Supersuckers - 20th Anniversary Show


Price:  $13.99


20 years? Is that even possible? I mean, name something you've been doing, voluntarily, for 20 years. Can you even do that? It really doesn't feel like it's been even five years of doing this, much less twenty. Well, like it or not, it has been 20 full years of hanging out with pretty much the same bunch of guys, doing roughly the same thing, every day, every night and there's no end in sight. The night that these songs were recorded was pretty much like any other night in our lives. Except it wasn't. We were there to celebrate our existence. To go chronologically through our repertoire and bring it to a sold out house at the fabulous Showbox in downtown Seattle, where we cut our teeth for the last 20 years. I mean, how long could it take to run through our history (or at least touch on most of the highlights)? Well, it turns out it took us about two and a half hours. That's right, there is about two and a half hours of glorious Supersuckers mayhem right here. Warts and all. And I'd be lying if I said there weren't any warts here to be heard, because you don't get through two and a half hours on stage without hitting a few clams along the way. But that's all part of the fun. It's the Supersuckers after all, not the Seattle Philharmonic, so what do you expect? Perfection? Well, in it's own way that's what's represented here in this recording - that perfectly imperfect moment, where everything is wrong and it feels so right. Where anything that can go wrong, does and yet it still works. Somehow, someway, after twenty years we still got it... So here's to the next twenty! That what I'm talking about...

Paper Bird - Live at Twist and Shout


Price:  $5.99


Standing firm in no existing genre, Paper Bird's backbone is their songwriting, musicianship and a general allergy to all limitations and trends. With seven members and no leader, this band is pulled in every direction imaginable, but thanks to their unique instrumentation this Colorado based group is able to merge their spontaneous creativity into one, solid sound. The members of the band- Sarah Anderson, vocals and trumpet; sisters Esmé and Genny Patterson, vocals; Tyler Archuletta, trombone; Paul DeHaven, guitar; Caleb Summeril, banjo; Macon Terry, upright bass - bring a Jazzy, Folk, Americana sound that pays homage to the American Bandstand of the 1950’s. Still, they are able to achieve the Indie rock image and resonance of the current age. The band’s inception came three years ago in Breckenridge, Colorado. Meeting for the first time, the members were busking in the streets where they earned a couple hundred dollars, bought some beer and dinner, and decided to form a band. Later that same month they went into the studio and recorded their first album Anything Nameless and Joymaking, which has been a top selling record in local retail stores. The Colorado favorites have recently been in the studio recording their sophomore album. The band is so excited about their new creation they decided to release a prelude to the full-length album. The five song EP A Sky Underground was self-released before their 2009 summer tour which included stops at High Sierra Music Festival, Oregon Country Fair, 10,000 Lakes, and Mile High Music Festival. The female vocals create a soulful, dynamic harmony that accentuates each singer, while giving the illusion of a single voice. The trombone, banjo, and guitar elevate the music to a higher level while the skilled notes of the bass reflect the harmonies. Each style bounces off the other, while each note appreciates the other. They make audiences feel love, excitement, and passion. A show not to be missed, a band that must be heard: Paper Bird is one of a kind.

Hayden - The Place Where We Lived


Price:  $14.99


In 1996, Hayden performed both nights of Neil Young's annual Bridge School Concert. In 1998, Hayden toured North America with a full band in support of The Closer I Get. After the release of The Closer I Get, Hayden was bought out from his contract with Universal Records for a large sum of money. Full details have never become public.

In 2001 (and with no label support), Hayden very quietly distributed 100 hand-written, packaged and numbered copies of Skyscraper National Park to friends and independent record shops throughout Toronto. This was quickly followed by an additional 1,500 hand- numbered copies (this time with professionally printed liner notes). These copies were primarily sold at live shows. The critical success of these two limited-edition runs led to a full commercial release of the recording later that same year. In 2004, Hayden released his long awaited follow up album, Elk Lake Serenade, and toured North America with Oshawa's Cuff the Duke acting as his back-up band.

   


Magic Wands - Magic Love & Dreams EP


Price:  $5.99


Magic Wands are a two-piece from either Los Angeles, CA or Nashville, TN. They’re not really sure. Currently, however, they do know that they are drifting across the country bringing a “wall of guitars” and “unapologetic cosmic pop” to all parts of the U.S. while touring with The Kills and The Horrors. Taking cues from the likes of The Ravonettes (run at half speed), Morrissey and My Bloody Valentine, Artrocker describes them as “Slick and sexy, glutinous and glimmering.”

   


The Boy Least Likely To – The Best B-Sides Ever


Price:  $9.99


hello fans,
we thought you might like to know a bit more about the b sides and rarities compilation that we've put together. this is what the cover looks like. we were thinking that because b sides are usually songs that don't make it on to albums or aren't good enough to be a sides, that we would remake the original cover for the best party ever but with characters that were rejected from the original drawings we did for being too ugly or weird.??
i hope you like it.
