WORK IN PROGRESS

Hello friends!

It's been awhile, I know.

We finally aren't homeless anymore. Can you believe it?

We moved into a loft/attic in Brooklyn again. That's right. We're like six blocks away from where we lived in a place known as SK8 & Rhone. We're also like a block from the original house used for our favorite all-ages venue The Artistery, but that was like five years ago or something.

AND we live a few blocks from the Reynold's House where I finally got my girlfriend Lana's number a year ago this Saturday.

Cool to be here. I have a roof-balcony to smoke on outside the window of my bed. There's also a sweet Maine Coon cat here named Turkey who can climb up and down the ladder into our room. She's fluffy and gray and looks a lot smaller than most Maine Coons I've known. She's sitting with me right now. I think we're the only ones in the house, which the kids who live here call the Meat Factory. I don't call it that.

BUT I DIGRESS.

The big news is that we can A.) we can practice here.
And B.) Gnar Tapes & Shit can finally have a workspace again.

We have at least three new tapes coming out next month.

1.Mythology by White Fang. A twenty minute set of songs recorded at KDVS in Davis, California. Widely considered by certain circles to be the cleanest and most well-produced WHT FNG release to date, this tape is a must have for fans of our songs, considering that almost all of our songs (minus a few GLARING exceptions) are contained within the plastic of our Mythology tape.

2. Sparkles by Super Destroy is by far the best. All recorded on tape from the beginning to the end of SK8 & Rhone, this tape is 30 jams featuring various line-ups and instruments. An anthology of a birth and a death, a rebirth and bag of weed, Sparkles traces the beginning of Super Destroy. Also released as a digital coupon w/zine by our favorite Marriage Records.

3. The very first self-titled Super Destroy tape is a classic. Found in the back of a store in a bin while on tour in San Francisco's Chinatown, this gem of a China-Pop Happy New Year jam will blow your mind and wet your panties.

So be ready.

DUH.
