Thanks!

that's the idea

thanks/sorry!

no clue, sorry

its honestly easier on us for folks to order through the webstore, since the label's just run out of a house

sweet

but logical

its complicated

Hey folks half of Robotic Empire is moving to Olympia, WA and half of us are staying here in Richmond, VA. The whole Robotic Empire - Online Store is moving too, so we're running a BUNCH of sales before the move, which is going down early April. Robotic Empire - Online Store: Sale Items This includes MOST of the label releases, along with a bunch of distro items. We've also opened up our entire non-Robo-label-release portion of the online store to WHOLESALE ORDERING! So if you run a distro or store, hit us up here. If anyone wants to read the full update they can do so here. Thanks!

also, we've seemingly fixed our "First Class International" bug, so if anyone wasn't ordering due to high postage costs... please try again. if anyone has any issues though definitely let us know!

p.s. thanks if you ordered 1 of every shirt!

we're able to sell these for so cheap because it's how the band wanted it to be, and they were willing to take less of a cut than we normally give just to have it so. pretty admirable!

When our southern brethren in THOU asked us if we wanted to handle the mailorder for their t-shirts, we didn't hesitate for a moment. They like to keep their merch as inexpensive as possible for folks, but still high quality items that are sweatshop free. We're now happy to announce that we've printed up four new shirt designs for THOU, all on American Apparel brand t-shirts, and we're charging $11.99 for the majority of them (2XLs are a buck more). We've lowered the prices of existing Viking Warlock shirts to the same amounts as well. These are all available now in sizes Youth Large through Double Extra Large: * THOU items in the Robotic Empire - Online Store We will be announcing more info about forthcoming THOU releases in the next month or so (some preliminary details can be found in the Robotic Obscurities blog), but we're very excited to be working with these guys! For anyone who hasn't heard them yet, be sure to check our their website for an insane amount of content (including free MP3 downloads of every track they've released to date). At a faster end of the metal spectrum... Vice Magazine has a new blog post entitled "IT HAPPENED - I DRESSED UP AS CANNABIS CORPSE'S WEED MONSTER", which pretty much sums up the post. It's worth a quick read regardless, and we figured this was as good of an excuse as any to knock a couple bucks off the CANNABIS CORPSE vinyl on our site, so we did. These LPs will be on sale until the end of the month: * CANNABIS CORPSE items in the Robotic Empire - Online Store Along with this stuff, we recently discovered a bunch of anomalies while doing our year-end inventory counts. This includes some vinyl with damaged covers, no covers, promo CDs and other wacky stuff, all at heavy discounts of course. Plus a few other new vinyl, CD and tape releases comprising the latest for this update... hit up our Online Store to scope it all out! Robotic Empire - Online Store

That's it, enjoy!

I usually do post something when a new release drops (if nobody beats me to it already), but most of our updates are distro/Online Store related as we have new releases only once every few months, but acquire stuff for our Online Store constantly. longest sentence ever?

it was supposed to, that's why i asked what's up

asked the band what's up with "A Day Of Nights" on vinyl, will post if i find anything out

ok will do!

I did post our updates here a couple of times but the website owners didn't really want us posting our full distro updates, since they also run their own distro. Completely understandable, so I've tried to respect those wishes. That being said, anyone who wants to keep informed on Robotic Empire happenings (including new additions/restocks/sales/etc in our Online Store), please keep an eye on our news blog: http://roboticempirenews.blogspot.com Thanks!

thank you for posting this

so jealous

ROBOTIC OBSCURITIES new posts: all THOU released material to date, and GODS & QUEENS lyrics from the album

Brooklyn/Philadelphia trio GOD & QUEENS are gearing up for an early summer US tour, but quote guitarist/vocalist Jamie Getz who is booking the tour: "Everyone I used to deal with in my peer group has moved up/on/out, and either is done with it altogether, or they are now working at Live Nation, totally out of touch with anything DIY, or they are the "talent buyers" at medium sized clubs." This translates to the band needing help booking shows in your town. They will play your house/garage/basement/club/bar/restaurant/gallery/whatever. Here is their proposed itinerary: 05/28 - Lehigh Valley, PA 05/29 - Boston/Providence/Philly/Brooklyn 05/30 - Boston/Providence/Philly/Brooklyn 05/31 - Philly/Brooklyn 06/01 - DC/Baltimore 06/02 - DC/Richmond/SW VA 06/03 - Durham/Carboro NC 06/04 - Columbia SC/Atlanta GA 06/05 - Atlanta GA/Gainesville FL 06/06 - Miami/Delray FL 06/07 - Pensacola FL (somewhere FL) 06/08 - Birmingham/Mobile AL 06/09 - Mobile AL/ Arkansas? NOLA 06/10 - NOLA / Baton Rouge LA 06/11 - Baton Rouge LA/Houston TX/Day off to drive to AUSTIN 06/12 - Austin TX 06/13 - Austin TX 06/14 - San Antonio TX /Oklahoma City OK 06/15 - Omaha/Lincoln NB 06/16 - Des Moines / Iowa City IA 06/17 - Madison / La Crosse WI / Chicago IL 06/18 - Indianapolis IN / Louisville KY 06/19 - Louisville KY / Columbus OH 06/20 - Cleveland OH 06/21 - Pittsburgh/Erie PA There you have it, not a bad tour. If you can help book them please email [email protected] If you have not heard GODS & QUEENS there are a few songs posted on their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/godsandqueens In mildly related news, completely unprompted and without explanation, Getz also sent us the lyrics for GODS & QUEENS' "untitled" debut 12"+CD that was released on Robotic Empire earlier this year. No clue why these hardheads wouldn't just include them with the album, but you can now find those here: http://roboticobscurities.blogspot.com
