While it’s likely that we have already tipped our hand with their appearance at our 20th anniversary festival (and also with bits of press coverage like this Seattle Weekly piece), we are exceedingly thrilled to announce that we are now working with the band Obits!

Let’s meet the men of Obits!

Rick Froberg—-guitar, vocals
Sohrab Habibion—-guitar, vocals
Greg Simpson—-bass
Scott Gursky—-drums

Rick was in Pitchfork , Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes. Sohrab was in Edsel. Scott was (and is, for about another week, apparently) in Shortstack. And, according to that Seattle Weekly article linked above Greg Simpson is easily the best musician in the band—no small feat in the company he’s keeping here.

They are an amazing band, an excellent group of people and we are very excited to be working with them.

The plan is to release the first Obits full-length record album sometime in the first few months of 2009.

SHAZAM

Heading to see Obits tomorrow night in Pittsburgh – very stoked, heard the 7” via emusic and its sweet. It really beats the overloaded mini-mics from whoever taped their first show ever.

What? No love?

Cleveland is in the works

Probably won’t be sooner than July, maybe as late as September. But, we’ll post the date on the site as soon as something is confirmed. Sorry it’s not sooner!
