gravemistake Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 GRAVE MISTAKE RECORDS LABEL UPDATE / MARCH 17, 2010 I. NEW RELEASE - THE ERGS "THRASH COMPACTOR" preorders up now!!! II. UP NEXT! NIGHT BIRDS, DEEP SLEEP, THE LADIES! III. NIGHT BIRDS and DEEP SLEEP TOURS (and some other stuff) This might be the first proper GRAVE MISTAKE label update for 2010 ... I wanted to do this a month ago, but oh well. Here it is ... some exciting things in the works for the upcoming months, and a brand new 7" out now! ****************************************************************************************** I. THE ERGS "THRASH COMPACTOR" 7" now available for PREORDER! Finally after about three years of talking about it, THE ERGS "THRASH COMPACTOR" 7" will finally see the light of day! I think it was November 2006 when Brian from Psyched to Die / Night Birds told me about the mysterious ERGS "Thrash Compactor" session that never made it to it's intended vinyl release. After a few months and some strategic planning, followed by a few more years of waiting, The Ergs breaking up, then some more months of planning, then a couple more months of me being lazy/busy (mostly lazy) ... well I'll spare you the juicy/boring details ... just fast forward to 2010 and here we are! Sure it may have taken a little longer than expected, but it's almost out and that's all that matters. Five ripping hardcore blasts on a one sided 7" ... I know you are probably asking yourself, is this record really necessary? The answer ... YES, yes it is. Get it, you won't be disappointed. You can order it in the GRAVE MISTAKE WEBSTORE: www.gravemistakerecords.com/catalog There are 200 copies on sweet looking RED vinyl with a special red printed cover, and that is available from both GRAVE MISTAKE and FIRESTARTER so decide which one of us you like better and order it. Vinyl is in (actually it's been here since January!) and covers are being printed this week (so says Mike Riley), so hopefully by the weekend we can have everything assembled and start shipping next week ... but things might get delayed so it might not be until the following week. Either way, the wait won't be too horrific so hurry up and order one before the colored vinyl is gone! And if you miss out, the black vinyl sounds just as good I promise. ****************************************************************************************** II. UPCOMING RELEASES! NIGHT BIRDS 7", DEEP SLEEP 12", and THE LADIES 7" GRAVE040: NIGHT BIRDS "S/T" 7" Up next (right around the corner) is the debut 7" EP from New Jersey's NIGHT BIRDS. NIGHT BIRDS features some guys from some bands that you might have heard before, and they are awesome. Killer southern california influenced hardcore punk peppered nicely with some wicked surf guitar licks, and topped with just the right amount of melody ... so if bands like JFA, Agent Orange, and Adolescents are up your alley, you should probably check this band out. And just so you know they mean business, you get a nice little surf instrumental on the B-side. This release will be a split with the one and only DIRTNAP RECORDS, so if for some wacky reason you don't trust the GRAVE MISTAKE seal of approval, surely DIRTNAP is a name you can get behind. First press will come in 500 hand stamped sleeves, so each one gets it's own special touch ... these will be available from the band and both labels. We are shooting for an APRIL 6th release ... the test pressings have been approved so hopefully we'll have these slabs for you soon! GRAVE041: THE LADIES ... as of yet untitled NEW 7" This will be the FOURTH 7" from Richmond's THE LADIES ... by now you should know what to expect. Offensive, abrasive, insulting punk rock and roll. And you know you love it, you love being degraded by a bunch of grown men calling themselves "THE LADIES." I asked Tony Bitch