Shows, Digital Downloads and Get Help Bloggin'
Hey, it’s Spring again and we just wanted to let you all know about what’s happening at the Midriff camp. Things that are important to us… things that are important to you.
First up, shows! There are a bunch of Midriff related shows featuring Midriff related artists happening in and around the Boston area in the upcoming weeks that you should know about. Here they are in order of immediacy.
This Friday May 16th, our good friend The Ryan’s Smashing Life Music Blog is hosting a stellar show at TT the Bears Place (Central Square in beautiful Cambridge, MA) featuring Midriff Records own Scuba. The doors open at 8 PM and we are told to get there early for free CD giveaways. The RSL blog is one of, if not the greatest music blogs here in Boston, if not the entire world. Details on the rest of the line up and other surprises that night can be found at their website: http://ryanssmashinglife.blogspot.com
Next up… Make sure to block off Saturday May 31 on your calendars. Pending Disappointment will be playing a show at Club Aurora in Taunton, MA. Club Aurora is part of the Bandstand Live Complex down in the Southern burbs of Boston. If you have never been there, you are doing yourself a disservice. They have live shows, stores, recording and artist studios, skate parks and batting gages all within the same complex. Plus Pending will be playing there that evening (supporting their recent full length release “New York, Penn, NY”) so now you have an excuse to check out the digs. Cost for the show will be $10.
Finally on the show tip… closing out May but technically in June, Eldridge Rodriguez will be headlining a show at Harper’s Ferry in Allston, MA on Sunday June 1. He will be joined by an ever changing gaggle of backing musicians… it really is anybody’s guess who will be supporting him that night (although at the time of this release we have confirmed ex-Clouds/ex-Miltown bassist J Cannava, Liberty and Union Recording Studio proprietor Ray Jeffery, and The Spanish Armada’s L. Tiburon Pacifico and Dan Parlin… but this could all change at a moments notice).
In other Eldridge Rodriguez news, be sure to check out the June issue of Verbicide Magazine for a righteous feature on the man friends call E.R. Verbicide can be found online at www.verbicidemagazine.com or in print at your local FYE, Coconuts, Strawberries, Newbury Comics, Tower Records, Wherehouse Music, and Hastings, as well as select Borders, Barnes & Noble, Hudson News, Books-A-Million, Universal News, Chapters, and Indigo locations.
In still other E.R. news starting in June and running throughout the summer Midriff Records will be making available new E.R. material for free on our website. The free digital singles will be offered for a limited time with no strict or particular timetable or advance notice. So you will need to check out the Midriff Records website regularly or else miss a chance to download demos, album outtakes, random recordings, new arrangements, live cuts and remixes by E.R. and his crew.
Also, if you haven’t already please check out the Get Help blog, which can be found linked off of the Midriff site. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the band, which consists of Tony from The Beatings and Mike, formally of NYC’s Strikes Again, the blog offers MP3 downloads, quick witted insights and previews the band’s upcoming full-length release due out on Midriff later this year. The Get Help blog can be found at http://www.midriffrecords.com/gethelp/
Well, that’s all for May. As always, much more info on Scuba, Pending Disappointment, Eldridge Rodriguez and Get Help can be found at our site, www.midriffrecords.com
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please don’t hesitate to shoot us an email at clayton@midriffrecords.com . We’ll all touch base again in June, when we’ll have new info on a rare upcoming Beatings performance and the new Midriff Boston mailing address… how exciting. Thanks for the support.
