UK LP Update + Loss Leaders in Japan!

The vinyl for the All In Vinyl version of Loss Leaders is on it's way to the UK.  It's on clear vinyl and looks excellent.  We'll have a small number of these available for people stateside in the new year.  Covers and inserts should be done soon and it'll be out in January.

In other news, the mighty Waterslide Records in Japan is releasing Loss Leaders on CD over there!  All the art is done and that version should be in production and out pretty soon.

No shows booked currently - we're just tightening up on these songs for two new 7"s and aim to record them in January.

Thanks to everyone for their continued support!

New Shirts!

We re-printed the Kids shirt design on new colors.  We also found a couple of the Circle designs in large.  You can snag those at http://hipkidrecords.storenvy.com

The Thirsty Chords/Turncoat show was excellent.  Thanks to those bands and Sass Dragons for playing and 86 Mets for having us.  Go see the Japanese bands today in Wisconsin.

Our next show is November 17th with Direct Hit, Lipstick Homicide, and Galactic Cannibal.  Lipstick Homicide is one of the best live bands around, so come to the show.  Details on the shows page.

Loss Leaders in the UK

Speed-o-Wax has dropped off the UK release of our LP, but the mighty ALL IN VINYL is still going to be doing a pressing for the other side of the pond.  It will be on a special UK only color and is going into production in the next few days.  Keep your eyes peeled here and at www.allinvinyl.com .

Sweet Home Chicago

We're back from tour and it was excellent!  Thanks a million to those who helped us out and allowed us to have such a solid time.  We've still got a handful of OBI strip copies of the LP left.  Snag one at http://hipkidrecords.storenvy.com or at one of our two very solid upcoming shows:

11/2 - 86 Mets - Sass Dragons, Thirsty Chords (JAPAN), Turncoat (JAPAN), Boilerman

11/17 - Township (all ages) - Direct Hit, Lipstick Homicide, Boilerman, Galactic Cannibal


Nest up is getting to work finishing up writing for two 7"s we're planning.  Things are progressing nicely, so more on that soon.  Stay boogie.
