protagonist Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Two records that people have been eagerly awaiting are finally here!! We are very happy to announce the debut LP from Oakland's BIG KIDS. The recording on "Hoop Dreams" is 9 tracks that capture the bliss of playing music with your good friends, touring in a shitty van, playing killer house shows, and seeing life through the prism of punk rock. Melodies and dirt, sing-alongs and feedback, relationships and ideas...all are represented here. If you dig Small Brown Bike, Bear Vs. Shark, or New Bruises, this band is going to be your next fave. Comes with a digital download too! The project is a split-label effort between Protagonist and the fine people at TopShelf Records http://www.topshelf-records.com/, and each label will has an exclusive color of vinyl to offer. We have the multi-colored wax, and they have pink-swirl. (We have a package deal with both colors too!) NOTE: This is a pre-order, records will not ship until mid-July! Order here: http://protagonistmusic.bigcartel.com/ An odd couple in some ways, and perfect mates in others, TEENAGE COOL KIDS and DANIEL STRIPED TIGER have been talking about this record forever. And here it is: two new songs from each band! The record is "party" themed and comes on colored vinyl with great full-color packaging and a digital download. Super limited to only 440 copies available form the labels...so act fast...if this record is re-pressed it will not be done in the same way at all. Limited red vinyl available from us. Blue available from Clean Plate Records http://www.cleanplate.com/ so check them out! (or from us in a package deal with both colors!) NOTE: This is a pre-order, records will not ship until mid-July! Order here: http://protagonistmusic.bigcartel.com/ COMING SOON: BLACK KITES "Songs Written While Things Were Changing" LP ALGERNON CADWALLADER "Fun" 7" re-press http://protagonistmusic.com http://www.myspace.com/protagonistmusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Just one question... ...will the secret track be on the Big Kids LP? Also, shipping is coming up as $7.50 for one LP. I feel that this should not be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protagonist Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Yes, the "secret track" is on the vinyl....and it's super fun! Shipping for the USA is $12.00ppd, and I just checked it out, so try again... Let me know if you're still having any trouble with that. Thanks for all the support guys, stuff is selling well - especially the split 7" That sucker won't last long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enjoyadrian Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 is protagonist putting out the next teenage cool kids lp? The new songs sound very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protagonist Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 which new songs are you referring to...? and where did you hear them? as for the new album, they haven't asked us to be a part of it...so I doubt it. i'm sure we'd be willing, they are like family to us...but it's probably time they work with a bigger label and i'd imagine that's what will happen.

protagonist Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Yeah, I figured you might have heard them there... but I wasn't sure if you were referring to the 2 songs on the split 7" Anyway, we love the TCK fellas and wish them well no matter what they choose to do. The new LP will be great, as their releases always are, and I'm sure we will work together again along the way. Also, I think they might tour again in the fall or winter, so get happy about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protagonist Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Copies of the BIG KIDS "Hoop Dreams" LP multi-color vinyl came out mostly in a beautiful blue swirl. Hopefully pics up soon! Orders on that should start shipping out by mid/late next week Gonna be another 10-14 days before the TCK/DST split is ready.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griftors18 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I picked up this big kids record at warped tour in Hartford last Sunday. I haven't stopped listening to it. I hadn't heard of them and bought the record on a whim and I think I may have found a staple band that I will come back to over and over. Its just dirty grungy pop punk party music and I love it. The bonus track it so great. I'd love to see Big Kids make it out to New England possibly on tour with Grown Ups and Pinsky. That tour would rule! Anyways solid release and great band!

Hey griftors18, that means you picked it up from us. Thanks! Big Kids are on tour now with 1994 and will be in the New England area this week/weekend. Check out their myspace http://www.myspace.com/oaklandbigkids for their dates. We also have a package deal with a shirt for the Big Kids vinyl: Hey Brendan, our multi color copies came out more orange than blue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