to play me the practice tape he had so I could hear what the new songs sounded like before I agreed to do the record, but he opted to just serenade me with an unplugged and out of tune electric guitar instead. After playing each song, he would recite the lyrics to me like a poem. One word ... brilliance. How could I say no to that? Is the world ready for another LADIES record? In all honesty ... who gives a shit, they are getting one anyways. Expect this sometime in MAY 2010. GRAVE042: DEEP SLEEP "TURN ME OFF" 12" Yes, it's true ... after three 7"s, DEEP SLEEP have decided that the world is finally ready for a 12" release! This will be ten brand new songs; they are in the mixing stages now. I have been hearing nothing but good things from the band about how the record is turning out, so I'm stoked ... from what I've been told, the fast parts are faster and the melodic parts are more melodic (including some three part DOUGHBOYS-esque harmonies), so best of both worlds. I would imagine that if you are a fan of what DEEP SLEEP has been doing over the years, you will probably be into this! Not sure when this LP is gonna be ready, but it's almost in the pipes. Hopefully we'll see that in early summer if all goes well. Also still in the works for 2010 is the GOVERNMENT WARNING CD discography, and we MIGHT even see that BAD ADVICE 7" surface this summer. Who knows? ****************************************************************************************** III. NIGHT BIRDS and DEEP SLEEP TOURS!! Yup, GRAVE MISTAKE bands on tour ... who'd a thunk it. Deep Sleep is going on tour with NO FRIENDS ... that's Tony from Municipal Waste's new band with some guys from New Mexican Disaster Squad. They are on NO IDEA ... NBD. They also steal art. DEEP SLEEP/NO FRIENDS EAST COAST TOUR / April 2010: 1st Greensboro NC Deep Sleep only at this one @7 day weekend 2nd Raleigh NC @ The Pourhouse w/Double Negative, Pollution 3rd Harrisonburg VA @ Macrock w/Double Negative, Valkaryie 4th Washington D.C. @ TBA w/Coke Bust, Double Negative, Bombettes 5th York PA @The Skid Row Garage w/ Common Enemy, & Olde Tiger 6th New Jersey @Bosnia w/ Nightbirds 7th Boston @ Church of Boston w/Ramming Speed, Hellbent Hookers, Livver 8th Brooklyn NY @Bruar Falls w/The Bombettes, Nightbirds 9th Philadelphia PA @The Terrordome w/Affirmative Action Jackson, John Wilkes Youth 10th Richmond VA @The Bikelot w/Cloak Dagger, Dry Spell, Freeman NIGHT BIRDS tour and 7" release shows: Mar 24 2010 ASBURY LANES W/THE MEASURE [sA] ASBURY PARK, New Jersey Mar 25 2010 WHITNEY HOUSE W/ DEEP SLEEP HARTFORD, Connecticut Mar 26 2010 SLAUGHTER HOUSE 5 W/ DEEP SLEEP, BILLY RAYGUN DOVER, New Hampshire Mar 27 2010 REBEL SOUND RECORDS W/MISSING DATA PITTSFIELD, Massachusetts Mar 28 2010 THE DEMOCRACY CENTER W/ESCALATOR, WURM TONGUE, CONDENSED FLESH CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts Apr 6 2010 BOSNIA... 7" RECORD RELEASE SHOW NEW BRUNSWICK, New Jersey Apr 8 2010 BRUAR FALLS w/ THE BOMBETTES, DEEP SLEEP BROOKLYN, New York Other dates of note ... I'll be hanging out at mAcR0K 2010 in Harrisonburg, VA (http://macrock.org/) the first week of April. I'll be tabling for my employer, the INDEPENDENT LABEL COLLECTIVE (www.ilcdistro.com), maybe I'll have some GM goodies set up too ... Deep Sleep, Cloak/Dagger, and maybe even Southside Stranglers will be playing one of the shows, and I think I'll also be speaking on a panel on Saturday as well. So come say hi if you and yer purty mouth find yourself unintentionally lost in the mountains / backwoods of western Virginny. Oh and WASTED TIME is playing CHAOS IN TEJAS this year in Austin ... two shows, one on Thursday and one on Saturday. Check your local internet for show times and details. I think that's it for now ... I doubt anyone made it this far down. If you did ... thanks for reading!!!!
