What’s Going On?

NO MEN IN MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL

NO MEN – Dear God, Bring the Doom – Dark, smoky, gothic post-punk and bright, danceable, energetic punk rock all at the same time. They have a similar output to MX-80 SOUND or the full generational spectrum of KILLING JOKE: bright gain-y bass that carries a lot of the melody and guitar, spilling into the crest of the energy, all riled up underneath calm and dark vocals, until the whole thing takes off when she starts shouting. It’s a tape that’ll get you excited about your death wish and proud of your darkness. (MD) (10-song cassette, lyrics not included, no-men.bandcamp.com) Click the picture to snag the zine for $2.99.

CHICAGO READER PREVIEWS IAN’S PARTY

we have a nice little writeup in the Chicago Reader pre-Ian’s Party throwdown Saturday the 7th.

“No Men balance succinct songwriting with a rage that threatens to boil over…”

“haunting vocals [&] high-voltage guitars… amplify each song’s shock beyond what No Men’s volume is otherwise capable of achieving.”

gee whiz, thanks! see you Saturday!

CASSETTE UPDATE: SHIPPING OUT TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25

first off, thanks to everyone who came out for the Logan Square Food Truck Social! it was great fun.

thanks dave

now, two pieces of cassette-related news:

1: WE ARE SO SORRY FOR THE MANUFACTURING DELAYS! All sorts of things were going wrong in printing. But our tapes are finally on the way and the super fancy first edition high-bias chrome Dear God, Bring The Doom cassettes will be in the mail truck on their way to you next Tuesday, 10/25. Something spooky to look forward to for Halloween.

2: we are SOLD OUT of the limited edition/handmade Don’t Think It’s Needed tape as of this week! Thanks to all who bought one, and we hope you enjoy the sounds. I guess it’s time to make some CDs or something.

You can purchase the Dear God, Bring The Doom cassette online through Gezellig Records here: http://gezelligrecords.com/releases/dear-god-bring-the-doom

3 shows left for 2016: Hostel Earphoria 10/28, Aux Arts 11/5, and SubT 11/19. hope to see you at one or all of them!
