in a highschool gym back in '04 ( i recently dug up that demo, classic!)love you guys =)
I had a dream where i saw towers play. Craig had long hair. Greg was suspended on drum hydraulics and doing some crazy shit. And watching this dvd was what triggered me into remembering the dream.
