Jeff and I are hitting the road for what's my first proper solo tour.  There are going to be some other NW dates tacked on in September sometime.

NO IDEA what all Jeff will have...  but I'm going to have all six of my tapes released so far (Denim Life, Unlimited Options, Mr. Entertainment, Signs of Life, Ghost O Clock, and Challenger)..  and I'm 99% sure I'm going to have THREE LPs..  "Where I Was" collects edits of the first four tapes and "Waiting For the Ladies" is a tour split LP with Rene Hell.  both of those are self released and super limited (250 on the split, 300 on the solo) and those I WILL have.  the other one is "Feelings in America" which is my first "REAL" solo album that'll be out on Root Strata.  Again, pretty damn limited.  All of the distro copies for the self-released guys have been spoken for and Boomkat will have the LP for sale in the UK and Mimaroglu will have the LP in the US...  I may have some other  tapes too..  considering reissuing static space on tape...

anyway..  here are the shows:

8/26; sacremento @ the hub; 4913 47th ave w/ valley daze
8/27; off
8/28; l.a. @ the smell w/ Heller Keller + TBA
8/29; l.a. @ echo curio; w/ john wiese, infinite body, robedoor
8/30; long beach @ artistasart; with preggers {mem of no age}, coppertone, balloons {mem of earn & mirror to mirror}
8/31; san louis obisbo @ 3069 Broad St. W w/ r. sawyer
9/1; oakland @ life changing ministries, 1629 8th st w/ tom carter, leslie q
9/2-9/5; san fransisco @ on land festival w/ Bill Orcutt, grouper, xela, etc
9/6; arcata @ tba w/ operative, starving weirdos

Ahh, need those two LPs. Will you be selling any of those after the tour?

probably not.  Boomkat and mimaroglu really got almost everything.  I've got a few copies for friends and copies for tour left.  pick em up from the distros if you see them there.

they got a pile of em so they shouldn't go THAT fast...  but who knows?

Good to see some of those cassette releases reaching vinyl Pete (and the new album & Rene Hell split!). Hopefully I'll manage to bag a copy when they reach boomkat.

Agreed, really looking forward to picking up those LPs :)

glad to see there's some enthusiasm for these guys.

I'll post here when  I send off the LPs to boomkat and mimaroglu so you'll have about a week's heads up...  should be about three weeks til they hit the distros at this point..

I'm really not going to have any copies available for mailorder and you guys should really buy from the distros for these guys if you're not going to be around on the cali tour.

awesome news about the LPs and i wholeheartedly support the static space reissue. excited to see you guys at On Land.

OK.  I said I'd do this..  so..  HEADS UP.

Boomkat and Mimaroglu should be listing these guys this week..  they may list them early next week.  NOT SURE..  but the LPs are either at the distros or are en route. 

I expect the split with Rene Hell to vanish very quickly so if you want a copy, jump on it.

Shit, I hope it's this week. I'll be gone for a week starting friday. I'll be gutted if I miss that one.

ok..  boomkat has em up right now..

mimaroglu will have them up shortly.

ordered :)

Thanks Pete

what a pleasant surprise to see on boomkat. definitely ordering both of these from mimaroglu.

I'll be tripping on the road for the ON LAND Festival... Do you think the 3 LP's will be sold out before then?

I've got 40-50 of each of the self-released LPs set aside for the tour..  pretty sure they won't sell out before On Land...  I'll probably actually stash 20 copies of each just for On Land.  NO IDEA when the Root Strata LP will show up, but I'll do the same thing for the fest if I have em by then.  I'll probably only have them out the day I'm playing tho.

oh..  and Keith should have the records MONDAY so he'll be listing them early next week.

Cool beans, can't wait to absorb these. Thanks Pete!

Right on! The Oaktown show will rule! What time will the festivities probably start? Saving my pennies and counting down the days. Peace!

@ Pete Swanson: May I ask about the Waiting For The Ladies LP artwork, Pete? It looks great!

you can ask about the artwork..  but I don't know anything about it other than Witscher did it.  my design sense is a lot more spare than his is

OK.  HEADS UP.  MIMAROGLU JUST LISTED THE LPS.

sicky gnar gnar. i might just go ahead and snag these now.

Cannot wait to have these LPs in my hands!  And thanks for the heads up on the stock updates!

wow. both of these are fantastic. i had 3/4 cassettes, but this sounds great on wax. if the side on the split is any indication of what the root strata LP is gonna sound like, color me excited. great work, can't wait for on land.
