FIRE TEAM CHARLIE 10" out now and other ADAGIO830 news

Folks. the FIRE TEAM CHARLIE 10" just arrived at our headquarter and people that didn't ordered their copy yet - should go for it. Cause its sooo awesome. We have a handful pre orders left (check the bisaufsmesser.com/store) ...
500 got pressed and 100 copies came/ come on silverish vinyl.

But we have some more news. We approved the test press for the 4way split (ghostlimb, zann, trainwreck & perth express) and also gave our ok to the proofs from the printer. I I hope we have a shipping date soon and then we start taking pre orders. I can tell you this record gonna look and sound so awesome.

Next in line in the ORDINATION OF AARON discography DLP ... we have all files ready and the record goes in the plant next week. FINALLY. More updates on that soon. I just know I will spent the christmas eve w/ friend folding and cutting inlays. hahaha

The DROWING w/ OUR ANCHORS LP get mastered right now at SAE (quarterstick, thrill jockey .. etc) and I hope we can send it to the plant in december as well. Adam Hunt takes care of the layout and I just got the rough mix. I can tell you - this record takes you back to the 90ies and will not leave your turntable for ages. (make sure to see them next year in EUROPE w/ GODS & QUEENS on their euro tour!)

We also confirmed a 10" for TRAINWRECK (which should be out in APRIL 09), a new 12" for COMADRE (which also should be out in April/ May 09) and a re issue of the burn your bones LP, then a 7" for our friends in FARGO (whch hopefully comes out in January 09) and a 12" for STERLING (which is another band from San Francisco and if you like old DINOSAUR JR etc - this is just awesome. Ex funeral diner - which doesn't matter. hahaha)
the KHERE 12" is still on the map - teh artwork is just not done yet.

So keep your eyes and ears open and thanx for all the support

some ADAGIO830 news

folks.
... we are back from the ZANN US tour and we can be just thankful to all the people that helped us out w/ a show and gave us a place to stay - special thanks to GRAF ORLOCK for all their work setting up the tour, gave us their VAN and Backline and made this trip awesome. THANK YOU

We also got the preview for teh 4way split LP w/ ZANN/ GHOSTLIMB/ PERTH EXPRESS & TRAINWRECK and it looks great. Adam Hunt did another awesome job and I guess we can ship everything to the pressing plant in the next days.

Brand new is our first split release w/ Robotic Empire - which is the debut full lenght lp by GODS & QUEENS. GODS & QUEENS is a three piece band from Brooklyn/Philadelphia who tried in vain to blatantly steal riffs and song patterns from some of their favorite bands (like HOOVER, LUNGFISH, JUNE OF 44, SPACEMAN 3 and the like)... but failed in every attempt. Instead here are seven songs that resemble nothing of who or what they were intended to be. A few have said it sounds like a low rent, super depressed version of FUGAZI, or QUICKSAND with out the start stop timing." What boils down to is that GODS & QUEENS is playing an abnormally dark blend of indie/shoegazer/whatever-people-want-to-call-it. If you care its people from LickGoldenSky, Versoma etc etc ... We have the vinyl availabe in the next days.

Drowing w/ Our Anchors decided to re record the songs for the upcoming full length - so it get a bit delayed. But I hope we have it out in december 09. I just can tell you the new songs are KILLER.

We got all the stuff for the ORDINATION OF AARON discography together and I guess we gonna ship it to the plant by the end of october. There is alot of stuff to do w/ it - but it will look amazing!!!

Also Constantine Sankathi got most of the stuff together - so its all in progress. The same for teh CHINO HORDE discography LP - which will get remastered etc ... More news later.

FireTeamCharlie sent their recordings and artwork to us ... so if we are lucky it will be ready for christmas ;) Mouthbreather gonna record early spring for a 12" on ADAGIO830 ... and then they will tour europe in September 09 w/ ZANN in europe.

While speaking of touring - GODS & QUEENS and DROWING WITH OUR ANCHORS will be on tour in Europe in APRIL 09
and if you could help w/ a show - PLEASE GET IN TOUCH.

I guess thats it for now
Thanx
robert

GODS & QUEENS debut LP OUT ON OCT 14th

Yep - official release date is oct 14th. There will be 3 different color schemes

425 on translucent orange (adagio830)
425 on translucent purple (robotic empire)
150 on translucent orange split white (band)

All records come w/ the CD inside and in a gatefold cover

On Gods and Queens' debut, washes of reverb collide with echoes of shoegazer's catchier moments. There's mature inconsistency here--or, in other words: fast songs, slow songs, and one droning psychedelic blissfest.
To quote the band themselves, "Gods and Queens is a three-piece from Brooklyn/Philadelphia who tried in vain to blatantly steal riffs and song patterns from some of their favorite bands (Hoover, Lungfish, June of '44, Spaceman 3, and the like), but failed in every attempt. Instead, here are seven untitled songs that in no way resemble who or what they were intended to mimic. Some have compared the band to a low-rent, depressed version of Fugazi, others to Quicksand without the stop-start timing."

Boiled down, Gods and Queens plays an abnormally dark blend of indie/shoegazer/whatever-people-want-to-call-it.
