Post-show THANKS are in order:

Shows where you’re standing outside a nearby drugstore watching multiple fire trucks speeding towards the space going “Please don’t turn right.” don’t usually end up this fun.

BIG_UPS to: Bible Thumper for loaning nearly every band their gear on the 30th day of their 30-day tour, Sean for lending people gear even though he didn’t get to play, Furnace for sacrificing their set due to time constraints, Joe, and WWTA/everyone who set up the show and then had to re-set up the show, Box Fort for hosting Round II last minute, everyone who made the trek over from Round I, and anyone else who played, hung out, or offered refreshments!

RIP Anthony

Earlier today, we learned that Anthony Poynter passed away after an arduous battle with cancer.
 
I didn’t know Anthony as well as many in his wide circle of friends and loved ones, but what I do know is that Anthony was a champion of independent music and a total sweetheart. He literally booked every show I’ve ever played in his home state of Kentucky, always ready lend a hand with a hall, community-run space, house, cafe etc. If he couldn’t put you up for the night, he knew someone that could. If you were hungry, he’d find you something to eat. Each summer, it seemed like he was simultaneously strengthening his community and acting as a one-man scene, and it didn’t surprise me to learn that he was still attending shows and releasing records after his diagnosis. We didn’t get to see each other as often as I might have liked, but regardless of how well he knew you, Anthony gave out hugs like highfives. I wish I had the chance to give him one more, and watching the outpouring of support from all over the globe today and in the past year, I know there’s a lot of people that feel the same way. Rest in peace, man.

Ladyfest Boston Comp + Send More Shorts Shots

Click this link to hear a great comp featuring bands playing at Ladyfest Boston in just a few weeks. We contributed “Big Machines” and there are offerings from local pals like Thick Shakes and Cotton Candy as well as out-of-staters like This Is My Fist, Tunabunny, and even Alice Bag. Hot shit! 2012 is looking pretty solid so far.

ALSO we still need pictures of your shorts for an upcoming release. The deadline is sort of now/ASAP! Sharp, decent-quality pics of shorts on a white or plain, light-colored background are highly preferably. Otherwise we might have to take your submission off of this project. (We don’t want to have to take your shorts off, but we will.)
