Merch and Typewriter distro update
After selling out most books, Typewriter distro provided us with some fresh food for thought. Including obviously books, but also zines, DVDs, folders, stickers and more. Interested in their items? Come to a show, or visit their online store.
Meanwhile we inventoried all re-releases of the last months and updated our little store as well. We added a new T-shirt design and put up a discography-discount. A what? A discography-discount: order all newly available albums (as CDs or LPs) + a shirt of your choice for 30 euro (excl shipping). That’s 3 full-length albums, an EP and a T-shirt. This offer won’t be up for long, so get it while it’s cool! Or just browse our store to see if you can support our future recordings with a purchase.
News about new recordings, releases and tours will follow.
Tourposter design update
Hey, what’s happening? It’s been kind of quiet on our side lately, but don’t let that fool you! Lots of time was spent on the recordings of our new EP over the last weeks. More news about that soon.
In the mean time we’d like to give a big Thank You to everyone who took the time to design a tour poster (or several) and send that over to us. Thanks! While we originally planned to pick a new design after June 10, we’ve decided to give it a little more time. The designs we’ve received so far are great, and we’d like to see if there’s even more cool designs out there waiting to be discovered. So, if you planned on sending in a poster, but found yourself short on time, we’re still accepting posters until June 25th. Everything you need to know can still be found right here.
Thanks again, and we promise: no more procrastination now 🙂
