LEMURIA stopped by the Asian Man Records Garage last month.

Here are the screen printed covers to the new LEMURIA “Get Better” repress!!!

SMOKING POPES pre-orders.  CD’S have shipped out, but the vinyl is slightly delayed. The vinyl pre-orders won’t be going out until around March 15th. I have sent download codes to all of you who ordered the vinyl.  If you didn’t get one, please let me know and I’ll get that to you. The Popes have a new video for the song PUNK BAND.  You can view here: http://vimeo.com/20445213

What else?
KUDROW/HARD GIRLS split 7”
SAINTE CATHERINES “DEAD DOG” 7”
and SPRAYNARD “FUNTITLED” are all at the pressing plant now.
Should have the 7 inches ready for mailorder starting in April.
Wayne Stahl from the band FOR.THE.WIN has just finished a solo album that we have available in the webstore.

We also got a bunch of the LEMURIA/CHEAP GIRLS 7” on No Idea up in our webstore.  And we got the last 31 copies of the KEPI GHOULIE ART OF THE UNDERGROUND 7” series.  Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.

and then the almighty SPRAYNARD is coming out on May 10th.
The new SPRAYNARD album sounds delicious.  We’ll be posting some songs on their facebook page soon. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Spraynard/131227036929985

They’re album cover make me giggle and I just so the full layout of the LP and all I can say is GENIUS.  I’m looking forward to meeting these kids in June as they make their way out for the AM festival.

Speaking of the asian man festival, I will be getting up an information page in the next week or so, but if you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

The wonderfully amazing band THE WILD are doing a 2 week tour starting this Friday.   YAY.  Here are there dates.  Please go see them and make them feel loved.

Their music is beautiful.

And finally, I hate plugging my own stuff, but I have finished my children’s album.  It’s called “SMILE” (11 songs)  I’ve tested them on my own kids (ages 4 and 2) and they have given it the thumbs up.  So look for this sometime in May or June.  I will do a limited run on vinyl just for those collector nerds.  So some thing small like 100 copies will be going out.

And that’s it folks.  Be well.  Smile big.
peace, mike park

Hey guys, Alex from lemuria just sent out an update on Lemuria as of late:

“Hey,
We are writing you because you recently ordered Lemuria stuff from us.  We’re just letting everybody know that we have a new 7” out called “Chautauqua County” that you can order here:  www.b9store.com/lemuria    The record is limited to 1000 copies and is available on red and yellow vinyl.  When these copies are sold out, there will not be a repress of the record! 

You can hear the A-side of the record on our My Space page. 

They also have added some really awesome shirt designs that you can’t get at our shows and on our merch site that are exclusive to their store. 

Bridge 9 will be releasing our 2nd full length album entitled “Pebble”.  This record will come out on January 11th, 2011.  You can see a sneak peak of some of it by this little video we put together of us in the studio recording with J Robbins:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOeKOoVBh8Q

And finally, we are going on tour this winter.  You can check out all of our tour dates on our website or My Space page. 

Thanks!  Hope all has been well!
Alex”
